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'm September 9th with dr. Kelly in TJ. But I just had to comment because I lived in Fort McMurray for 5 years! Bet you'll never guess where I'm from . Lol. Best of luck to you!

Lol thanks! Same to you! Hmmm I dunno... Maybe Nfld? lol I'm a BC girl born and raised, but had to follow the work and money lol been in Ft Mac since 2004

Day 4 of liquids. Experiencing swollen legs' date=' leg cramps and diarrhea. Any of you had same thing?

I am getting in all my Water and Protein, 1C broth, and all post-op required Vitamins... Not sure why this would lead to leg cramps![/quote']

Not enough potassium in your diet...too much lactic acid... Solution: Stretch...drink chicken broth and if you can..try a little pickle juice-works wonders for cramps.

I hear ya on the diahhreah... ive been going to the bathroom an awful lot..no wonder we lose weight on liquid diet...its all coming out the other end

How is the pre-op diet going for everyone? I find it challenging at night' date=' but otherwise I'm good.

I'm also getting nervous! I think it really hit me that I'll be removing my stomach permanently. I'm still on board of course, just a bit in shock.[/quote']

My dat is sept 4th. Congrats all sept sleepers!

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 17th in TJ Mexico. I have a 3 week liquid diet and I am on day 5. I am so hungry. I have only lost 1lb and that makes me sad. Sometimes I just feel like it is hopeless to lose weight. I will not cheat.
