make sure you contact your surgeon...have you been tested for H Pylori?

Welcome guys how are your nerves? Lol I start feeling happy,sad then overly excited. Today I realized I only have 2 more days before I go to the pre-op diet. Ive been so emtional.......its been crazy for me.

My surgery is Novemeber 19th in Knoxville,TN Dr. Stephen Boyce. I wanted to get a head count of tbe people that have the same surgery date.

congrats!

Thank you all for the replies to my question' date=' I really appreciate it. So my diet is good then. I have had no fats or carbs just 1 boiled egg every other day, just sugar free fluids and 1 or two Protein shakes a day. I am feeling weak and a very bad attitude. So far... I've been called into my bosses office twice in four days! Lmao! I do work with cupcakes thou.

Xoxoxo to all of you guys & gals.[/quote']

I agree with Gamegirl....stick to what your doctor has ordered. Its not worth the risk

weight loss

I had a class yesterday that went over all the things to look for that are not normal, and the things that are normal. I am with Gomekast you need to go to the ER. Or call the Physician on call at your surgeons office,. I would bet that you are dehydrated! You shouldn't be so weak that you cant stand and your not able to hold things down you need to be seen. I was told as well, that if you are eating the things you are suppose to and you are throwing up.....seek medical attention. Throwing up foods that you can have is not a good thing. I have seen on here that some people say oh its normal....well my surgeon said NO its not normal to throw up foods you should be able to tolerate. I am not sleeved yet but I to cant have Protein until weeks 3/4

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get sleeved on November 19th. I wish it would hurry up and get here already, I'm so tired of waiting

Awesome advice......... Thank you

If you want to start something early try 3 shakes during the day (breakfast , lunch , snack) then a low carb dinner (about 400 cals) that will keep you under 1 k and should help you lose weight ..

The nurse called and today to switch my date to a week later. I guess the doctor decided he wanted to take a vacation the week of my surgery. I am now Nov 19...

Now we share the same date

i have the same fear.....So i have started early taking care of my skin. I use the palmers stretch mark massage oil and the lotion. I also exfoliate really good! I use firming lotions and doing skin firming treatments plus ive already started toning everything. I have surgery Novemeber 19th I have about 90lbs to get to my ideal weight i have a thick mid section so I fear that will be my most problem area. Start taking care of your skin now.......Firm , firm, firm now

praying for you hun

try using unflavored proteiin, sprinkle it on your food and etc. try Protein Shots. switch Protein Drinks

Scheduled for NOV 19th....

mine requires you to quit smoking as well atleast a month in advance.....

I had to quit smoking or they wouldn't even look at me...I've been smoke free since June 15th & my surgery is Nov 19th...I was blood tested twice for nicotine...so you can't even use the patch or e-cigs..no nicotine....something to do with blood clots...its bad for you anyways & expensive...I smoked for 43 years...And yes to no soda either...carbonation will stretch your belly..Good Luck

finally someone that has the same surgery date as me......!!!!!!! yay

i havent had my surgery yet but i have heard people say Isopure is a good one I also have read good reviews about Bariatric Choice having good reviews on their Protein shakes as well. I personally like the Bariatric Choice shakes from Bariatric choice. I enjoy the strawberry ones. But whos to say what will happen after surgery. Alot of people use the whey Protein by body fortress.

I have UHC, weight 204, BMI 35 submitted got approval in 7 days. I had to have medical necessity from primary care dr. 6 months supervised diet, phych eval, nutritional eval. Because my bmi was 35 I had to have co morbids. I have sleep apnea, borderline diabetic and family history played a huge part.

Prayers being sent up for you, you will do great! Second chance at a new life tomorrow. God bless you friend

This is the best thread yet! I have had all these thoughts and have even told myself Erica you wont cheat when deep down I know I will slip up from time to time. I haven't even had my surgery and yet the thoughts of eating what I clearly am not allowed to have makes me feel like a cheater. But I will stand accountable for my thoughts. This thread opens the eyes to the ones that haven't had their surgery yet and shows us all people struggle no matter what the cause. I wish all the struggles would leave us all but God has a strange sense of humor sometimes....lol! I hope I can avoid the cravings......but if not I to will come to this thread and confess!!! this should have been named Confession Room
