I only planned a week but that is because we work Monday-thurs but I hope to be able to do other things by Thursday

Ok guys it is go time! Surgical wash done bag packed to stay with my dad and nausea patch on! Now to try to get a good nights rest for surgery in the morning!!! Good luck to all those going in with me tomorrow!!! And thanks for being the best support group ever!!!

Are you staying the night or being discharged? I am being discharged so comfy pjs for me and a blanket and pillow for the ride home

Tomorrow at 5:30 as well!!! I have not cheated a single time on the pre op diet of 3 shakes and clear liquid since 8/31 and have lost 23 pounds…

I have one in shorts and a swimsuit top from front and side with arms out

I just tap the message and the option to quote comes up but I use a cell phone.

Welcome! Are you excited? I am the 12th as well!

You got this girl. I thought mine was going to be awful but I am in the home stretch now! Last day of meal replacement shakes, clear liquid tomorrow and surgery Monday!!!

If you are staying hungry I would definitely suggest trying an actual meal replacement shake like the Bariatric advantage. I am only allowed 3 of those per day and clear liquids. Monday is surgery day and I have not cried or died yet so it is definitely something to look into.

What kind of shakes are you drinking. I am having to do the Bariatric meal replacement shakes. They are expensive but keep you full longer!

I’m out patient As well. My doctor said it pretty well depends on how far away from the hospital you live.

I have not managed to do all three shakes… I have not cheated but they are kind of making me sick at this point.

It will get harder… day1-3 were a breeze all went downhill after that!

Mine was like a whole week… I ate all the foods I loved!

Lots of positive vibes for a safe and successful surgery and a fast recovery! My kiddo is actually trying to be independent and fend for herself so it has not been too bad actually! Granted she is living off chicken nuggets and pizza and whatever her boyfriend decides to feed her on date nights. I am proud of her.

Starting day 8 of the pre op diet. No energy and lots of headaches but I am still hanging in and have not cheated! So I feel accomplished! As of yesterday I am down 11 pounds!

Girl I understand m! I am a single mom sometimes you just have to do what you have to do and pray for the best! Luckily mine are grown now but I had surgeries when they were younger and it was definitely a challenge!

This forum should be open forever more! We will all need support in the coming days, weeks, months!!! My mother had the lap band as well with no results. Come to find out hers had been ruptured the entire time! We will all be here to support you through your journey!

Oh lord I was thinking I was the only one with a strict doctor! So far the biggest issue is lack of sugar and feeling weak. And for the love of all things holy don’t stand up too fast!!!

Yours might not be so bad you have to remember I am on shakes only and clear liquid.

Day 5 and I was planning on kayaking today but my body and the weather are not cooperating. My boyfriend looked at me and said I had no color to me but I am here and not hungry just no energy. Maybe I will adjust soon!

Day 4 of the pre op diet! I am tired of shakes and popsicles!!! I want hot wings so bad!!! That is all…

And how do we get past this? How long does it last? It doesn’t sound fun…

The only caffeine I am really used to is a cup of green tea in the morning. I am leaning towards it being more the lack of sugar.
