May Surgery Dates???

[ANewMe428 125]

The pre op for me was hell. I had 3weeks of liquids. But was able to eat egg whites & 4oz of boneless skinless chicken breast 1/2the time. I lost 23lbs in 3weeks. That was great but the hunger headaches were unbearable. By day 5 it started getting better. sugar free popsicles, sf Jello & crystal light saved my life. U can do it!

My surgery is May 29th. I am required to do a 2 week liquid diet as prep. I'm on day 2 and I'm having such a hard time. Anybody else have to do a prep or currently doing their liquid diet?

The Pre-op diet is tough!! The first week was very hard for me, the second week was a breeze! You can do it! I was banded 10 days ago and have lost 47 pounds since I called to set up my consultation! Recently 16 pounds on the Pre-op diet and 11 since surgery! My blood pressure medicine was cut in half today, might be off of it in 2 weeks! It's tough but it's worth it!! Hang in there!!

On I'm wondering from the newly banded ones every time I try to eat usually 1/2 a cup of broth or drink my Protein Shakes a few minutes after I get really nauseated. I've started just sipping on some anti nausea meds after I eat. Is this normal?

I haven't had any nausea whatsoever since surgery.. But, I know that most (or at least some) people do have it. I will say that when I first started drinking Protein Shakes I had to take it very slow because they filled me up so fast. Good luck! Hopefully someone else can help

I'm probably late in finding out about this amazing meal, but if you are in the mushy food stage the "lasagna bowl" is so yummy (and I'm a picky eater). Mix 1/4 c spaghetti sauce and 1/4 c cottage cheese and microwave for 20 seconds. Then sprinkle 1/4 c mozzarella cheese and a little Parmesan cheese. Microwave for another 20 seconds. I wish I would have known about this a week ago! Enjoy!

Greetings from the otherside!!! I was banded this morning,,, biggest issue is sore throat from the breathing tube... But it's getting better already... FYI fro those who are not banded yet. I read on here that some have requested the nausea patch, but I forgot to.... But to my surprise, my doctor does it automatically!!! I have had no nausea what so ever yet... I definitely recommend asking for one!!!

I texted my husband immediately after I saw the recipe so he got everything for me haha. I don't feel like eating at all but I need to make an effort and eat some at least. I'm going to disappear in a couple of months if I continue this way

Just be careful to chew the cheese as much as you can so it doesn't get stuck. Newbies like us need to be very careful. I read all about people's stuck episodes and it scares me to death!

I couldn't eat it! I'm just so nauseous every time I smell something is not a Soup, I tried one little spoon and I had to stand up to get my nauseous medicine. I shouldn't get that concern since I'm only 1 week prep op and tonight I can start my mushed foods, but it feels bad I prefer not to eat at this point, just Water.
