At least you guys can have protein .. Im only allowed clear liquids PERIOD (broth, sugar free Popsicles) ugh ... Thursday is my surgery !

Lol the kind that doesn't involve a crash at the end ! Real energy means I can wake up and feel refreshed and not have to pop a NOS lol ... It's bad for me anyways but with being in college , they come in really handy ! Idk what I'm going to do now lol .

Good luck ! Sending prayers your way !

I thought I was going to be the lucky one who had no pre-op diet BUT I was wrong . U have to do a 2 day clear liquid diet (surgery is this Thursday) and I have already lost 2 pounds in like one day . I have a horrible headache and I am grouchy ! Is this normal ?

Same with me ! I love the energy drink NOS and I had to give them up sad occasion but after all the weight is gone lol I might actually have REAL energy lol

That's my question as well !

I have a hernia that they discovered during my EGD . It's a pretty good size, however, they just said they're going to remove it say if surgery !

Ummmm mine only took like 2 days BUT I harassed them like CRAZY !

I really like this quote ! Thank you so much !

Your first nutrition appointment counts so you should be done by August right ?

Yes . I went April , May, and June . BUT IS HAS TO BE BY A PHYSICIAN... And I did a 3 month nutritionist visit and they still approved me in 1 day .

I am too ... My surgery is July 19 and I am freaking out nervous !

I'm so glad that there are so many supportive people on here ! I feel more prepared than ever , mentally, but I still need to get things for surgery . What are some already made Protein shakes that are quick and easy to find w/o having to order off line ? What about Vitamins ? B-12 ? Will liquid Centrum do the trick ? Ever tried protein Popsicles ?? Eww maybe ? Lol idkkkkk.... What about Medicine for monthly cycle ?? What are things I will need for the overnight stay? Sooo many questions

Thank you !

Thank you !

This is my surgery date .... Ironically, I am 19 years old . July (7) + Year (12) = 19 . I am 119 minutes from the hospital EXACTLY. Eh, strange?

That's what I'm telling people also ... !!! Ha, it's not lying because I actually AM, I haven't even told friends ! Just my parents (who are all for it plus my mom was banded) but u just don't think I will tell a lot of people to save myself from all the rude comments ! I am off to college and it is a very small school and you know how YOUNG IMMATURE ADULTS can be .

I have tricare prime (south)

Finally got approved today !!! No pre-op diet ... No weight loss necessary ! Pre-op is next Wednesday and surgery is that Thursday !!! To God be the Glory !

Me too ! I never gain weight in my boobs ! Im still a 38b as well ... On a good day !

Best Wishes and a Speedy Recovery !
