My surgery was the 15th of this month. I somehow managed to come through it with flying colors, never needed any pain meds or any nausea meds, really only had a little bit of discomfort at one incision site. well boy am I paying now with constipation. Please make sure you are all either drinking some Fiber, there are non flavor ones that you can add right to your Water or maybe take a stool softener. Good Luck everyone and Happy Holidays.

I will be checking in on here for support! you guys are all great.

I'm scheduled for Monday the 15th. I can't wait.

oh and sugar free popsicles too.

In my pre-op diet, we are allowed vegetables for the first 5 days and that sure is helping. However Saturday and Sunday are only liquids...I have lost 9 pounds since Monday. You can drink chicken broth, sugar free Jello, caffeine free coffee or tea. The chicken broth helps fill you a little. Also how many grams of Protein vs. carbs are in the Protein shakes you are drinking. Mine are 35 grams of protein and 4 carbs. I drank one yesterday with only 15 grams of protein and was hungry faster. Good luck.

I bought the Cherry ones....haven't tried them yet.
