Thanks everyone for your help. I think I will go back to basics and follow the "list" and make an appointment to see my surgeon. I really do not want another surgery. After my surgery I was easily able to drink my shakes and I had no problems at all. After a short time I was able to eat anything. I was able to eat about a cup at a time.

I am concerned because I can almost the same as before my surgery and I want to know if I can reduce my stomach size or should I consider gastric bypass? I really do not want to do that.

Thanks for all of the comments! I feel better now. I'm a student and classes begin on the 7th so I am goingt o miss a week of classes but my daughter is going to try to go to classes for me. I just need enough strength to get my butt in my seat and study! I hope all goes smooth.

My surgery is Jan. 14 and I have to return to school on Jan. 21! I am determined to do this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for all of the ideas! Where do you buy your broth and other powders at? I have been buying protein powdes at Walmart. Also I am going to college and classes begin Jan. 7th and my surgery date is Jan. 14th. I am only taking that week off from school. I only have one class a day except on Wednesday! I am determined!

My surgery date is Jan. 14th. I am nervous also. I am also open to suggestions to making the preop diet have a little variety.

Hi! I am going to have my srgery on January 14! I actually started the process about two years ago and then my insurance ended their contract with the doctor and it was not until September that I could start again but the process has been pretty fast. Before I saw my doctor I lost 13 lbs. so I was at 337 and he said I need to lose 20 more befor surgery. AT my last weigh in I was at about 322 but with Christmas I think I may have gained a bit. I will weigh myself in a little bit to see. I start my twq weeks of liquid diet tomorrow so if anyone has any ideas about making it interesting I am all ears.
