Ok, so today I started my pre op liquiid diet. I have many different brands to try and see what fits me best or I can tolerate. BUT with that being said, so far I am burping and generally have a bitter foul taste. * please note * When ever I have tried diet drinks in the past even sodas, anything with fake sweeteners, makes me ill , I will burp and taste it all day Which is exactly what i am doing now. I dont think I can take 3 weeks of this. And if I need to drink alot of these protien shakes afterwards, Im looking at the same problem. I am getting this sharp metallic bitter taste that is not going away, and the gas tastes even worse. Any hints or ideas to help ? I have already cheated some, to cut the bitter metallic taste I have eaten a couple potato chips.

Ok, I will be a November 3rd sleever. This has all happened so fast and i have been let down before so i have not really started looking into everything until today. I keep expecting for them to say...oops never mind we wont be able to do your surgery. So with that being said - yesterday saw the nurtritionist and Monday I am to start on my pre op diet. I guess I need to look into getting a blender, find some recipes or food ideas after surgery - discovering what to expect post op..... Nutritionist is not real strict about drinking their own product, but she has set guidelines for me and I can look for some to try and see what works well. 150-200 calories, ( i forgot the rest, its all written down in my paperwork ) etc, Does anyone have any good ideas or things you think would help ?

Well, I have to agree with most on here. You should write a letter. #1 You were approached by an employee that had NO business to question you about how you were flying in my opinion. The person taking your ticket, the pilot and stewardesses should have been the only one concerned about you fitting in the seats. #2 Just because you work in an airport does NOT give you free reign to scrutinize people who YOU think are too fat, too short, too stupid, etc etc. Unless that is in your job description its not for you to comment on leave it up to the people who are on that particular flight. For an employee of the airport to ASSUME its their duty to approach random people and critique their looks ---- ( if they're not an air marshal looking for terrorists lol ) The only thing they would get from me is the middle finger salute !

November 3rd is my scheduled date... ready to get going !

OOO thats good to know about scarring. I have had a few surgeries and was told I had lots of scarring. So I guess I will warn my surgeon to expect alot just in case

Hello everyone, I am just getting started and was scheduled for surgery just a month away ! I go in for my 4 wk pre op tomorrow. So far I dont have any nerves going on LOL. Just a few questions and eager to start my new life.
