IM SCHEDULED FOR SEPT 12

newgrandma, not sure how you handle first 2 days.

today is day one on my liquid and it start with terrible headache which was gone after 2 pills of Tylenol. And it ending with Nausea and feeling like my vitamins stuck in my throat.

In the evening I was so angry at everyone that all my kids went to bed at 8:00 pm. usually they go to bed at 8:50. But I am in the bad mood. as soon as I see food I feel I will puke.

and I need to feed my kids and husband. and suppose to cook all weekend for guest coming to our house.

I tried RTD isopure alpine flavor and it is not good

I too had a headache and was nauseated on the first day, I also got my period the same day... Yeah you can imagine how pleasant (not)! I was. I also have to cook for my family... But by day 4 I think I'm ok.... I hope

Good luck!

This thread is getting big, but as our September dates approach it is good that we can be there for each other. My surgery is Friday, less than a week to go! Last night I made a huge roast beef dinner for the family who are all up for the weekend. I made myself some cream of mushroom soup. While I was cooking I was afraid that I'd sit there and feel so deprived while everyone else was eating, but instead I found myself thinking, "I'll get used to this. I have a tool now that's going to help me get my life under control," and I just felt so grateful!

Feelsme2, I need to survive by day 4 , yes But I still feel your pain with combination of both unpleasant things... I am sure I can handle that, just don't understand why we are not allowed vegetables. Are you on clear liquid as well?

My surgery is on Friday as well. sometimes I think I am enjoying cooking for my family. but not sure how to handle the time when they are eating I am trying to eat sugar- free jello at the same time at least I would be eating... another idea came to my mind. What if I mix the broth with gelatin. I think it would be good meal as well.

Hi Justine. (been wanting to say hi to you for a while' date=' Justine is my daughters name!) have you known for a while you only have to do 48 hours or was this prescribed because you lost what was requested? I so hope I don't have to do two weeks liquid.[/quote']

Hi there! Thanks for saying hello I don't come across people with the same name very often. .

The 48 hours is just what my doc requires or everyone. I was never asked to lose weight. Quite frankly - I gained 25-30 pounds on that damn 6 month diet - that's what I do- I try and and diet and gain weight. Admittingly- i didn put my heart and soul into it. I gained every single month I went in. Interestingly enough- I lost 4 pounds when I went in to meet my surgeon. Aaaahhh the power of the mind

When is your surgery date? Hard for me to keep track of this thread. I know new grandmother and I share the same date of sept 12.

I have lost 10lbs with 10 to go by Sept 11th. I can't wait. I wish I could have it done tomorrow.

September 20th! Start liquid diet on Thursday.

feels i am on day 4 and i feel good so far i got all my protien supplements i love my homemade broth and i lost a total of 11lbs so i will keep going we can do this girlie.

mcm and scorpian good luck on fridaay dang i am jealous i am tired of waiting for this damn sugery.

justine you lucky (clearing my throat) lol. who is your dr dang. kaiser surgeons dont play they will cancle you if you dont lost the required weight which makes

no sense dang thats why we are getting the surgery. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

peace yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and your surgery is a day before mines. good luck lady

i lost 11lbs yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy i wonder if i had that number when i saw the doc would he still want me to lose more weight. yep he would

Hi everyone. I am scheduled for September 7th. Less than a week away from my new life. I am excited. I got a Jessic London catalog in the mail today. I will be so happy to be able to shop regular size stores and catalogs!

I was scheduled for Sept 12 but my Dr asked me to do the 7th. I agreed. Less days of the liquid diet. I am day 4 and I think I am getting used to it. I had a horrible headache the first two days and was nauseous yesterday but today I feel pretty good. Plus I have lost 6 lbs so at least the low calorie thing is working.

Good luck to everyone. This time next year we will all be new people

I am on day 6 of my liquid diet. It has been fairly easy for me. I am getting SO excited about surgery on Thursday:) Just think how much our lives are changing for the better

So looking forward to being healthy again!

I forgot to add that I have no idea how I did not see this thread! I am on here all the time

welcome sue glad you found us.

well i met my goal guys. that liquid diet works. i am on day 4 and its becoming so easy

WOW what a lot of winners! Sorry for typos but going to send this before I lose it again! LOL

wow beef thanks

my doc is zelada

Ha- thanks for putting that list together. We will have to keep updating it

I went shopping today and even though I'm only required to do 48 hours- I may do one week- which means Wednesday will be the day foru liquid diet. I also bought SF applesauce and pudding- is that what you guys eat on pre op? Oh I bought chicken broth and Greek yogurt and Sf Popsicles. I have premier proteomics shakes too.

Oh my goodness that's a crazy list beefalogal! Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together. It really puts everything into prospective. We are totally not alone in this. And this is just September and people in this forum. There are tons of folks out there that don't know about this group or just read without posting. Totally makes me feel more at peace with myself for having this done.
