I believe that this is what I take for neuropathy and I didn't have to stop taking it.

I feel the same way about July 30th.

That's the day of my bowel prep, fun fun

Cool we don't have much longer to wait do we?

I don't know why, but I have felt hungry off and on all day today. I wish that I could figure out why I have felt this way, I got disappointed twice today, and I've felt anxious and jittery this evening. I tried to lay down and rest but didn't have any luck at all, its like all my senses are on high alert. I went for a short walk as fast as I could and it calmed me a little bit, maybe its just energy that I'm not used to having, lol, I really don't know. I only have six days to go until my big day. Maybe that's it, a little case of the nerves, but it will pass.

May I ask what kind of problems you are having? I've had my concerns about having it because I have bad acid reflux, I take 2 40mg Nexium a day. I just want to make sure that I'm getting the right surgery.

My big day is the 30th as well so add me as a friend and we can. Lift up and support and encourage each other. I am having my surgery done at Centennial Women's Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. My surgeons name is Dr. David Dyer and he is a wonderful man with a great bedside manner, I really like him.

Has anyone tried making their protein into a milk shake consistency and adding some Splenda? That's what I've been doing and I really like the taste of it. Just wanted to share my idea.

I totally agree with you.

The closest thing that I'm getting to a chewable food is sf Popsicles and I know how feels to be hungry, but I just keep talking to myself and telling myself that this feeling won't last forever. I heard that a lot of times when we think that we r hungry that we r really thirsty so maybe drinking more fluids will help u to feel full, It might sound silly but it works for me.

I cmnt imagine a 4 week liquid diet, I'm having to do one for 2weeks and I thought that was bad, but I don't have any reason to complain. You can do it just hang in there and remember why you are doing this when it gets hard.

Today has been better than yesterday, I haven't felt hungry today so I didn't eat and slept up until 11 or 12. when I did get up I had a pretty bad headache so I made me a protein shake and drank it but I still had a headache most of the day until I drank me some beef broth and that stopped it. Thank you Lord!!! I have had more bouts of energy too, maybe its not eating all the bad junk I used too. One day and one step closer to a healthier me.

Warm broth stopped my headache today, you have to force those fluids so u don't dehydrate

My big day is the 30th

You may not be eating enough that will cause a headache so try to force ur fluids too.

I am new here as we'll and my surgery date is July 30th. I started my liquid diet today and with the Lords help I made it through. I was tempted so many times to eat just one little thing but I knew that would only lead to more and more. I am having my surgery done at Centennial women's Hospital by Dr. Dyer and I really have a lot of confidence in him. I've been hoping to find a surgery buddy so that we can encourage and help each other through our journeys together, so if your interested please add me.

Today was the first day of my liquid diet, and I also had to go babysit in a home where there were sweets everywhere, it was hard but with the Lords help I made it. So I have one day down and only 12 more to go and then 1 day of clear liquids and a bowel prep then my Big Day!!! I have waited so long to be comfortable with my decision and I am so excited about my healthy future. :wub:

I to need support and positive feed back because with out it It will be very hard for me. I've bee looking for a surgery buddy for July 30 but have yet to find one.

My date is the 30th as well. I went today for the pre op class and got pre registered, so I'm all set up and ready to go. I have been very excited today and now I'm just very tired from a very busy day. I feel bed time coming early tonite.
