I am on day 9. I am having the same issue. I am gassy, but nothing else. I added some Miralax to my water twice still nothing! I have an appt with my surgeon tomorrow and can't wait to ask him. I am really trying to up my water intake.

I am laughing out loud!

I am on day 9 pre-op! I have my anesthesiologist appointment today. I can't wait to hear what they have to say. I have to say each morning I wake up the pre-op diet gets easier and easier, minus my dreams about food. It is like a good night sleep and a fresh start to the day really helps.

I don't think that is correct. There are lower bmi's that have had longer preops and some with higer bmi's with shorter preop. I think it is ur surgeons preference. Sent from my iPod touch using VST

I am on 2 glucernas a day and still in ketosis. I am in taking so little carbs I dont think it's an issue. I am limited to 2. Sent from my iPod touch using VST

I would take some beef jerky right about now!

I know I almost cried typing it..............

I had a Argentinean pepper steak with a side of fresh tomatoes,blue cheese, red onion, cracked pepper and olive oil. I had a few bites of my husband au grating potatoes. It is my favorite french restaurant La Brasserie here in Bogota! Me encanta. The next day I had my favorite salad from my favorite from Osaki. It has mozzarella cheese, sun dried tomatoes, egg plant and squash. I also had a few pieces of sushi. The final day was from my favorite Italian place DeLucca's. I had a bit of lasagna, spinach stuffed ravioli, and fettuccine alfredo with chicken and broccoli. We each ordered a plate so I was able to have a bit of each. The one think I must say about Bogota, Colombia. I LOVE THE RESTAURANTS! I do not miss chain dining one bit. The food is so fresh and delicious. I will miss that about Bogota. So that was my weekend preop. I only gained a pound because I kept it in perspective.

Day 8 for me! It is hard. I dreamed of food last night!!!! The thing is I am not hungry, but I miss chewing. I chew gum, not the same. Surgery next Monday. I just pray I can get through this week as successful as I did last week!

Hahahaha. Butterthebean-i have never seen u speechless on the boards lol!

Day 8 of my PRE-OP. I can see light at the end of the tunnel. It is not easy, but it is a testament of whats to come.

I was more worried about the swallowning. My hubs has never complained about the seal not being tight

All I can say is it does get better I am on day 7 and have 7 more hang in there. Normally it is to help shrink liver to help limit complications during surgery. Sent from my iPod touch using VST

The 1st four days I was so bloated and miserable. I could hardly get all my liquids because of it. I am much better still gassy! I am on day 7 and am much much better! I am not really hungry and able to get all liquids in. Good luck it does get better. I do find myself thinking of the extreme measures I have to take and it makes me sad a times.

Yes the first few days I was so bloated and miserable! I am on day 7 and it is much better. I am still gassy :-)!!! I have been trying to get my Water in as I think that helps with some of the other feelings. Sent from my iPod touch using VST

They didn't give you one?

all i can say is "WOW" totally extreme and unnecessary.

Thanks for the count Susan! There are 17 of us on 10/1!

Nope, I wouldn't say a word. I have friends that have had surgery and I don't talk to them about it. One specifically because she lied so bad about it and that was an unsolicited lie. I think if she would have wanted you to know she would have told you.

There are several people being sleeved 10/1!!!! I am so ready.

I have not had surgery and my doctor told me 1 month after I could begin working out. Only walking until a month out. I am sure it will depend on how I am doing and feeling at that month mark. It is only 2 more weeks. Have you added any light weights for upper body during your walk? Maybe that would vary it up.

Good point. I am sure it is not advisable early on. Not really a question I wanted to ask my doctor :ph34r:

Day 7 of Pre-OP. The ketosis breath is getting to me. I brushed 5x yesterday HA! I am so not hungry and it really is a very weird feeling. This time next week I will be packing my bag. It seems a bit surreal that it finally here. All the prepping and doctor's appts. I am a bag of emotions, but I think I am keeping it in check. My husband says I am doing very well. He appreciates that I have put myself in check. I honestly anticipated being moodier. I prepared myself. I do have to note, he is following PRE-Op with me. He is eating the soups for lunch and dinner. His breakfast and snacks vary because he is still working out. He has lost 5lbs.

We are all starting out around the same weight! It is gonna be quite the ride. I have to say I am pretty surprised by pre-op. I am not hungry. But ketosis mouth has be a bit disturbed HAHA.

Come on over to the October group! There are so many of us. Good luck to you!
