My doctor says 60-80....how was your day? Did you feel more full today?

[joeyellen 3]

It was,better today then yesterday I'm getting used not eating I guess ,sometimes I think I will be sick when I try to eat ,almost like a gag reflex which is weird cause I only eat once a day

I was just telling someone that exact same thing so you are not alone!! I cannot eat anything. Only liquids and it's getting very hard to swallow. My gag reflex is really kicking in. Someone told me to chew ice so I am trying that. Glad to hear you are having a better day. Hang in there! It's all gonna be worth it in the end....Lucy

I'm on day 3 of my 14 day preop diet. I never realized how bad my gag reflux was till I tried to choke down Protein shake chicken broth! (Ick) im determined to stick to it....and chugged it down. The smell of Protein powder makes me nauseous at this point. I'm drinking as much Water as I can handle and that's been helping for sure. my biggest complaint other than that is just how weak my body feels...I'm getting 100gs of Protein daily from the shakes and light yogurt but get light headed and weak so easily.

Positive thoughts. It will all be worth it!

Congratulations on setting your date! I am getting mine done November 4th. There are sooo many emotions and thoughts. I keep having to remind myself of all the positives that are going to come.

Such an exciting time for you also!

Good luck with pre-op stuff!

My surgery is on Nov 4th as well

I've been on the pre op liquid diet for two days and I've lost 7 pounds! What the heck? I'm glad I'm a self pay and I don't have a minimum weight that I have to stay above!

I had a big loss right before I started the full liquids so haven't seen much movement yet. Looking forward to it tho!
