It is sooo hard to do it! They wanted me drinking a gallon, and I can barely do half lol. I can tell you that each day I am getting more and more in. What I am scared of though is I have NO appetite, and just smelling food makes me ill. I have to force myself to eat something. Yesterday I ate 3 pieces of cheese for bfast, nothing at lunch and like 5 small shrimp at dinner! Do you have an appetite at all, has the gas subsided for you yet?

Sorry to hear about the yeast issue, luckily I have only had one in my entire lifetime and yeah wouldn't want to go through that again. I had my band installed 12/18 and it is currently empty, I have lost 41 lbs and darn I wish I could eat something with texture. I can barely finish a jello cup, and I tried eating creamy soup and after about 3-4 bites I am stuffed. I tried going to work today and left after 5 hours with horrible chest pains, called the Dr, he thinks my stomach is still really swollen so I came home took some Maalox and liquid tylenol and slept for 5 hours. I am getting used to the constant weightloss I am not looking forward to when it slows down. Incision pain and almost completley gone though! Good luck to all and their journey.:biggrin: -

Thanks, mine must be really tough then, I am going to call them Monday and see if I can go to full liquids, if I smell broth, I will vomit lol. I am already seeing the weight loss, I was 321 back on 12/04, and I am now 289. It is sooo exciting. I think I over did it today, I got a burst of energy, went shopping, did some cleaning and even did my hair and now I am hurting for some reason. I just can't wait till I am pain free!

Sure no problem, today the gas was finally bearable. I did find it easier to get up and down. I am starting to get an appetite but my Dr has me on clear liquids for TWO weeks ugh. What diet does your dr have you on? Did you stay overnight?

Down 95lbs. Best friends.

Surgery 12/18 any tips on the pro -op diet
tallnthyckldy77 replied to tallnthyckldy77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Thank you all so much for the info, I started my optifast today and so far I am ok, I am just trying my best to ignore the smell of my fellow co-worker's lunches lol. I just keep thinking of the ending results if I stick to it and that is getting my through. A co-worker had suggested to me (she had her's done in May) that I mix the vanilla optifast with either black coffee or a sugar free orange popcicle. I am going to try that tonight. Dr. Rhenke in Pasadena, Fl is doing my surgery. :wink2: -
