I'm day 3 post op. Worried cause I didn't have one bit of trouble drinking 11oz. Premier Protein shake. Ya I had some bubbles in tummy and rumbling. But otherwise no prob.

I alive! Ha everything went really well. I was in room by 11:30. Just a tiny bit if ass under rib cage. No pain!! Guess I had a hiatal hernia?

What about Carnation? And add a tbsp of protein powder? W 2% milk. I use Unjury pretty much taste less. It tastes like a chocolate shake! Yummy!

I'm all set to leave my house at 4:30, hospital at 5:30, surgery at 7:30! I'm pretty calm! Excepting any prayers and or finger crossing! Thanks for being my Pal!

I have to be at hospital at 530! Never had a surgery in my life. Had 3 beautiful kiddos naturally. Not sure about this while hospital thing. But handling it pretty well. Sometimes bad thoughts!!! Like what if this is the last time I see them. They don't know I'm having surgery don't want them to worry! So I will do it all. Sorry just a bunch of random thoughts!

Yum wish I could have fruit!

I'm having surgery on the 1st. I am debating on getting my highlights touched up tonight. But than wondering will that do more damage to hair so it will fall out easier? Or do I just do it and feel better about myself. Cause when I look better (in my mind) I feel better!!

I'm interested in this thread! This pre op with all this fake sugar! Crystal lite, sugar free jello:(- pudding! Yuck!!!

How many nights did u end up staying in hospital?

Anyone out there? Looking for some May 1st or 2nd well anyone? Ha

Thanks everyone:)) I am getting the necessary protein from shakes. I think it prob has something to do w no more diet coke!!! And low calories for a few days! I don't know if we can add on more protein?

I am drinking 5 carnations (no sugar) w 5 grams of protein added to it (injury) w 2% milk a day. It's very satisfying to real hunger! The head hunger ( what I think is just used to filling my mouth when ever I want! Takes a lot of Will power! I just sip water. Get all the tempting food out of your house! Box it up. U can do it. May 1st is my VS day!

Is it normal to be tired in pre op liquid phase? I'm on day 4 of 7day liquid. Surgery is May 1st!

Thanks everyone???? what has your experience been w being really tired on liquids? Soooo tired today! Could be the crappy weather up here in northern Wisconsin too!

Thank u everyone! I'm soo ashamed I haven't told the 2 people who know I'm having surgery! Glad I have u all! Thank u. What does your liquid diet consist of?

So should I drink my 2 Protein shakes when I get home? Not drink Because I will be over calories? Or drink cause it will increase protein for day? And does ones BMI higher mean fatter liver? Lower mean skinner liver? Ha

Will this hurt me for surgery? I see so many w different preop?!?

I'm on day 3 of liquids and I work at a restaurant! I brought w 2 shakes well I should have brought 3 !!! Cause I just at 3 pieces of pizza! Now what! My surgery is on the 1st! I'm such a F up!

Today is day 4 of my liquid diet! It's hard!!! Food is everywhere when your a Mom!!! I still have to feed these rug rats!! But today I work and I work at a bar that I have full range of bar food!!!! I'm hoping and praying day flies by and I have the willpower to not shove anything in my mouth! I blame always working around found half my problem. When it's there I eat it!

I tooo get stuck when I read bad things. I have been telling myself it's just like having gall bladder surgery or has the same risk. Which is low. I have also wrote a list of positive reasons to have surgery... Feel better emotionally and physically Look better More energy Not let food control me Get Full Stop drinking dcoke Save money? I'm sure there is more. Make your own list and look back when your not feeling so positive.

May 1st is my day too! U guys start your liquid diet today?!?? My 1st surgery date was April 16th. I wasn't mentally ready. Feeling way better this time. Keeping fingers crossed I stay on the positive side of this!

May 1st!! This is my second date for surgery I was 1st scheduled for the 16th. But that date didn't work for anyone but me. Ha Anyway, my nerves were SOOOOO bad last time. It was almost to much to handle! Any advise?

The subject of who to tell!!! I feel like I don't want to tell people cause I don't want to have to talk them into why this is a good option for me. I don't want criticism. It's like when I finally picked a name for my kids before they were born. I put a lot of thought into their name. Someone would ask what are u gonna name baby if it's a girl. I would tell them. And they would wrinkle up nose and say ohhh I don't know if I like it. Really at this point keep your comments to yourself! Anyway sorry- guess I just needed to say that! Ha Good luck to all your amazing people who are scheduled tomorrow. Please let us know how u are doing! I will be checking up on u all.

Thanks for letting me know. When someone I have been following kinda disappears makes me worry:))

This is prob a dumb question and I really hope no one offended but...why are so many people going to Mexico for their surgery? Is it because insurance won't cover? Cause of BMI? Privacy?
