Good luck Cindy! Let us know how you are doing. I'm right behind you on November 4th.

I'm less than 2 days away from surgery. I think I'm the first one here going in. Wish me luck!

I will be banded. I'm strangely not nervous yet but I know I will be soon. The one thing I am is HUNGRY.

I had a similar experience with my husband after my 2nd child was born. I kept calling and calling him and he didn't come. He says he didn't hear me but didn't check on me for over an hour and I had a 103 fever. Who wouldn't check on someone who just had a c section and had a 103 fever. I couldn't move. It was scary. I still bring it up. I'm not expecting much of him after my operation Tuesday.

Go walking. I can't make this weekend either. Getting my pre op hair done ????

Someone on the board mentioned brilliantly freezing her protein shakes for post op in one of those ice pop makers. Has anyone had success doing this? Thinking it's a good way to get protein and have something soothing.

No I meant to respond to the previous post. Their name is glockoma. I'm lazy!

Glock. Good idea!!!

Me too. I'm going to pass on most Christmas parties this year as well. I miss alcohol the most!!!

My surgeon says 30 minutes.

Today I put up a full length mirror. The first time I had one in 10 years.

Elizabeth. Congrats!!!!

Jodaggers. Wow that is soon. How are you doing on the pre op diet? Went to a cocktail party for my son's school tonight. I had seltzer to drink. Only. Then I hit the veggie plate and had that and a tbsp of dip. I was going to have a pig in the blanket but ended up having 3 chips with a teaspoon of guacamole. I was proud of myself. I have been very compliant and put it all in MFP.

Sounds like a bypass diet.

You are awesome. An inspiration to us newbies. Thanks for posting and sharing your struggles and insecurities. It makes me good to know that other people feel the same

Good luck Diane. Today is day 8 pre op for me. I'm being banded 11/4

Thanks everyone. I am going to up my Water intake while on pre op. I think this weekend I was slacking on water if I was honest with myself. If it happens again I will take miralax. After surgery these are all excellent suggestions re Beans and prune juice. Will write them down.

Daisy good luck and let us know how you are doing! I am 5 days after you so would love to get the low down. ????

I don't think that I can have prune juice on my pre op unfortunately. I have never had these issues before.

I doubt it but would call your surgeon just to make sure. How much time between your burger and surgery? I know it's hard. I'm on day 6. I have another 8 days to go but the diet is to make the surgery safer so start over and be strict but call the surgeon. You aren't the first person to call I'm sure.

I just started to become constipated on the preop diet day 5. Today it's worse. Since I'm limited to what I can do are there any suggestions? I would hate to start to take meds now unless I absolutely have to so wondering if anyone has an old remedy that would be consistent with my diet

TheDude How's it going? I have done well except for 2 oz of deli roast beef and one mozzerella stick.

I think you are coming down with a stomach bug ????

Would love to be a 10. But honestly I just want to feel better. What I would love is to be able to wear sleeveless anything!!!
