    Three days away from surgery. I've been good on the pre-op diet so why am I suddenly getting cravings?

      Thanks! I didn't cave even though I wanted to real bad! A fear in me says that my surgeon will know if I cheated and cancel my surgery! LOL

      I've heard that too.....and I was shocked when they actually put me on a scale inside the OR. What if I had gained? Yikes! I can't believe they would have you there at the time of surgery and weigh you again...lol. Clearly they are not playing...lol.

    Gastric emptying study on Monday, then when I get home I will have a fun-filled afternoon on the toilet after taking magnesium citrate to clean me out. TMI? LOL

      @packerfan I got the grape also. I am told it's best to mix it with something so I'm going to mix it with a grape flavored Powerade. @UnRuLy why was it the worst?

    Day 6 of pre-op diet and 7 lbs down. Pre-admission blood work shows I'm anemic. Never had that problem before. Going to have to recheck prior to surgery.

      Add some additional Iron to your vitamin regimen, if you haven't already!

      That's what I was thinking but the two a day vitamin regimen already has me constipated from the extra iron. I have a call into my surgeon's office so I'm waiting for a call back to see what they want me to do.

    Had to buy my robe for the hospital online because the store doesn't have the bigger sizes. I will be so happy when that's no longer an issue!

      I bought a pair of scrub pants to wear under my hospital gown!!

    Pre-surgery testing and bariatric class done today. Also on day 2 of pre-op diet. So hungry and missing coffee! Massive headache right now not helping either. I will get through this!!!

      I found after surgery coffee wasn't that important. I was an avid coffee drinker, I mean all day and take it to bed. Drink it hot or cold. At least 1 1/2 - 2 pots a day. Since my surgery I have drank 2 cups total. You can get through this.

      Thanks! I'm actually only a morning coffee drinker and I've heard many people say I won't miss it after surgery. I just miss it right now! LOL

    Starting pre-op diet on Wednesday. Cheating my butt off until then!

      I know what you are going through. My family and friends had a "fat" "Going away party" for me the Saturday before my surgery. Everywhere I went I would say why not I won't be here again. Lol don't beat yourself up over this you can do it.

    Being on vacation in a shore town makes me long for the days when I won't feel so out of place and can enjoy a dip in the pool or sit on the beach feeling comfortable!
