Casey the best of luck with your surgery tomorrow. I be thinking of you and praying for a smooth recovery. My surgery is Wednesday 7/30

Welcome SandraB! I'm so excited that it's hard for me to concentrate on anything else. I have been cleaning my whole house this week to keep busy.

Thank you Jomamacita. I am using a sippy cup and it works great. I also put my shakes in the sippy cup I just made the holes a little bigger for the shake to go through.

Pik I hope your recovery is quick.

Thank you Tgarden

Woo hoo you look awesome!!! Congrats!

Pik I'm happy for the surgery went fine. I hope your nausea goes away.

Jomamacita I am doing the same thing buying all that I need for after surgery. I think about having this surgery 24/7 I'm on the pre-op surgery diet and having a hard time stretching out my meal for 30 mins. I'm having a hard eating slow. I'm freaking thinking I'm a failure already.

Casey - I'm still having a hard time sipping my shakes way we is can sip. I just had a ah ha moment... I know what I'm going to do Buy a sippy cup that should help me. I just had a ah ha moment

Welcome Carmen! When is your surgery date? This is a great place for support.

My two week diet is proteins shakes I can eat veggies, scrambled eggs, pork loin. It has to be a lot of protein. After surgery I start the liquid diet.

I noticed I have gas from the shakes...do you?

I bought my scale at Amazon it was $36.00 for $15.00 it's great! I also bought 3 and 4oz ceramic bowls and containers too.

I'm having some difficulty sipping my shakes not as much with the water. Is there anything I can do to help me sip my protein shakes? I'm on my 2nd day of the diet.

Congrats on getting your date for surgery. The days can't go faster for me.

Casey I'm on day 2 of of the pre-op diet. I have 13 days to go for my surgery.

Sorry I sent my message before I was finished. Where everyone knows how you feel.

Sarah congrats on your decision to have GBP surgery. This is a wonderful support forum where everyone give great support, encouragement,

Sweet - sounds like this surgery was the best thing for you. You will not have most of the health issues you have Now. I'm sure you will feel a lot better as time goes on. That's wonderful your making progress. The best of luck to you.

Boppin I'm a guzzler too. I thought sipping would be so hard but it's not to bad. I'm on my 2week pre-op diet surgery date is 7/30.

My surgery is 7/30 I saw the surgeon and nutritionist yesterday. I just started my first week on the liquid diet today. Next week till the surgery I start my protein shakes. So far so good I'm not hungry for food.

Stacyann - you should call your doctor and nutritionist.

Misty - my thoughts and prayers will be with tomorrow. I pray for you to have a smooth surgery and speedy recovery. Many hugs to you, Sandy

How long is the pre-op diet for? I see my surgeon, nutritionist and get blood work tomorrow. Insure I'll find out tomorrow but I was wondering how long do most stay on the diet for.
