What is a normal amount of time post op to be on only liquids? I thought it was everyone three weeks liquid, three puree? For the liquids, is slim fast acceptable? I don't know how you get Protein in without it. Is protein Water ok? I kind of feel like they are throwing me in here with no prep. I'm having it Thursday and I'm terrified. I almost feel like I shouldn't do it. I'm really worried about loose skin too...

I would say if the docs are happy, relax a little...just keep an eye on it too.

Did you have insulin issues before surgery?

Yes. I'm freaking out about it right now. Im reading all the info, and it seems like there's so many things that could go wrong, and like I'll be dealing with this forever. But my mom had it and she can wat fairly normal now.

Michelle, I saw that you had dr. Patel in London and you are at Lakenheath? I'm scheduled with him for next Thursday! I live in Mildenhall. I'm so scared! Can you email me? I'm having trouble posting on this app. Mandy.itouch@gmail.com

I'm hoping to keep it to my husband and kids, mom, sister, cousin, and one friend here who will be helping me out. I'm worried how I will keep it quiet as people will wonder. I worry that if they ask me I'll tell them cause I'm not good at saying 'non of your business' or feel comfortable lying. I have been trying hard for a while now with no results, o maybe I can keep that up and people will think it just started to kick in? I'm having surgery next Thursday! I'm sooo nervous. It's a whirlwind!
