hi! so im sorry you are stuck with 2 weeks of liquids ... yuck. i lost a lot of weight in one month so my dr said i am allowed to just do 7 days of liquids. i start tomorrow. Not looking forwards to it. Have you stared yet? I have very similar feelings, more so because my procedure is a higher risk due to previous surgery and some other complications. That's what has me very nervous, also i wont know if i get bypass or sleeve until after the surgery, since he will try his best to do bypass but i may have a ton of scar tissue that make it impossible to do the bypass.

that is amazing, im hoping for a speedy and painless recovery, but my surgery is a little more entailed due to previous surgery on my abdomen, and a mesh they may need to cut thru to get to my intestines, so i may be in a bit more pain. But it sounds like usually the pain is bearable and minimal

lol, well that is reassuring, how was the pain immediately post op?

Well that is tough, 2 oz every 15 minutes seems like a lot, i have trouble now with liquids. but i just gobble down the rest of my water to catch up and i know i wont be able to do that once i have surgery. Have you been nauseous?

Well i mean, your only a clear liquid diet right now, so i was wondering if the liquids your drink just funnel thru your new pouch or they stay in the pouch for a bit.

so its not like a funnel? since there is no pyloric valve i figured it would be like a funnel and the liquid would past thru quickly. But you feel it in your stomach?

wow 20lbs in 5 days thats insane, how are you doing with the liquids part?

Well i understand the nervousness. I would love to hear from you when you are feeling better and out of surgery!!! I hope you surgery goes quick and speedy recovery

Wow, that doesn't sound too bad. I hope it isn't, I'm kind of worried. How did your surgery go? I'm so nervous to be honest

When do you have to start your pre-op diet?

I know!!!! I'm excited but im actually kind of nervous. Ive been reading up and people have been scaring me about how they feel, their side effects and what have you. How are you feeling about it all?

Your going to mexico, are they a well known group? Im so excited we have similar dates. I see dr Tishler, WHen are you going to mexico for the surgery, the 22nd?

I would love to have you as a companion in this journey. How are you doing post op?

Good luck everyone with dates this month! I was told i will stay from 1-3 days depending on multiple factors. So just know they will keep you for your safety and try not to stress!!

i feel your anxiety. Im having anxiety myself. Im about 10 days out from surgery. Im starting the pre-op diet soon and im very nervous for the outcome of it all. Good luck

Hello. Im going for surgery on the 20th, and would like to find someone who can be a buddy or mentor in this new journey in my life.

Hi! I just got my surgery date for July 20th. I'm excited nervous and everything in between. Looking to find a pal, to work through the process with, with similar surgery date!

Yes I do have a similar pre op. I can have 2 serving of a protein [3oz chicken, low fat yogurt, wtc) 2 servings of vegtables (1 cup cook3d or 2 cups raw) Plenty of fluids/broth/etc Also 3-4 protein shakes that are 5grams of carbs or fewer. I wonder why they limit your brother intake. I hate protein shakes so my nut and I decided I can mix the unflavored protein with broth. I can have the sugar free pops or drinks but I hate the aftertaste. So I'm just going to do my hint water.

Every program is different, My program is 3-4 Protein shakes a day 48-68oz of Water a day or more 2 solid lean Proteins (3oz chicken, 1 low fat yogurt, etc) 2 servings of vegs either (1 cup cooked or 2 cups raw is a serving) Also and broth based Soups. SO i guess i have it easier than some.

This information is very helpful! Im starting the pre-op diet on wednesday. Im nervous, i keep hearing horror storys LOL

So the point is you are going to lose weight with this diet and you will shrink your liver. You really need to stay strong and stick to it, the surgeon can cancel the surgery if he feels you didnt stick to the guidelines. Its for your safety anyways, to make sure your liver doesnt get damaged by being in the way! I wish you luck. Wait how long is your preop diet for??

My surgery date is the 20th too!!!!

Hello everyone! I just got my date! I will be having surgery July 20th!!!! Im super excited and Nervous!!!

Hmm good to know. I mean it's just water could it really cause symptoms?

Hey I was wondering will we always have to sip drinks? For the rest of our lives or can you eventually gulp a nice cold glass of water on a hot day?
