I will be off and on this diet all day but going yo bed today at 8:00 am to get so good night sleep as suggested by my surgsery team .

Hi I agree with all of the above statements you must stay focus if you want to be successful with your new tool, your pre surgery diet sounds great to me all I have been allowed is protein shakes sugarfree Popsicles and puffing this is my last day and it's just clear liquids and no protein and tomorrow is surgery good luck I can say each day on the liquid diet gets better.

Hi my May buddies I have 24 more hours and it's surgery time, I'm so excited I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight I have been waiting for this for so long what is everyone else doing to stay busy any last minute suggestions ?

Niasia33 thanks and you too I can't wait to read everyone progress

Thanks everyone my doctor says no binder for me but I mushing through this liquid diet, 4 more days and counting. Anyone decided how long they are taking off work?

I am do to have my surgery Monday I am taking only two weeks off and I will be back at work, I am hoping that I have a easy recovery without nay complications , I have seen most doctors offer just two weeks off because by the you will have your first appointment. but everyones program is different. Good luck to everyone.

Congrats and wow that was quick and even nicer you have a surgery date so quickly, I was approve d in 24 hours and had to do a 6 month weight management and have to wait an additional 4 months to get a surgery date , I am on the preopt liquid diet now and I am having surgery Monday. So I am doing the count down with you lol.

Hi and congrats on your choice to be healthy, this is an exciting time for you this forum is an excellent place to gain knowledge and to meet new friends as well as vent share ideas as well as progress. Good luck I have my surgery in three days so I know exactly how you feel.

Im glad to hear that everyone is doing great and recovery so well I am on day 3 of my pre liquid diet and surgery is Monday, 5 more days until I join you all. Yippie.

Congrats to you all on your choice to be healthy.

I think you are right to meet with another surgeon, it sounds like your first doctor is not listening to you, I would meet with the second surgeon and discuss why I want the bypass and see if he agrees, I would do what my heart tells me you are the only one that has to live with your choice. Good luck.

HI I am 3 days on my liquid diet as well and have had a headache for 3 days i was told to take tylenol and its normal your body is detoxing from all of the food that was stored in it.

Lol I know the pre surgery diet is hard but stay focus do one day at a time I'm on day 3 and I'm not hungry but I think it's a mind thing that I want to eat, crunch on a sugar free Popsicle if your craving something sweet or just need to chew on something, who would have thought I could manage on less than 500 calories a day without bring hungry , I drink two premiere protein shakes a cup of chicken broth one sugarfree puffing and I sugarfree Popsicle if I need to chew. Good luck my friends I can't wait until Monday then it's show time ,

Jtickle I am sorry that your friends are taking their frustration out on you, please take one day at a time you are bless to have a low out of pocket expense and making the choice to be healthy is a good choice, I have been on my journal since August of last year and had to wait 5 months just to get a surgery date when my 6 months were up I have surgery Monday and it seems like a lifetime , your day will come faster than you think, you have friends here, please add me we can talk anytime Good luck my friend and your husbands right by the way .

Just stay focus give yourself credit 1 pound beats zero pounds you can do this and congrats on your choice to be healthy I have my procedure Monday and I smile on the liquid diet. I look forward to reading your post good luck .
