Hey everyone!im 4 days post op,finally feeling a bit better...nausea calmed down a bit so I'm feeling better....im such a worry-wart so I have some questions I need some help with (some I know the answers to,but just need some reassurance) -everything tastes the same,very metallic!i know people said this is common but does it last long? -difficult time getting in all my Protein...drinking Isopure but iv been so nauseous iv only been able to get half the bottle down a day....any suggestions? -I have a gritty feeling on my teeth and roof of my mouth...yes I brush my teeth daily lol!but I have this really weird film on the inside of my teeth,anyone ever experience this? I have been walking,walking,walking but find I often get these sharp pains that last about 4 seconds at a time,gas pain?? I also feel grumbling in my tummy,can't tell weather I'm hungry or it's just some gas pains I worry way to much I know haha,but if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated,thank you!!

Thank you!!

My pre-op diet started the 11th and I know exactly how you feel.all I thought was what if I didn't get it all in?i was eating more then I ever did the couple of days before I started. Im not going to sit here and tell you it will be ok and time will fly by!it was a long 2 weeks for me,some days really were rough.mentally I was going nuts!i found that when I kept busy I wasnt thinking about all the food I couldnt eat.i picked up hobbies and cleaned nonstop lol!after the first week your so excited that all your focus is on the surgery! You can do it,it's hard but you'll be ok.keep busy,take it day by day and blend your shakes with ice to make a smoothie...it will fill you up more! Goodluck!!!!!!just keep your eye on the prize

Omg the day is finally here!i go in tmrw at 10am for my surgery!!!iv waited 9 long months for this day....I'm so excited/nervous.i just had a bottle of magnesium citrate and oh lord does that stuff work....anyone else going in tmrw?!

Take it day by day,it doesn't seem to difficult at first but some days it can be really challenging....at least for me it was and I get the surgery in 2 days!:)biggest tip I have is sometimes it's great to put the shake in the blender and throw in some ice....blend it and it's very good!plus it fills you up more,and takes longer to drink.goodluck!

I understand what your going through,I'm coming to an end of my 2 week liquid diet and a friend of mine asked if I have lost any weight from the pre-op diet...I said yes,8 pounds in 9 days and their response was "why did you resort to a surgery then if your doing just fine on your liquid diet?!" I wanted to be like UH HELLO!who are you?!weird as it sounds I know it was coming from a good place.i feel like everyone thinks I'm taking the easy way out....so far from it.its a frustrating feeling but just gotta remember your doing it for yourself,your health and your happiness:)

Wow thanks!you made my night:)I was so worried lol!you made me feel 100% better:)
