I had my surgery 07/08/15. I'm 22 pounds down. I don't really eat much, can't be consistent with my vitamins, and struggling to get my water. Just the thought of eating or having a protein shake makes me fill sick. I get a cramping feeling right under my chest. Any suggestions or help would be great. I try to keep a positive attitude but some days I just wish I could go back to be a normal fat girl and eat everything.

I had GB July 8th and this liquid diet is killing me. My husband made chicken tonight and the house smelled amazing. I got a lil irritated and down. I can't wait for this stage to be over. It's hard to have a positive attitude when your miserable but I try my hardest and always remember why I chose this journey. Good Luck.

Anyone know if it's safe to take Ex-Lax?

Congrats!!! Wishing you lots of good luck!

I had my surgery on the 8th and I can move around pretty good. I'm having trouble with my shakes and staying hydrated. I just don't feel good and everything I think about eating or drinking makes me queasy. Also yesterday and today my emotions have been all over the place. I'm scared, maybe I can't do this.

@MochaGryl thanks for the tips. I've made it to day 6. My doctor told me light soups are okay so I will definitely try it.

I' on Day 4 of my pre-op diet and I'm emotional. I have a headache and everything they Okayed me to eat is sweet. I just want something not sweet and not cold. On a brighter note my pre-op is tomorrow. It's getting so close. Do any of y'all have any suggestions or motivations that's helping you get through the pre-op diet?

I'm July 7th. Just started my pre-op diet today. It hasn't been that bad but I'm so hungry.

Montanamel mine is also on the 7th....I'm super excited. Ready to be post op.

Hi, I have my WLS on July 7th. My name is Stacey and I'm looking for peeps that are on this journey with me for motivation and support.

Hi, my name is Stacey and I would love to have a buddy to go through this journey with. My surgery is July 7th and I'm really nervous and excited.

I start my liquid diet on Sunday. Do y'all have any suggestions as to where to buy the cheapest protein powder? Also did you buy the unflavored, flavored, or both?
