I came home yesterday and took one of my pain meds with a nausea meds and it tasted so horrible crushed up. I didn't come home with narcotics because I'm in recovery. I feel so much better walking around today except where my drainage bulb is. I can't wait for pureed food. I'm ready for some taste. I've noticed I don't like Jell-O like I did, but I love Popsicle.

I wish I could drink muscle milk, but it's got too many carbs. I'm drinking nitro tech whey gold from GNC. I had found a recipe on bariastic for chicken crust pizza that I can't wait to try when I get to solid foods. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

The Dr gave me a suppository on Thursday. I had 2 bowel movements that day, then another Friday before I was discharged. I also have some smooth move tea here at home and I drank it before my surgery during my pre op liquid diet and it worked. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Finally came home today. Where my drainage tube is, it hurts. Whenever I drink, I feel bubbly and have to burp. I'm sipping fluids. I did drink my protein shake kinda fast and my stomach hates me now. I haven't thrown up but I get nauseous here and there Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I just had my surgery on the 3rd. Out of 2 weeks on that diet, I adhered maybe 5 days. It was horrible, but the last 5 days, I made myself stick as much as possible. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Good morning y'all. I joined the losers bench. I wasn't nervous going in, but super sorry excited. I was so excited . Now I'm in such pain. My tummy hurts, my head, and I have an abundant amount of gas in my left breast area. I keep reminding myself that I need this. Sorry about your loss. I'm proud of you for continuing even after your loss. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

My pre op liquid diet is for 2 weeks. I can only eat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt 3 times a day. I have to drink 3 protein drinks a day. Unlimited sugar free jello, Popsicle or broth. And today, my last day was clear liquids only. At 4, I had to drink citrate of magnesia. And I have to be at the hospital at 530 in the morning. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

With me, the broth was free or unlimited. Most broth has a little very little protein, but you should be getting your protein amounts with your shakes. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I wasn't able to eat meat on my pre op diet. I was only able to eat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. I couldn't have a meal except liquids. My Dr had free liquids like broth, sugar free Popsicle, sugar free Jell-O, and flavored water that I could have unlimited during the day. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -

I had good days and bad. Mostly at night was the worst. Today was clear liquids only and citrate at 4. I felt so bad I wasn't hungry, but this time tomorrow I'll be on the losers bench. [emoji106] Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -
My surgery is Tuesday and for the past few weeks I've been an emotional roller coaster. I have had every fear come and go. I've grieved food. I've dwelled on what the future will be like. And now, the simplest things make me want to cry. I don't want to fail and I know that the best things don't come easy. A nurse from my Dr office that had it said she didn't even notice the hair loss much. It wasn't bald spots, just thinner. She says eat your proper amount of protein and take your vitamins. She also said its short term. I think that is less important than how unhealthy obesity is. I have to remember to take one day at a time. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm doing good. Getting ready for my surgery Tuesday. Tomorrow is clear liquids only Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I think the pre liquid varies with drs not bmi. Mine is 41 and I have a 2 week liquid diet. When I took my pre op class, everyone in there has to do a pre op diet of 2 weeks. Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app

That's about how mine is. Except in my 2 week pre op, I can have cottage cheese lowfat and low carbs Greek yogurt. But only up to 3 times a day and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I have to have clear liquids throughout the day. The day before I can only have clear liquids and take citrate of magnesia around 4 pm. But the rest is exactly the same.

I would love some fruit or meat, I think I just want something to chew. I can have cottage cheese or Jell-O but the cottage cheese only up to 3 times a day and Greek lowfat yogurt up to 3 times a day. So far I haven't noticed any hair loss and I don't start taking vitamins until a week after surgery. I also have dreads so I only wash my hair about 1-2 times a week and don't brush it.
