I will have to check that out just in case

I’m try to find a good water bottle that doesn’t sweat but has a flip lid for the water requirements

I know what you mean lol they are sure adamant about the thing at the Drs

I was thinking of the gas X chewable but then found the melt away ones I’m thinking of getting instead

I hate that machine with a passion. The second the surgery is over I’m going to clean it, dry it, and celebrate putting it away in it’s pretty little case. Then stuff it in the back of the closet where I never have to think of it again.

I couldn’t agree more with you Frustr8

Yeah plus you just don’t know if they will actually have the strips. I’m beginning to think they stopped making them.

That’s all I can find is chewable or the melt away

What is NALDS?

Where are you getting the gas x strips online I cannot find them

Congratulations on a successful surgery!!

I’m not sure how to message someone directly on here but if I figure it out I will. What have you been using for the diet so far

My prep as long as it is still happening is Tuesday at 9. They gave me the time early since we don’t live in Owasso. Ty I appreciate it same for you too I’m always on here since I found this site a few days ago. We have the strictest diet I have found in comparison to others. I have actually lost 20lbs even with my big slide.

I’m with him as well mine is supposed to be at 6am. No not all but I really cheated and I called the dr office and talked to the nurse this afternoon. I explained what happened and she said she didn’t know if he would still accept that and let the surgery happen

Ty so much. Right now the diet before hand is killing me and my surgery might be canceled because I messed up. Will find out Monday.

Mine is the 13th too if it’s still happening. Who is your surgeon? And how are you doing on your two week diet?

Well I called mr surgeons office spoke to the nurse. Explained everything and she said stay on the diet. She will talk to the surgeon on Monday when he’s there and see if we have a go for Wednesday or not. She said she’s not sure if he will or not. I told her I lost 20 pounds as well. So here’s to a very stressful weekend ahead and hoping I don’t have to reschedule all my work days etc. and if so it’s nobody else fault but my own.

I did have a psych. done and testing. I had the pizza and doughnuts and burger on the 30th & 31st. Mostly as the last meal type thing. Because I knew the real diet started the next day. I wouldn’t be able to eat that stuff again. And most certainly not more than a bite or two if I ever could handle it. The doughnuts I had to go back and look I kept a food diary. I had the pizza at 8pm the doughnuts I had was at 1am we were heading home late from work. Also the beef and veggies were together it was less than 2oz of meat and a 1 cup sautéed veggies in olive oil same with the chicken and veggies Not that it changes a lot but thought I should clarify a couple things.

I appreciate everyone being frank and although tough to hear I admit but needed.

Anyone of recently going to Baileys Bariatric in Owasso oklahoma?

I am hopeful all is well and your resting, can’t wait to hear all the progress

Wishing you lots of positive thoughts

Okay so here is the entire story here. I have posted in bits and pieces in replies to others. So I started my pre diet liquid only mind you. At three weeks prior to my June 13th surgery date. I have NASH or severe fatty liver or whatever they are calling it now a days 5/24th I started it. I did really good I was doing my liquid protein and broth, sf jello and popsicles and a cup of yogurt. Then on the 30th and 31st I fell off it because I had found out I couldn’t have broth nor yogurt. The surgeons office said the sodium in broth would not release the fat around the liver. And the yogurt was too much milk products since I’m using premier shakes. So that sat me back and it was a lot to lose I tried it and was so hungry I gave in and had a blue cheese burger at a restaurant on the 30th. Then my coworkers brought in my favorite pizza they thought it had not started yet so I had like 4 slices and doughnuts(2) a couple hours later. On June 1st I started again this time no broth or yogurt and it’s much harder. I made it through Friday, Saturday and Sunday then failed as the following this week starting on Monday Monday- 2 fried burgers with tons of cheese and on bread. Tuesday- large movie popcorn and butter Wednesday- small cheeseburger and beef with veggies Thursday- beef with veggies and chicken with veggies and cheese My dear hubby is freaking out about it and has me worried that I’m going to get to surgery and they will cancel it or open me up and cancel it. I started it at the weight of 311 or 314 and I’m now at 291 so I have lost some weight. So im just curious if I can follow the all liquid till surgery if I stand a chance of it happening any thoughts? Has anyone ever failed this badly this close and made it? or has anyone had surgery they went in and closed without doing it? Because they cheated. I know I did it to myself and well I own that fully. I couldn’t control my actions I will have to work on that a lot. But I’m torn as to if I should just call the surgeon office and tell them to cancel it because my liver is most likely not shrunken enough. If I do that I know he’s heading out a week after the 13th for three weeks and my insurance only approved the surgery window up till July 3rd or just be strict till the 13th and hope all is well. As well as doing a murelax bowel cleanse the day before. Oh how I wish I could have been stronger and not cheated

Wow congratulations. That is super fast! It’s taken me since last August to get to surgery on the 13th. Good luck on your diet I’m glad you get some food it’s easier that away

I love all of these ideas and suggestions thank you all. I’m positive all of the ideas will help me and our pre op buddies out. I’m thinking of taking my body pillow personally but idk might be to bulky. I love the sip cup I’m ordering it tonight hope it gets here by Wednesday. I cant find the gas-X strips Amazon is out not sure if they will get them back. Has anyone used the melt away ones?
