Congrats Whillow!

Hi. I'm also 3 days post-op and have had the opposite effect. I have not been able to go since the morning of surgery. Tomorrow I start on the next phase of foods.. I've been snowed in today with my family who have been eating all day. LOL I havent had a big appetite to even want anything. It all smells really good though!

Hi! I am getting banded in the morning!! I'm so anxious, nervous and most of all EXCITED! I cant wait to begin this new journey of my life!

Thats Awesome!! I'm having my surgery in 2 days on feb 4th and cant wait for my journey to begin

Thank everyone for all the info!!

Hi all! I'm just a week away from surgery and I am curious as to what protien you are using or will use during your clear liquid phase post op. I'm having a hard time deciding on one. Please give your opinions Thanks!

WOO HOO!! Congratulations

Something to look forward to...

I am on 5 medifast shakes a day. They come in 6 different flavors and I honestly have to say they're really not so bad.. I'm almost through day 2 and i do have to say that i'm very hungry. My head has been a little fuzzy throughout the day and I definaetly dont have the energy.

Hi.. my surgery is also on Feb 4th! I started my pre-op diet today. I'm on all liquids. My dr. requires the medifast protien shakes. Right now i'm 4 shakes in for the day and I'm feeling a little light headed and weak. I hope it gets easier. Stacey

8 lbs in 3 days is awesome! Good luck with your surgery.. let me know how it goes

Hi. I'm starting my all liquid pre-op diet tomorrow and am a little anxious about it. I feel like i've been eating everything i see today as its going to be my "last meal". Am i the only one who feels or has felt like this?

I've been reading a lot about people getting stuck.. what exactly happens when food gets stuck and how is it cleared? Thanks
