  11. Hi. I have a therapist to help me work through these pre op issues and provide general support. My surgery is in ten days! I'm nervous.
  12. Congrats!! Do you have a trader joes or a whole foods near you?? They have amazing options!!
  13. I start the pre op full liquids diet tomorrow. I'm nervous about it. My fridge is stocked with Jello, broth, Popsicles, Protein shakes, weight loss shakes, carnation instant Breakfast drink mix, cream of wheat cereal! It's crazy!
  14. Hi! I have surgery the day after you. I start my pre op diet tomorrow. I have to have meal replacement shakes as well as that other stuff you are currently having. Can you ask about that? Might fill you a bit more?? Much luck. You can do it!
  15. Try meal replacement shakes. My dietician said to make sure I'm actually getting some calories or nutrients! Not sure you are getting enough calories. I went to Costco it was 28 dollars for 30 or so shakes! Yum
  16. Maybe gargle with some warm salt water?!
  17. Yes I have heard that those shots are not all they are cracked up to be...meaning sources of protein our bodies can't process. I might be the only one but I like the rtd Isopure alpine punch drinks. They have 160 calories and 40g of protein. If you don't like the sweet just cut it with water. Taste like crystal light.
  18. I applaud you and you can do it!! Please please do not eat toast!!! No leak no leak!
  19. Just purchased one! Surgery 13 days!!
  20. Simethescone or something like that is the main ingredient.

  23. I swear they took so much blood that taped the vein dry! She had to go to another one!

  25. I had a positive H pylori blood test and then did a confirmation stool test three days later that was negative so don't give up! I also have UHC (medica) and I was submitted on a Tuesday and approved the next day!
