I'm pre op for a few more days. I can have only decaf. It tastes nothing like coffee.. It doesn't even smell remotely the same when i open the container.

I have a list of proteins, and those two are on the list. I've been writing down a lot of stuff from the forums here and from chat. I wish i found this place before i bought protein, lol.

So..a woman at my mother's job had samples for me to try months ago. They were fine with milk... But with water and food? Disgusting. I have a tub of vanilla & cinnamon bun.(Mixed together because it looked like i have less to take this way, lol) I put it in a small glass now and hold my nose, trying to choke it down. If i don't take it, i'm out $30. I'm waiting on unflavored UNJURY to come in, for my clear liquid stage next week. 5 more days until surgery.

This is going to be awesomely embarrassing for most of us, yay. I hear you can't wear undies in the hospital because of the band interfering with the surgical site. I don't know if that's true for everyone. I see my surgeon tomorrow for a briefing before my surgery...how the hell am i going to bring this up? "....Soooo, uh, Doc. I'm going to be menstruating on the day of surgery..can i wear underwear?" Lol

Anyhow... I think my scale is off. It says ive lost like 15lbs since i started the liquid diet. I've lost 30 since i started this whole testing for the surgery thing. Sooo...45lbs in a yearish? Surgeon tomorrow so i guess i can find out. This diet has me totally drained. No energy. I have no idea why i'm up now.

Nausea Pops 3 cups strawberries, hulled & quartered 2 bananas, sliced 1 cup blueberries 1 cup apple juice 1 cup Greek yogurt, vanilla 2 Tbsp. honey 1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger 1. Wash and chop fruit and add to blender. 2. Add remaining ingredients to blender and blend on high until smooth. 3. Fresh ginger is more potent and works best but substitute powdered if it's all you have. 4. Pour into popsicle molds/paper cups with pop sticks or whatever works. 5. Freeze, enjoy and feel better!

My surgery is in 7 days, i want to make all this food and put it in my freezer for later! lol

I was in the clear and then someone in my surgeons family died. Fate hates me, lol.

Yup, shark week starts on the day of my surgery. Woohoo. I seriously doubt that's happening with all the worry and stress i'm putting myself through. Anyone have this come up during your hospital stay?

Two weeks. (On day 6 now) My diet is bullion, farina, low fat yogurt, watered down oatmeal, Jello, crystal light, diet decaf tea, decaf coffee and 2 Protein shakes daily.

I don't want to lose my boobs.

I know this thread is a little stale but you gals have me so worried about what will happen to my boobs. Makes me rethink getting the surgery.

Anyone have a problem with skin sag after surgery? I hear the older you are, the worse it is. I'm 31, but i'm 300lbs...i'm pretty sure there's going to be a fair amount of sag. I guess all my fears are coming up because the date is so close. I've had a nightmare where i ate actual food and screwed up the liquid diet. lol Also, how long were you in the hospital?

I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet. I am so tired. I sleep a ton, i can't stand it.
