Some people have trouble tolerating cold beverages after surgery so your doctor was probably being cautious. If it's that bad that you aren't drinking then I would try some ice in it and see how it goes. Just take it slow. Good luck!

8am tomorrow. if i knew how I felt about that Id tell you

my surgery is tomorrow so i can personally recommend MOM. It only took less than an hour and i was really constipated

Thanks Mz Shay. Hang in there. We deserve to have this opportunity to get healthier and have better lives for it. Take some time to feel grumpy or sad about the delay and then get up there fighting! I really wish you well.

I am nervous but am just not thinking specifically about what it is I'm doing tomorrow. I'm in some form of denial for now lol. Hey, if I dont sleep they can save money on the anesthesia lol

8:00a.m. tomorrow

I sure understand that! I'm here, wondering if I'm going to sleep anyway lol so feel free to get it off your chest. I'll listen

Thank you. It's so frustrating with delays and all and I understand your need to vent. But it will get here soon you will see. You waited this long so three more weeks to change your life? Not too bad! I'll keep you in my thoughts!

Wishing her well and keeping her in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery!

My surgery is tomorrow and WOW it came fast. You will be surprised how fast 8/28 gets here!

thank you!

Ok, This is day nine of this liquid diet and all I can say is, my liver better be the size of a quarter now lol. I dont have a single craving but I want so badly to eat something substantial!

i cant wait to not be hungry!

Hi everyone, Well, my surgery is 8/7 and yesterday and today I just feel blah and kind of full of trepidation combined with denial. It's just a general funk. I am not sure what it's all about. I am afraid I will fail that is certain and I look at some posts on here with people failing a few months in after gastric bypass, it scares me more. I also feel unprepared but like I could never possibly be prepared. I feel anxious and really really quiet and distracted. Quiet is definitely weird for me. At this point, I'm hungry (this is day 7 of the pre op diet). I've lost 15.5 lbs on this ten day pre op diet but I feel really empty, both in my stomach and mentally. I don't know, maybe I just am lost without my food. I have a whole lot going on in my head but nothing really tangible. This is all very weird!

thanks everyone!!!

after being in ketosis for a while you wont taste it in your mouth anymore. When I was on atkins I always carried around those listerine breath strips.

Thank you! I'm sitting here wondering, how bad/sleepy/crummy will I feel in the hospital? I'm wondering if I should take my computer or leave it home. I have a kindle but it's not my computer. Me and those no good flash games lol.

It certainly does stir up a lot of emotions.

I get that but what I dont get is, why my doctors office says coffee (not decaf) is ok. If you can have a cup of coffee why can't you have a glass of tea? I'd think there is more cafeine in the coffee

I'm nervous but more numb I think. Before I thought this day was so far away and now I can't believe how fast it got here. You and I have similar stats. If you need a weight loss/surgery buddy I'm here!

Hiya! We are in the home stretch eh? Part of me is nervous but part of me is saying can we just do this already please? I want to get on with it, get through it and get healing. Then I can focus on skinny lol. How are you doing? Are you on the liquid diet?

Thank you! Today is day 9 of the liquid diet and I certainly have an opinion on it now lol.. First, I'm hungry. Cranky hungry. I had no problem the first three days but have been hungry since. I have no cravings at all and can look at food and smell food and not care. But I'm hungry so I want something hardy like a cheeseburger! That being said, I am glad that my doctor requires this because I think it makes the shock after surgery easier. I essentially gave up my food 9 days ago. I dont consider these protein shakes and broth food lol. If I was having my last food hoorah up to midnight tomorrow, that would so not be good. So, I think the liquid diet is a great idea for like 5 days. Now I want to not be hungry. I dont even need to eat just make me not hungry please For that reason, bring on the surgery! This liquid diet has also made me nauseous, light headed and dizzy. Honestly, if you are up to it, I'd say doing the diet for a few days, maybe 3-5 would be really good. It's just this 10 really sucks. Oh, did I mention that I am freaking hungry lol?

Is the staying away from caffiene temporary or permanent? They told me caffeine bothers the pouch. If I can't have my diet coke I really have to have my ice tea!

I love danon light and fit but hate greek yogurt. I just want to have a few things in the house when I get home in case I need it. Can I have regular danon light and fit and if so, any flavor?

Any suggestions on what food items I need to have in my house for when I get home besides protein shakes and vitamins?
