I am having surgery in two days. I am nervous, yet excited. I am very ready to start this new chapter in my life. I know it isn't going to be easy and it's a learning process but hopefully I can learn from everyone else's experiences. I am on the pre liquid diet right now, I only had to do it for a week. By day three, I was starting to get a little agravated with it and on day four I did cheat a little, I just hope that it doesn't keep me from having my surgery. I took some appetitie suppressant pills that I had already and that has really helped me to stay on track today. I am allowed to have low fat creamed soups made with skim milk, sugar free jello,pudding & popsicles, beef or chicken bouillon, sugar free juices and my protein shakes made with skim milk. I also had a shake today with diet A & W root beer, 4 ice cubes and 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder. It tasted just like a rootbeer float and helped to break up the monotomy of all of the other liquids. I wish the best of luck to all the other "banders" out there and I am looking forward to sharing this journey with everyone:)

I had surgery on July 15th and also had cheated on July10th the day of my anniversary...no worries. My surgery went very well and I feel great today. Only took the smallest amount of liquid paid medication for about 3 days and my incisions are healing perfectly. Surgery was a 7:30am, I was in recovery by 8am and sent home at 1pm. It was great so far. Good Luck to you.

Thank you. Glad to hear that all has went well for you:)

Had surgery this morning and all went well. Just some soreness but no real pain yet and no vomiting or nausea either:) Did have to have a hiatal hernia repair which resulted in a couple of more incisions but no big deal. Have not had to take any phenergan or lortab elixir yet either.
