Howdy - I too am on the 25th. Starting pre-op tomorrow.

Look forward to hearing everyone's progression, and am hoping everyone has a smooth transition.

Best of luck with the pre-op diet. I start next Tuesday, the 18th.

Midtown sunshine! I want to put a schedule on my phones alarms to remind me of when to take my pills and drink my Protein and Water. I think I am going to need help. I think I need a get up and walk on it too.

I found an app called Bariatric Timer that allows you to set timers to remind you when to eat and when to start/stop drinking.

I saw that one too. I wish it also kept a timer for the Vitamins that have to be taken 4 times per day.

I don't know how your phone is but on mine I can set an alarm and give it a name so when it goes off it will say on the screen take Vitamin or whatever I want it to

Same here. Aug 17th. I'm on day 4 of Preop diet. Not doing too bad, but fixing dinner for the family stinks. I keep smacking my own hand because I start to taste what I'm cooking. Grrrr...

What is your pre-op diet like? my surgeon basically just wants me to have Clear Liquids two days before and that's about it... I sort of put myself on my own pre-op diet. XD

Hi. I found out today that I am officially scheduled for August 27. It is sooner than I expected. I start my two week 800 calorie high protien, no carb, low fat preop diet today. Wow, I can't believe it. So ready to be on the losers bench.

I had RNY on the 10th. I'm slightly confused because j have had no nausea, vomiting and very little gas pains. The only thing I can say that's really different is the feeling in my chest I get after eating anything. Also I have a lot of pressure after meals and sometimes feel like my new tummy is spasming or cramping. I've been trying to take my Vitamins and get my Water and Protein in , but it's been extremely hard. I don't feel hunger anymore. I have been struggling with the head hunger and craving weird stuff like Beans crab and salmon lol. Luckily it's stuff I can have in the future. I'm starting to get tired of broth and Protein Shakes, but I'm in it for the long haul now. There's also this creaking sound coming from my chest when I'm laying down. So weird!
