You look awesome! I hope you are wearing that shirt as a dress, it's so cute!!!

nothing will go wrong. This is one of the safest surgeries out there. You will pull through just fine!

Don't stress over it. Look on the bright side you are almost there. I did purchased jello and Popsicle for post op and ended up not liking them because they were just to sweet. Glad my daughter ate the Popsicle, the jello was a different story. The gave me a jello while in in recovery and I wanted nothing to do with it. My daughter ended up eating some of the jello and took some to school for her friends. In the end I ended tossing the rest. So just take in to consideration that your taste buds will change. To date 2 months out and I still hate everything that is sweet. I drink my protein shakes just to reach my protein goals. Wishing you the best!

I had no specifications but I also didn't even have a liquid pre-op diet! Lol.......... My pre-op diet was packaged food that I purchased from my office.

Thank you, catwoman7 and brittanyatwalsh. I appreciate the encouragement and advice to walk!

I will be having gastric bypass on July 3. I started my program in Feb 2019, but have battled weight issues my whole life. I am excited and anxious about my upcoming date. I cannot imagine weighing less than I do now. At 42 years old, I've been morbidly obese my entire adult life and obese my entire life. So many thoughts run through my head about this surgery, but I tell myself to take it one baby step at a time. My program only requires 2 days liquid diet, so I don't even start that til July 1. Would love to keep in contact with you and our other July siblings [emoji16] Good luck to all of us! Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

No I haven't been on any iron besides what's in my multivitamin. However, for about 8 years (before surgery) I was anemic and was on high doses of iron. I had been off of the iron for about 1 year before surgery. I already deal with chronic constipation so no don't want to make it worse by taking iron!

I make peanut butter protein fudge. 1/2 cup margarine/butter, 1/2 cup peanut butter, 10 sweetner (Splenda or Truvia) packets and 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder.

Must be your device. It's working perfectly here: audio and video.

Red and orange are usually a “no-no” because if you vomit, or they’re observing your insides, they don’t want to be thinking it’s blood. Which is why, if you notice, hospitals usually only have green or yellow Jello. Even though they didn’t specify, I’d avoid red stuff anyway just to be nice and to avoid any possible/additional unnecessary testing/complications.
