I know I saw several people getting sleeved on August 6th like me. I began my pre-op liquid diet today and am getting super excited and nervous!!!

What is your pre-op diet like, did you eat any of your favorite foods last week (I know I had a few meals of my favorites), what do you find most exciting/most scary?

Day 4...not feeling so hot... I'm not even hungry anymore for the protein shakes... I feel like they make me sick... I'm having a tough day please help... On the verge of crying..

:'(

I am on day 6 of pre-op diet......It is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be...I was miserable the first few days....I am allowed 3 carnation instant with simply smart milk' date=' 1 small serving of fruit a day, 1 yogurt or ff ss pudding, Popsicles, and Jello...bought the variety pack of shakes but I only like the chocolate...to top it all off..it is that time of the month and I am backed up (tmi sorry)....anyone else having issues?[/quote']

Omg me too! The aunt flow visiting right now doesn't help.. I want to cry.. I feel like I'm going to **** my pants and throw up all at once... The Protein shakes are making me sick..

I think I am getting nervous the 6 is coming fast!!!!

I'm totally at peace with the surgery - the scary part for me was the liquid diet, and that's almost over.

Hang in there. What brand of shakes are you drinking? Have you tried a different brand? How's your Water, are you drinking enough fluids? Ask your doctor if you can you switch a shake for an Isopure clear liquid....they're sort of like Gatorade....but protein

I've lost my appetite....for anything...it's a chore to get in that last meal....Good luck....we're here for ya!

Thank you for the support definitely needed! I'm going to call tomorrow to ask... I don't think it will be a problem. To be honest... I haven't done that good with the Water... Bc I'm afraid of getting sick. I have been doing the 3 whey Protein Shakes and that's it...And maybe a sf Jello. I know... It's bad..

Sounds like you may have found your culprit.....you need water/liquids....I'm typically the queen of dehydration...not only should you feel better, the anesthesiologist will have an easier time getting the IV in if you are hydrated (I've had my veins dry up when having blood drawn--very scary).....I aim for 100 ounces of liquids per day during pre-op.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

I think so too... Lol I'm going to drink and be sloshy.. Lol

It has, thank you very much!

5 days till surgery. Feeling good. My husband is sick with a sore throat. He better stay away. I can't afford to get sick.

Two days before I leave for Houston! Pre-op on Monday, surgery on Tuesday. Trying not to dwell on it though!

I canot believe that next Tuesday is surgery day!!! I will leave for Tennessee on Sunday and then have a couple of appointments on Monday along with pre-op tests, admittance into hospital on Monday night, go to pre-op at 12:30 p.m., surgery at 2:00 p.m. and then recovery and back to the room.

Freaking out a bit....really freaking out a bit. I've been through 4 surgeries with one of those being laproscopic(?), two abdominal surgeries and one not. But I am still freaking out about being put under and not waking up. Any words of wisdom and comfort???

Thanks!!!

I'm freaking out too...seems like every day now there's someone with a story about a several month long hospital stay due to leaks and complications. Makes me very nervous!

Where at you having your surgery? I am having mine in Tuesday also at Blount Memorial in Maryville, TN

_{I am having mine in Murfreesboro, TN.}

Is anyone else having trouble getting in all of their shakes/meals? My preop consists of 3 protein drinks & 2 cups of plain yogurt......and for a couple of days I've missed one of the shakes.

I've been practicing taking small bites with the yogurt.....yesterday it took me 45 minutes to eat 1/2 a cup of yogurt---then I was full (or uninterested, don't know which), but I couldn't take another bite...and had to put the remainder in the fridge for later. Anyone else experience this? Thanks.
