Thanks everyone. So basically none of you snack? I have 3 meals a day (BLD) but sometimes I need something around 3 or I feel sick or kinda empty. Does anyone of you feel this way? I also need something sweet later in the evening. One cube of dark choc does it - is this bad? Also does anyone have any sort of carbs?

Hi, I will be 3 months out on the 25th and I am at a stall going up and down the same 2-3 lbs for a while now. I try to focus on protein first but I do have a bite of this and that that have carbs in it. What is everyone eating? Should we be eating everything? I'm confused with the little amount of food that I eat that I should be losing a ton. Help!!!

Can anyone recommend a protein soup other than Unjury Chicken Soup that is good?

The Unjury chicken soup is awesome. so u r still on liquids on Day 10?

I had an abdominal ultrasound as one of my pre-op requirements. I was told it was to see the size of the liver, gallbladder for stones and kidneys. I have my surgery on the 25th and started my pre-op liquid today. So far so good. Not saying that I didn't want the pork chops and rice I cooked for my family today, but I just stayed in the family room while they ate. Day 1 down - 13 to go!

laura-ven, you seem to know alot and I will def look to you for answers. my surgery is on the 25th. starting pre-op monday. any words of wisdom for while i'm in hospital and what to expect? i am a person who seems to want to know everything so i am not surprised...............

That's awesome! Congrats! anyone have recommendations on what to eat for puree phase? I cant stand the thought of pureeing any type of chicken/meat.

My is the 25th too! Super Nervous yet Super Excited!

That is awesome! Congrats! I am DREAMING of when I am in ONEDERLAND! Surgery on 25th and Im counting the days......... You should be so proud of yourself!

Thanks all for your reply. I will call them but am too scared to find out. I'm just praying a lot. I am sooo close.......

Outrigger. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Did they call u with results or is it no news is good news?

Thanks. I know they can't say anything but I just got that feeling it's not good.

So I met with my surgeon today to finalize paperwork for surgery on 25 th. I had to get an ultrasound as my last requirement and I did and I'm really nervous becuz the tech took a ton of pix of my kidneys. I asked him if all was ok and he just said the radiologist wud read it and send it to my surgeon. Am I paranoid? What if they found something? I have high BP and maybe it was something...... Ugh I don't know I'm just really depressed until I get those results. Anyone else go thru this?

WOW, John Latte, THANK YOU! I will be making my pre-admission testing appointments TODAY! I'm not going to lie and tell you that I am not terrified of the unknown. I think once it's over, I will be able to breathe. Until then, I know I will be a bundle of nerves. How did your surgery go?

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I change my mind at least twice a day and then I do the same thing - thinking another summer of not being able to do things with my family. Looking like this!
