Im September 16th....I havent been in hospital for 22 years to the date and that was for the birth of my twin boys who were born 09/16/91.

This surgery will also be a life changing experience for me!!

Had mine Sept. 6, one week check up on the 12th. No problems at all, but I do have a complaint [emoji3]. I'm still on the liquids until the 27th, I see on here, some people say they go home to grits, oatmeal and soups. I've been sampling meals a little [baked talapia, cabbage, okra very soft foods] when I cook for my family. Am I wrong to taste very small pieces?

Mines is around the corner Sept. 27!!.

Had my band and hernia repair yesterday, sept 14, 2017.

When home from hospital felt like hell. Lots of pain on left side of my body, from abdomen and up through ribcage and into arm, shoulder and neck. Dr and nurse told me it's gas from where the abdomen was expanded and that it should go away soon. Walk more to help.

No appetite, but am making myself try to eat broth, juice, water and jello. Nothing has any taste to me.

Hopefully this will all lead to a much better life around the corner!!

Yes, I had the liquid diet, basically shakes for two meals and then a regular heathy meal. I actually lost 13 pounds doing that! Almost made me wonder if I should have the surgery and just stick to this diet. Then I had just clear liquids for the day before.

What kind of shake did you have?I'm doing my 2 week low carb preop diet prior to my scheduled surgery.

My surgery is Monday the 18th! I am excited to get this done and over with and back home Tuesday or Wednesday. I am having the VSG! Been doing preop diet, lost 8 pounds this last week. Using Jay Robb strawberry protein, can't stand any others at this point and I choose to avoid artificial sweeteners like sucralose as much as possible.

Two protein shakes a day with less than 6 grams of carbs each and 20-30 grams of protein made with water. Then two small meals a day consisting of 3-5 ounces of protein and 1/2 to 1 cup veggies.

I'm on the 26th too! My surgeon was very particular for the pre-op diet.... no Premier Shakes which seems to be popular pre-surgery.... I can have them post surgery. Pre-op, I'm having 4 to 5 Advanced Protein Slimfast Shakes - they are okay - well let's be honest, all protein shakes are pretty terrible - I just so my best to get them down :-)

I am in my 2 preop diet stage an I bought the Premiere Protien shakes which were recommended by my nutritionist an quite a few people on some of the threads an they are not to bad, not chally and very tolerable.

I like the premier protein drinks even post op. That's what saved me preop though. I had a hard time with shakes until I found them.
