I am so excited. Surgery is tomorrow AT 9AM. Wow! I can not believe it. Trying to stay focused on my liquid diet today, and packing fot the Hosp stay. I have 4 kids as well, so have been trying to pack their bags for an overnight at my sisters. And I want to get to the Gym for one last session as it may be a bit before I can go again. Will post more once I am home from surgery!! Yah!!! Here we go. Heather

MotherMary, Whoever said the Protein Drinks make more nausea gas cramps was right. I was banded a day before you and just today I am starting to feel ok with the Protein drinks.Anything milky is kind of yuck. Just take it slow till youre ready. I did do some protein waters to get some protein in without the milkiness...good luck! Cali

JB, So you've already made and saved one on ticker.com? OK, then go up to the top and click the "User CP" tab and choose my signature from the drop down. Then you have to paste that weird code thing into your box and save...good luck! Cali

Hey Cali,

Happy to hear you're feeling better. I was starting to think I was the only one with nausea and not able to tolerate the Protein drinks. Every says how good they feel right after. Each day is getting easier, but it's slow.

Mary

surgery in 11 hrs, 19 minutes. all should be well. cheated a wee bit on the pre-op liquids, but I've dropped 20lbs in 6 days... feeling like hell-- dietician told me today i could do 4oz chicken breast... i added a slice of low fat provolone... and i took a bite of a cheeseburger on day 2. wife (who goes 115 soaking wet with boots on) was eating it, and i had to liberate a bite... full well knowing Buns may not be in the cards for me again... and getting dizzy as i drove...

good luck to everyone else coming up soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
