I just found out that my insurance approved surgery!! I won't be able to have surgery until October because of my work schedule. Anyway, I really wasn't getting my hopes up in case insurance didn't approve it, but now it's real omg. I'm nervous and excited and would love someone to be buddies with through this. Any takers? I'm 37. I have 4 kids (14, 11, 4 and 2) and I'm a teacher. I am starting with a BMI of 40 exactly with no comorbidities. Anyone out there with similar stats? Even different stats but you are having surgery in October? My date is 10/4. Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I messed up. Took a couple bites of homemade chicken taquitos that I made for my boys... is this going to make me sick?? I already don't feel so great. HW 230 SW 218 (10/4/2018) GW 130

Hey guys, just wanted to get some clarity about what are full liquids vs clear liquids? Also, when did your surgeon have you all start clear liquids only pre-operatively? I am on 4 protein shakes per day and I am sick of the sweet. Surgery is October 4th. I am wondering what I could do besides premier protein shakes from now until surgery.

I had broccoli cheddar soup from publix today. I did not strain it. I just mushed thecalready very mushy broccoli pieces down. I had about 3 oz. It was amazing. That was at noon. It is now almost 10 pm and I'm still stuffed. Did I mess up?? HW 230 SW 218 (10/4/2018) GW 130

I had my surgery on October 4 and I am 2 days out from surgery and I feel miserable. Is this normal? All I want to do is lay in bed all day. How long before I start feeling better? I can't keep any water down. I chugged too fast yesterday and threw up stomach bile. I don't think I even get down 16 oz of water per day. Am I facing dehydration?

Thank you so much! I actually feel much better. It was a pressure every time I drank water. I am able to get water down now with no issues. Thank God! I had very bad reflux before surgery, and I think that is going to be a huge problem now, unfortunately. HW 230 SW 218 (10/4/2018) GW 130

I have not been 100% on this pre-op diet at all. I am about 9 days away... I do protein shakes all day long, and then go home and eat a full plate of food. I can't stop. Am I sabotaging this surgery? Is this super dangerous? What are complications that could come from this?

You are amazing for doing this! A natural leader and motivator! How are you feeling? I had mine the day after you. I am feeling much better today than even earlier today while I was in the hospital. I was able to get a few sips of a protien shake and I think I have come back to life again. Lol how are you doing? DM me. Lets keep in touch! Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had mine this morning. The pain is awful. I just want to chug water!!! Sent from my SM-G892U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am a teacher as well! My surgery date is tomorrow. I am taking tomorrow and Friday off, and then I have Monday and Tuesday off for fall break. I plan on going back on Wednesday of next week, so I really hope it all goes well, and I recuperate fast! I would hate for my poor sixth graders to feel the wrath of my hanger... nobody likes that. You can ask my family. Poor guys have been living with demon mom/wife for 2 weeks now.

Thanks everyone. I know I have to get my head in the game, but if food was not so hard to master, I wouldn't be on here in the first place. Moving forward, I am going to do exactly as directed. No slip ups. Thank you so much for the encouragement!

Is it too late to start? If I follow the last 9 days 100%, should it be ok?
