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!!

I am scheduled on Sep 10 at 3:30 pm in San Jose' date=' Ca , i can go with out eating that day but no water???[/quote']

I honestly think nerves will be a huge factor.

I don't think you'll be hungry.

Hang in there.

Sep 24 for me in NZ!!!

Does anyone know of a good protein powder that you can add to just water to drink? I am having surgery in MX and only bringing a carry on so I can't take liquids. I know that they provide broth and sf popsicles but I am thinking I should have something with protein for those first couple of days afterwards before I get home. Thanks

Takinski,

Go to the carbesccentials web site and check out the ,earl replacement smoothies and nutritional drinks. They have several flavor and they are my favorite. But only 15 grams protien. But come I'm bottles you can fill, or packets.

That makes me feel terrible also. I had my lap band removed 2 weeks ago. My surgery was scheduled for 3:30pm! Needless to say, I felt like I was in the desert

I'm having surgery Sept. 9 and starting my two week liquid diet today! I did have my food funeral this weekend and it wasn't as wonderful as I wanted it to be! I hope I do good these next two weeks, they will be the longest!

Bleh! Meh!

Day 8 of my 3 week preop liquid diet.. Its odd..I have lost all desire to really drink my shakes or do anything else...in fact even wuen i look at real food..it doesnt bother me right now...its soo odd. In fact i end up having one protein shake for breakfast and end up forgetting to have another shake until dinner...ive been going 7 hours without drinking my shakes....i just dont feel hungry anymore...i feel an emptiness but not hunger..

Guess my body loves low carb. The funny thing is that i havent stepped on a scale for an entire week. Usually i weigh myself everyday but right now.. i have no desire to weigh myself..perhaps its because it doesnt matter wuat the scale says..i still have to be on this diet.

Good morning to all!! My nutrition class is today.

My PAT is tommorrow. Then finally my sleeve date is Sept 5 th.....woohooo????????????????

Anyone getting sleeved on Sept 10th in Atlanta Georgia by Dr Scott Steinberg?
