I can't believe it's the eve of my surgery. 4 years in the making. So looking forward to a new beginning. Drinking my broth wondering what else I can drink. Please pipe in with suggestions.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FELLOW PRE & POST BANNERS!!!!

Best wishes for a successful surgery. Pre op I was only allowed my protien shakes, water, sodium free broth and decaf coffee and tea.... . Oh and my salvation sugar free Popsicles

Good luck tomorrow. The beginning of the true journey.

Cheers & good luck in your journey. My own Bandaversary now places me into my NINTH year postOp!!!!

As I recall--ever so long ago---the first 4 days I couldn't sip a whole cup of tea before it cooled. It took all day to get my 1 liter of Water sipped down.

Eating wasn't an option....not that hunger was an issue at all. And I had a little emotional glitch about day 7 or so.....but ALL has been very very good since!!!

Herbal tea was my friend, and the actual 6 weeks before returning to 'solid food' helped me come to understand the difference between 'hungry' and 'not hungry'.

Cheers to you this fine holiday!!!!

Don't worry, it's a Whole New Life postOp.....and that Life is GOOD!!!!

Excellent post Jack! Truth!

Congrats on the beginning of your journey! I spent my first week drinking Breakfast carnations, Water,diet v8, and sugar free popcicles. Truly I was not even hungry. the liquids kept me satisfied I assume because there was still swelling going on during the healing.

I do suggest some other form of Protein drink then the breakfast carnations.my doc suggested them but I later found out that there are many many more options with less sugar in them.

Good luck tomorrow! Trust everyone on the sugar free Popsicles. I am six days post-op and I think I am addicted. LOL

Good Luck . U are going to think In The very near future how glad u are this part is over , but don't forget it, it's what is keeping me on track. Banded 4/30/12. Started 272.8 down to 187. Don't know u jack but agree , Great Post

Thank you everyone. Less than 4 hrs away. Made it they the liquid diet hanging on this headache but I'm finally here. I'm so excited that I don't even care about my headache. Now I'm praying for a speedy recovery. Thanks for all the encouragement. I love this forum I only wish I found it earlier since only a handful of people know. Talk to you all soon.
