I have been craving a salad the entire time though. Really bad!!! Just loaded with veggies... Mmmm

On day 10 of my liquid diet! Surgery is Monday... So excited! First 2 days of liquid were hard day 3 on was downhill from there. Im on a full liquid I don't get one meal a day 4 boost shakes and water.

Sorry you are uncomfortable. My doctor also said no vitamins for 2-4 weeks until I was cleared. Maybe ask what yours recommends?

Oh blue please keep me updated!!! Sending positive vibes your way. I'll be thinking of you.

I am the 24th as well! Getting closer!!

I really hope you can get it cleared up and find some relief Christi! I am a kidney stone sufferer myself so I know how inconvenient and painful the frequent urge to urinate can be. While I was on antibiotics for a uti and while passing a stone I took the OTC Extra strength AZO in addition to my antibiotics and it definitely helped keep me comfortable more than anything.

You are doing great! you should be proud!

Pre-op HW 343 CW 293.4 Surgery on March 24

I agree but to say I would never use a doctor at ohsu isn't exactly necessary when speaking of your confidence in your own surgeon. Especially since so many here have used a surgeon at ohsu and are happy with them. It's ok to be confident with your surgeon and team I just don't see the need to belittle anyone else's. Just because they are "less expensive" doesn't mean they are inadequate at performing the same procedure. The same goes for being more expensive.. Doesn't necessarily mean they are any better.

That seemed a little snarky since people on here were talking about having their surgeries at ohsu.... I am glad you are happy with your surgeon and results but that doesn't make theirs any less adequate.

Well, I still think you are a beast and great job!!!! I'm impressed by your athletic abilities!!!

Awesome. We will have to keep tabs on one another. Lol. Most definitely!

That is really neat, I knew breaking teeth signified something I just didn't know what so thank you for sharing that information!

Interesting foods to dream cheat with! You may want to try my dream hot fudge sundae instead. Lol no kidding, your food dream sounds much more exciting!!! But it was really interesting to me because I am a vegetarian so I don't eat fish but I keep saying I am going to add it back into my diet.

I began my journey December 2012!! Finally got my date last month.

I was told caffeine increases appetite and to stay away from it... Who knows

My surgery is march 24th too

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow Shannon!! How are your nerves today? Do you think you will sleep tonight?

Ah thank you so very much!

Wondering how I can stop receiving bariatricpal emails for every single thing? Can I change this from the app?

I am on my pre op liquid diet and am having food nightmares!!! Today I dreamt I cheated by eating fish and it broke my front tooth! Wth then later I dreamt of string cheese lol

So today was day 1 of my pre op liquid diet... Not going to lie it was hard. It is also my time of the month... I have no energy and ended up taking two naps. I also seem to have a headache that just won't go away. I only ended up drinking 3 of my 4 shakes. In the car on my way home today the realization that I won't be able to eat substance for a month really hit me. Overall emotional day with lots of wtf am I doing moments..

They just called me to pre register for the day of surgery! Boy did that make it even more real!

Yay! Congrats!! I knew you would be my march 24th buddy!!! I just started my liquid diet today.
