Hahaha, agree! I've also done this and could get through Breakfast fine, lunch wouldn't be too bad, but dinner is soooo hard.

I was having sleep for dinner to hurry into the morning [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I’m scheduled for the 22nd, but now my surgeon has decided he wants an endoscopy first and that dr can’t get me in before that. I’m going to have to hope for a cancellation to be able to keep my surgery date. I hate all this not knowing!

Mixed feelings here as well! I’m trying not to think about the actual surgery or I may panic. But I’m excited overall.

My pre-op appt is less than a week before my surgery. I won’t know about Vitamins or anything until then. Kinda annoyed because I’m a planner! I know I’ll be on full liquids by day 4 but I want a list so I can have a few things on hand. Oh well, trying to be patient.

Leigh - Did you decide for NF or for Shands? I have my RNY with Dr. Friedman at Shands on Jan 2.

[Leigh W 22]

Simone...I went with NF. I’m self pay and Shands wouldn’t even return my calls! I’m so happy with NF. I’m seeing Dr. Rose.

Me too. I need to be regular and drinking and not eating made me so constipated that I needed a laxative. I don't like that feeling. Is Constipation a issue with this surgery?

I have tried doing the pre op diet several times, though not completely if that makes sense? I initially started the diet as a way of getting used to the way I would have to be eating prior to the surgery and after since the diets are very similar. Basically what my nutritionist wanted me to do was do the vlcd for two weeks at a time and then go back to just a normal low calorie diet. Each and every time I had trouble with bowel movements, particularly with Constipation. It seems like I will have to grab some sort of medicine to help with that as well since it's already starting with the latest run of the pre op diet. :/

They instructed me to take some over the counter meds, but things may be different here in Finland as far as what kinds of drugs are available for Constipation. All I know is what I have at the moment tastes putrid, but I'll drink it if I have to, lol.

Doctors in the US and Canada push Milk of Magnesia like it was the Golden Grail. My particular Primary care loves to advise Miralax that and prednisone, a wonder I haven't developed Bushings from it.

Mine is January 7th @ 11am. I'm so excited but starting to get nervous!
