I would like to thank everyone for their support and for this wonderful site! My surgery is in the morning at 10:30 am. I am excited to start the new book, (not chapter), in my life. I am praying GOD will bring me through the surgery with flying colors as well as the healing process post surgery. I believe GOD who provided these weight loss surgical options to treat obesity. I am doing this for me and no one else. I have to take control of my life, (well GOD has control but you know I will be in sub-control, is that a word? LOL). Anyway, LORD willing I will be checking in with you guys possibly tomorrow night or Wednesday. LUV, LOVE and GOD BLESS all of you!!

Well tell us how ur nausea gets and keep us updated about ur recovery.

We are here to encourage each other.

Keep strong in few days all the discomfort will be history hopefully.

I'm still sipping on crystal light and broth but these gas pains are so uncomfortable. I'm taking pain pills every which helps a lot until the pill wears off. I don't feel nausea unless I smell food or see food...is that normal? My mom made porkchops today for my sis and kids and the smell of it made me so sick to my stomach. I can't wait til the pain is gone for good. I hate feeling uncomfortable! Good luck everyone:-)

Goodluck,, mine is sch for 9-12-12. Prayers for you during the recovery

Hey Girl! I was told that is normal (nausea when smelling food), seriously, I barely watched TV in the hospital because of all those food commercials. I couldnt take it. I have not had any nausea since I've been home from the hospital last week. The cocktails and the patch behind the ear really did help! I have been eating fine!! I hope you are over that hump at this point!

Good Luck to you as well! Your surgery will be here before you know it! It comes sooner than you think!! Are you on a Liquid Protein diet right now?

I start my protein shakes 10 days before surgery,,

I really think that's a good time because 14 days was too long for me, however, I did the best I could most of that post opt diet period. You can do it. First two, three days were rough for me but after that, the hunger and cravings diminished. Having the surgery to look forward to and post success and the results of losing weight before the surgery will both charge you!

I didn't watch tv in the hospital for that same reason every other commercial is about food, red lobster & olive garden should be ashame of themselves.....lol
