Yay for you! Well you already have God on your side, nothing to be nervous about. I prayed that if this was a tool for me then He'd make it possible....And did He ever!!! The surgery has been a real blessing to me. I'm off my BP medicine! Be joyful and encouraged!! : )

Mississippi Girl- I am on the 10th as well (and a Mississippi Girl, too)! Leaks are a very, very, small percentage- a risk nonetheless. I have some worries but I am going to pray without ceasing and I believe He will carry me through just fine :) !

as we all know, every surgery has risks...most drs do a leak test when the complete the surgery or the next day to be sure that we are all sewed up nice and tight... you have to think "BIG PICTURE" of how this is going to be a benefit for you

I think everyone has some fear when it comes to the leaks. But do what the dr says and listen to your body. If something doesnt feel right act on it. We as women have a wonderful gift called womens intuition. Use it. Listen to your body and you'll be ok

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?
