@@countryrose Hi! So you have 2 apps prior to your surgery? Do you have to do a liquid diet? I've been told 10 days for our practice. I'm hoping I won't have to do it that long! Uggggh! Couple weeks for you! I wish you tons of luck! Where are you located?

I'm from Iowa, near Des Moines. I only had 3 weight checks, a pulmonary function test, psych eval, and then the customary pre op labs. My surgeon doesn't require a pre op diet (YES!!!) and I'm so thankful for that. It's coming up so quick!

Hello to you in Iowa! You are one of he very few who got this lucky to not have the liquid diet. A friend of mine didn't have to either. I'm a bit jealous lol. I had 5 months of tons of testing including gyne, stress test, endoscopy, labs, EKG, echocardiogram, sleep study 2 of them! It was crazy all I had to do. Glad that's all over. I have a broken foot so I couldn't do my stress test on a treadmill so they injected this stimulant into an iv and omg it was awful. It raced my heart gave me an instant headache made me sweaty and made me nauseous! Never again!

@@claddagh66 I know when I saw the scale I didn't believe it haha. Motivates me definitely. I am fine energy wise now it honestly isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I've cooked for my family and had no issues not eating it I find Mio the Water flavoring helps alot so I don't get bored with water also eating ice so I can chew something and sugarless gum between those 3 things I feel like they saved me lol from strictly shakes and water for 3 weeks. I started taking my multi vit and hair skin and nails so maybe helping energy wise and I have an active niece that lives with me so I make sure to promise her a walk every morning she never forgets and never gives up until I get off my butt so we walk 30 mins every day just around town. I certainly do have Facebook add me Taren Matthew

I'm proud of you for doing so well and having such a positive attitude with it all! 3 weeks is a long time to do this. So cool your niece is so active with you. That will help you sooo much! And now that the weather is getting nicer sure will help. I know what you mean about trying different things like the gum or mio to add to the shakes. Can you also have tea? Warm tea would be a nice way to feel full (so to speak) I will definitely friend you! This will be great!????

4/5! So excited due to my BMI being under 50 I only have to do a 2 day liquid diet before surgery; however, I followed my wife's two week high Protein, low calorie diet before her surgery and I have dropped about 35 lbs. since Dec. 2015.

I am from Sacramento, CA. My surgery date of April 19th just got pushed back to April 25th. I'd rather had it moved up, but I'm still good to go in April. No more setbacks!
