Well, maybe she was just being kind. I know I have had a hard time not rewarding people with food. I would give her one more chance, she does it again and then I would be done.

Awesome!!! I'm really happy for you! That is my first goal!

My surgery is the 19th so I BETTER :-) be home on Thanksgiving but just turkey broth for me. To all the ladies cooking that meal so soon after surgery, my hat is off to you! I just feel bad for my poor hubby. Having my mom bring him a plate.

You are the day after me!! We WILL BE HOME and having turkey broth!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Jami, One thing you might want to do is follow the November surgery thread. It is literally a day by day thread of people going through the surgery all the good and the bad. Yes there is pain, some complications and the trial of finding the right protein shake and getting enough water/exercise in. Even with these aspects. the results are overwhelmingly positive. Almost everyone I have seen on this board would do it again. I know four people personally and all said it was the best thing they ever did. There is a ton of good info here and the books that LosingItForMe recommended. Follow your doctors orders, ask a lot of questions and you should be fine. Good Luck!

Mommy.... Thanks never thought of it that way. Poor little guys. I'm sure I will make a big fuss too! lol

Wow drastic change. So happy for you!!

Sweet!!! Holy cow you look amazing!!! 125 in nine months. Wow. You go!!!

On the clear liquid stage, unjury has a clear chicken broth with protein in it. It tastes really good. I bought this hoping to give me energy for the first stage. They also have a strawberry drink that is clear also good and I am not. Strawberry person. Good luck

I also found liquid centrum. We will see how it tastes.

Any soft non underwire bra should be ok as long as it is not tight or rubbing. I'm in the same boat. Mine are huge and I don't want them swingin while walkin! Lol

Good luck today!!! We are thinking of you!! Thanks all for the details. It actually makes me feel sooo much better. I've never had surgery or pain meds so the details help calm my nerves.

Oh Falicia, I am too!! I can not focus on work ugh!

I just go sample packs of both the sytrax and the matrix. I know most of the sytrax you mix with water what about the matrix, like the cookies and cream? I am trying to find shakes that I can use with water since I travel a lot and the extra calories. THanks

Crstal!! YEA Great news!!

Lol this cracks me up. I love it!!

Kizzi and Ellie. You both look like new women! Congrats!

I spoke with my dr about this. She said that when your BMI is under 50 the liver is not much of an issue. She has been doing this surgery for five years and only had a "liver" issue once with a high BMI patient. Plus she wants you as strong as possible before surgery and that's hard to do on Clear Liquids or all liquid for two weeks prior. I have to do a pre op bowel prep (clear liquid) diet about two days before.

Wow nice job!!
