  1. I am one week post op. I am totally struggling. I have diarrhea every time I eat. I talked to my dr. They called in a prescription that cost 7,000, called dificid. I have no energy at all. My regular dr won’t do anything be because he doesn’t want to go against the surgeon. Waiting to hear from my surgeon…
  2. How did surgery go? Are u able to sip anything? Asking cuz I had mine the 24th as well. Not too bad as far as pain goes. How is you pain right now Cindy
  3. May 24th is almost here. The liquid diet is getting tiresome, but excited to move on to next phase. I have tried to stay busy so the time passes quickly but at night is when I struggle. How all the others doing with their surgery date of the 24th?
  4. I think if you stop every 1 1/2 hours and a walk a minute, would help with the circulation and not getting blood clots. My husband is in blood thinners for life- we always stop and stretch our legs to prevent them.
  5. The 24 is my date as well. Trying to keep the anxiety down a bit. But it is exciting!!
  6. How are you feeling? What kind of liquids or purée have you liked so far?
  7. That’s great! What city ? Where are you going to get your surgery?
  8. It sounds like you’ve had a rough go of it. Hope you are feeling a little better each day. I will pray for a great recovery. Mine is in 10 days and getting nervous. I have had a rough surgery 35 years ago, back in the old days (not Bariatric). And it was horrific. Medicine has come along ways. I am so glad they do laparoscopic surgery and have much better pain control . Hang in there it will get better..
  9. Good luck!!! Mine is in 12 days and I am already anxious for it!!
  10. Good luck!!! That is exciting! Let us know how it went!
  11. Hi, good luck tomorrow! I have 2 weeks to go and I am pretty sure giving birth is much more painful, been there all of mine were natural as well. I am excited for you and hoe you have an easy recovery!
  12. Hi, my surgery is May 24th. Started my pre op diet today. Good luck for tomorrow!! Yes it is good to have support friends!
  13. Ok, Thanks! That sounds very stressful .
  14. Why do they cancel surgery?
  15. I am so happy for you!! All the hard work you have done has paid off. I think this is more of changing your mind and lifestyle and you have got this ! Congratulations!
  16. That is awesome!!! Keep up the good work!
  17. Good Luck ! And prayers for quick healing !
  18. That is awesome. How are you feeling? I am nervous for my surgery as it is same day and I will be sent home right after it.
  19. I am starting to find that I like koolaide flavor best. I like the red flavors too. Good luck with your surgery!
  20. Awesome!! Good luck !
  21. That is awesome. I have bought lots of different kinds and when I start my pre op diet on Wed, I will start trying them. I haven’t found many shakes that I like, but the premier clear is good. I haven’t tried the cran grape Protein shot but have some, guess it is time to give them a try. Thanks!
  22. What is your favorite water flavor and brand that is your go to?
  23. Mine is the 24th as well- I am starting the pre op diet in Wed. How about you?
