Good luck! Check in for me is at 8!

Well tomorrow is my surgery. Woke up this morning very nervous! Held my husband tight and cried. Told him I was nervous. He said he was as well. I know I am doing the right thing it is just the fear of the unknown! The fear of being the 1% that something may go wrong. But I am a firm believer in thy will be done and have left it up to the hands of God. I wish my fellow Dec 9th sleevers good luck and a speedy recovery! Carrie

I got them and I have two left. I tried the mango peach but it was super sweet and I got sick from it. My sister said you have to really water them down!

This is said to say but it took me 9 days to realize the reason I was so sick was b/c I am allergic to whey. Now I drink egg white protein shakes and I feel human again!

Yes I will have to have lovenox injections after surgery.

I am December 9th as well. I am on day 10 of preop diet of protein shakes, water, broth and tea. Having a very difficult time because just figured out I am allergic to whey! On egg white protein shakes now so doing a little better. Only four more days until surgery!

I have surgery on the 9th. My doctor's goal is 100 lbs. Mine is 110.

Good luck to all the December 3rd sleevers today! My thoughts and prayers are with you! Wishing you a pain free day and weeks to come! Dec 2nd sleevers hope you have a wonderful 1st full day of your new life!

Okay did all the pre admission testing this morning! Starting to become a reality! 8th day of pre op diet almost over-6 more days!!

Have pre-admission testing tomorrow morning at 6:30AM! Hopefully, I will get to work on time. Have to be there by 8:15!

I am using lactaid free milk and a whey isolate. I guess I will call doc on Monday because after I drink them I get some nausea. Have been taking Zofran for the nausea.

Not to be tmi but when I go it is loose.

Day 5 of preop diet! Made it through Thanksgiving with chicken broth and a little bit of turkey in it. Doc said I could! Just having some tummy issues. Anyone else? Is it normal?

I actually had diarrhea last night and I never drank the third shake yesterday. I just went to bed and slept twelve hours. I am a preschool teacher and I have 5 year old twin boys so I don't stop all day so I think it just caught up to me!

I am on Day 3 of pre-op diet and I am wiped out. My surgery is the 9th. 11 more days of three protein shakes and water a day!

Does anyone know of good cream soups to buy or recipe to make?

Day One of pre-op diet. I was okay until I got home and had to make my five-year-old twins dinner! Ahhh! Need to stay focused!

Thanks everyone! I forgot about the food scale. I will pick one up. I do have the magic bullet I just bought it. It was on sale at bed, bath and beyond and I had a twenty percent coupon! I did make a list of hospital stuff. Should I bring the heating pad to the hospital? Did anyone else? Great job on day one of the pre op dieters. I will be there on Monday!

Ok guys I am kind of stressing out. I have stuff for the preop diet-I have protein shake mix that I will mix with fat free milk. For the day before surgery I have syntax flavored stuff to mix with water. For after surgery, I have unjury powder that I can add into anything. I have the chicken broth with protein and the sugar free jello with protein. What else do I need? So stressed!!!

My two week pre-op diet starts on Monday! I am from Jersey as well. My surgeon is Dr. Fetehia. I think he is in the same office as Dr. Forester. Nervous about the liquid diet but will do it. Only bad thing is I will only be on shakes for Thanksgiving and I haven't told my very judge mental in-laws about the surgery yet. So I plan on telling them that I do not want to hear anything negative. To keep their negativity to themselves! Carrie

Thanks for the info. It does say clear liquids the day before surgery so I am hoping that the website doesn't apply to me!

For pre-op diet I can have 3 to 5 protein shakes a day, only 700-900 calories, 64-96 oz of water. Idk what the 700-900 calories are suppose to be? Maybe just the protein shakes. I see surgeon the second day of pre-op diet. I will ask about the 700-900 calories. Do any of you have to drink miralax the day before the surgery or something to clean you out? I read it on the website. Nothing about it on paperwork. I hope not!!

My husband is scared of the surgery and he thinks that I am taking the "easy way out". I tried to take him to a seminar he wouldn't go and I told him it was not the easy way out but..

December 9th is my date. I canceled my first surgery date in August due to an unsupportive husband and that has not changed but I have! I am super excited to start my new life! I start my preop diet on Nov. 25th so no Thanksgiving for me but I am not upset about that. It is about being thankful and not about the food! I have to get use to saying that.

Hi. I was suppose to have surgery on Aug 4th but I canceled it because my husband wasn't supportive. He still is not supportive so I decide to do it anyway! I got my date and it is Dec 9th!! I am so excited! Carrie Hyman-who has decide to take my life back!
