Hi I live in lewisville. Had my surgery on sept I am in need of size 18. I can use some of yours. Thanks

Thanks!Yesterday, I tried the boxed mashed sweet potato's by Betty Crocker. It went down very smooth and they were pretty. I would prefer the fresh one, however, I was being lazy and used the boxed ones. It's worth the try, they were sweeter than I expected, but I thinned them out and used soy milk so it wasn't so bad. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I am not a big fan of energy drinks. I am taking B12. but still feel very tired. i was supposed to start mushy foods yesterday, but I cannot tolerate them at all. I am doing soups and protein shakes.

Hi, I dont drink energy drinks, not a big fan, but lately I have been feeling very tired at night time and somebody suggested to drink one once in a while. Is this good?? Does anybody drinks energy drinks?? Your comments are important.

thank u very much[

I need help- I was given the ok to eat mushy foods as long as I can tolerate them.- I have not idea to elaborate a menu since everything i have tried makes me run to the restroom and throw up. It feels weird and painful. I have been on broth and Protein Shakes. Can anybody give me an example of a daily menu on mushy foods. Please. Thanks! My surgery was on 9/7.

Hello there!! It is too late to join???? I would love to participate.

Hi, I am will start my mushies food stage on Wed. the Nut said I can eat mashes potatoes. I heard that sweet potatoes are better option. What about the sugar in it?? it is healthier to eat sweet mashed potatoes??

My nurse told me is ok to drink regular coffee.

so sorry to hear this. i feel better now. but ice cream is a NONO for now...

hello there.. i would not recommend it.. i am 7 days post op and tonight i had a taste of my son's ice cream... BIG MISTAKE. i have been throwing up for more than 15 minutes... it feels terrible.

Thank you wishes!!!

Hello there, I was sleeved yesterday 9/7. I am in a bit of pain, but the most part. I am doing ok. Having a lot of gas, but I am trying to walk as much as I can. Now trying to get my fluids in. since everytime i drink i get the most horrible pain.

My surgery will be on 9/7 - I started the pre op liquid diet last week. I was doing just fine until sunday when I ate. After this day, I have been eating only a night time and drink do the liquid diet in the morning. It was only Monday and today that I ate for dinner. I will start it again tomorrow since I am a week from my surgery. I feel very discouraged and frustrated because of this. Is this too terrible?? I am afraid that something will happen in the operation room. Please advise. Thanks!

mine is September 7th and I am freaking out too. I am doing the liquid diet and and doing my best, but i have not lost anything. not sure why. I am right there with you DallasMomof Twins. I am 11 days away. Not sure if I am excited or scared as heck

I did the 6 months diet and lost only 10 pounds. The Dr told me that if you fail the 6 month diet will not affect you because that what they are going to show insurance company that we failed doing the diet. I am rigth now on the pre op liquid diet. My surgery date is 9/7. Wish you guys luck!

good afternoon, I am having my surgery on 9/7 - I was put on a pre op diet for 2 weeks starting today. I am doing the Opti Fast 800 calorie diet (liquid). so far it has been ok. (i started it today LOL). My question is: I have been reading and some people did the pre op diet and some other don't. Is this really necessary? why some Doctors required and some other's dont?? Does it make a diference at the moment of surgery having done the diet and or not?? I have a lot of questions. Thanks for your help! Vanessa

what if PPI??

Thanks! I think it will be fine. I am little concerned because I have kiddos at home. but I will try to rest as much as I can.

Good morning, I am new to this forum. I will have my surgery on 9/7/2011 - I am super excited but nervous at the same time. I have requested time off from work. But My HR department asked me how many days i think I will be out on sick leave. I told them that I dependint on the Doctor's orders, probably it will be between 7 to10 days out. I was planning to go back to work on 9/26. Is this enough time?? i want to make sure I give them the reasonable time, but also, I want to make sure I feel well enough to work.
