4 days and i get alot of gas pain after i eat. some bloating. the gas x helps some. I have slept in my bed last night and was out for about 7 hours.

i left yesterday. the first thing i did was take some gas x strips and a heat pad and i haven't stopped farting. I feel so much better. I'm only needing the lortab about every 10 hours today. so that's good. So far the heating pad and my gas x strips are my best friend. good luck to you all just getting here. and thanks everyone for the well wishes.

Hi all. Surgery was Tuesday . Still in the hospital a secong night. I'm not passing any gas and the pain is pretty rough. The first night I was up every 2 hours to pee and walk then when I started clears today I started getting pain. It feels like I'm very distended and hurts a lot. I'm not regretting but wishing I felt good enough to go home.

my report time is 6am tomorrow.. good luck!

mine is Tuesday as well. My pre op was only 4 days. but i spent the entire month of sept saying goodbye to food. I honestly dont miss it. i said my goodbyes and i feel strangely at ease with it. right now.. i cant sleep at all im too excited nervous scared anxious

fat free refried beans with beef broth and sour cream and melted LF cheese

My 4 day - started today full and clear liquids and yogurt no more than 800-1000 cals for the day.

Move over ladies.. I have 7 days to go. This time next week, I will be kicking fat's @ss, Also I decided to wear my bear pajamas to the hospital.

It feels weird knowing i have only 1 more week of regular food to eat. I only have to have a 4 day liquid pre op diet. Not to shabby.

Today is my pre op appt with the surgeon and my pre admission testing. 12 days to go!!! We are almost there guys <3.

syntrax nectar - also OhYeah! . they are rtd shakes but not a thick as some others.

I am SO consumed. I cant sleep.. I decided against a prerelease to stay home and watch youtube and read forums all day.. then BF took me out for sushi now incase my pre op appt this thursday says i have to start the liquid diet early. I feel like a kid waiting to go to disneyland.

Thank you SoccerMomma73. I have taken the last 6 months since i finished everything to learn every possible thing i can. typical and non typical stall periods, What to expect when you come home. What to do and not to do..Practice eating and not drinking around meals, taking vitamins at certain times and not with others. Practicing protein shake recipes that arent gross, Its reassuring to have someone that has already been there to reinforce everything in their own words. <3

My last meal is going to be sushi the night before i start my liquid diet which is 4 days before my surgery.

BLASPHEMY!!! There is no such thing as pumpkined out! how dare you?

A friend of mine on FB posted pics of SF pumpkin pie coffee creamer. and chocolate mint too.

From what i understand we can only absorb 30 grams at a time. now, unless you are spreading that shake out over a few hours then you are ok . otherwise, you might just be wasting protein powder.

I had 3 months of nutrition to complete. I finished that in april.. I just had to wait for the time off from work to coordinate with my bf so he could help me the first few days home.

Good luck.. I got my letter today!

I came home to my acceptance letter from aetna.. YAY!!!! I'm still not sleeping well because i am anxious and now getting nervous and excited.

thats on my list of questions the ask the doc at me pre op appt too. 30 days for me . i am so obsessed i still cant sleep unless i take something and then im still dreaming about it and talking to many different people.. watching the first month videos on youtube of anything i can find. i just want it to be here already. today i made some homemade chicken stock to freeze for when i come home

I cant sleep now and i still have 34 days.. I cant imagine how you feel right now.
