I belong to a monthly support group and one of the women who is currently 5 months out, says she eats her 2 oz of protein and is usually full. She ALWAYS eats that first and then starts on a veggie. It was suggested by her nut that she buy a beautiful 6" plate and have every meal on it. That way she will retrain her brain as to portion size and she will start feeeling like she has cleaned her plate. She sets her phone to remind herself to eat regularly because she has little to no appetite.. Good luck. Ainslee

It is my understanding that no one will be released from the hospital without a leak test. So if not, don't take no for an answer. Ainslee

Hey Coy, my date is the 6th at 7:30 AM. You joined this group on my birthday and I am 61, my surgery will be in San francisco. No pre-op diet for me either. I am pretty much doing the things you are doing. I cut way back on carbs and fats. I do liquids all day Wednesday. I suggest making small isopure icecubes that you can pop in your mouth. Everyone says their mouth is so dry. I figure it will kill 3 birds with one stone. Sooth the dry mounth, get protein and you can chew it which will help satisfy the desire to chew. Good luck with the ride. If all else fails, how about a cab? Not that I would want to do that either. I prefer a friends support and love. Ainslee

someone in my support group had post op gall bladder pain and the doc said it was from too much fat. She went back on the strict diet again, until she was better. And closely monitors her fats. I would guess it is the same with sugars. Good luck,

I think, WOW, you look awesome. Congratulations. Inspiring for me 75#, 84#, in 6 months. I can't wait with a date of Nov. 27.
