June 27th for me! I am on day 4 of my pre-op liquid diet

Good luck Biggi! You will be the first of us so when you get a chance can you come back and tell us how you did?

Glad there are a few of us here. I am a little nervous about what things are going to be like when I get home. Sounds like everyone is doing well on the pre-op diets. They are all a little different. I can only have Protein shakes, Soups and bars called Robard through my surgeons office. Its helping though.

Does everyone else here feel confident in what they are going to do when they get home? What have been your questions along the way?

BiggiSmalls - how did you do? I hope you see this!

Suzzz I'm nervous too. I'm dreaming weird dreams, a little hungry and there are bats in my stomach where butterflies used to be

Please anyone viewing come back and keep up with us in your June group so we can learn from each other.

Maggie- back to an earlier question you had about a plan when we get home. I live by myself and have friends lined up if I need help, but my plan is for a smooth recovery. sleep, sip, walk, repeat. I need to keep it simplistic while being fully aware of potential complications.

Jc - all will go well on Monday!

I started diet today, surgery is the 28th will have lap band of 2 years removed and sleeve done, wishing everyone great success

Well, mine was mid-June? I had mine on June 13th.

Everything went great. Though I will say I had more pain than I expected to. I don't know if that was just a /me/ thing, or if that was a 'people aren't fessing up to it' thing. But lots and lots of gas pain. Gas-X strips will be your best friends! And don't be surprised if some things give you pain at first. Like I was given ice chips, Water, gatorade, and apple juice after I passed my leak test. The apple juice was what I went for since over the course of the pre-op diet I was lacking flavor and really missed juice. However, my stomach did not agree. The moment it hit, and you can feel it, there was instant pain. The high sugar content was likely why. Gatorade did this too at first (it wasn't wasn't the G2). After about 12-16 hours I could drink the Gatorade, I still have to dilute the apple juice, though.
