I have to use Premier pre-op, but I have heard the Atkins high protein shakes have some really yummy flavors - looking forward to trying them!

I would agree w that. My pre op diet doesn’t allow anything but liquids so I’m pretty effing hungry! I’m wrapping up day 5....3 to go. Arg!!!

Uhhh...shot glass??????? ?

I'm on day 5 of 8 pre-op liquids. It isn;t great. I'm tired and I'm sorta hungry, but not really. More like just not satisfied. Bone Broth is my savior! Something warm and savory in my tummy makes a HUGE difference. You got this, lady!!!

I HATE my cpap with a bloody passion. Can't wait to wave goodbye to it. Sleep doc once told me that typically, reducing your body weight by 20% can stop certain apneas. We shall see!!!

This is currently my biggest fear - that I will get sick and be unable to have my surgery.

OMG - I called it!!! Also, you are right up my alley and I just Kindled up a couple of your books to read while I'm off! During the semester I never get to read for pleasure, so I'm looking forward to it!

Thank you!

OK. 4 days in and I'm hungry now. Food smells make me swoon. That is all. I have lost some poundage though.

Also, you should consider a career in writing!

I freaking LOVE you! Thanks for being a real human being and being brave enough to admit it! Yesterday was one day, today is new and you got this!!!!!!

Silly Geodude! Maybe you wanted to enjoy your semester break as opposed to recovering through it!?!?!? ?

Yes! I am in a masters program so I had to do this on my semester break. Work will always be there but I'm not screwing up my MPH!

I am taking 2 weeks. Even if I don't NEED it, I deserve some peace and quiet. And it's right over Christmas so it works out well! I have heard of many who feel 1 week is enough and a few who have gone back as soon as you want to and were just fine.

I will be on clear liquids the day before surgery also. I'm chugging along now with my shakes and broths etc. Hoping that last day of clears will pass quickly!!! I'll try to stay busy at work!

I am constantly drinking water but probably not getting 128! Probably in the range of 80ish. I'm alternating Premier days and yogurt days as per my doc, which helps. Then liquids next Tuesday and BAM, surgery day!!!!

...and oddly not hungry. I definitely feel like I'm missing something, but not necessarily food. I'm a little bit tired, but mostly just fine. A few pounds dropped off, but Premier stops me up like no tomorrow. So what I'm saying is......NOT SO BAD!!!

Happy belated birthday, skinny bidge!!!! ?

Just had my "last meal" as liquids start tomorrow. Had a steak w mushrooms and onions. Maybe 3 tiny little baby potatoes. Was soooooooo full. I'm also have a glass or two of chardonnay. So sue me! I'm so ready for liquid phase and then SURGERY! Dang it, lets GO!!!!

I'm 52! Getting sleeved on the 12th and I expect to lose just like a youngster! Speaking my future truth!

Today I'm looking forward to: Not feeling fat Buying small clothes Making people wonder how I did it Seeing an old boyfriend by chance while looking all slim and gorgeous Working out without a huge tshirt on to cover all my stuff Wearing full seat riding breeches that fit and don't look like 10 pounds of sausage in a 9 pound bag

I'm 11 days away! Start my liquids on Tuesday! I'm so excited! I've spent a goodly amount of time looking at the post op forum before and afters, getting psyched up!! Proud of all who have gone before!!!

Had my pre-op and pre-anesthesia appointments this morning! All is good to go for the 12th! Start liquids on 12/04, not looking forward to that, but it is what it is! Let's get this show on the road!!!!!!! ?

What a thoughtful, great idea! I will do the same. My daughter is a bartender on the side and I know how hard she has to hustle!

Can't wait to hear back!
