Landonsmommy how are your chest pains and what is that from? Does anyone know? I've not heard of that and she said several people have had chest pain. I've only heard of gas pains is it from that maybe?

Yes it's probably gas. Walking usually helps. Good luck.

So hey hey September members how is your day going? Where are you in your pre op eating? Thoughts? Fears?

My sugery date is 9/12 and I'am following my 2 weeks Pre Op diet because my doctor says I need to lose 10 pounds. So far I lost 8 pounds. I thought following that crucial that I'd starve my myself but I'm getting use to start eating healthy. This morning I had a hard boiled egg with wheat toast. For lunch I had boiled carrots and some grilled shrimps. With no salt no seasoning. For dinner scrambled eggs with green peppers and a small slice of low fat cheese. My Mom is so awesome! She came home from the health store and purchased protein vanilla shakes and a soy protein powder container. She is so sweet. She said she wanted to start to get the liquid diet week ready after my sugery. My family are eating the same like me. I guess they all gonna loose weight too :-)

I am at the phyc eval. Any advise? I'm nervous I may say the wrong thing and she says I can't have surgery.

Before I went to see the Phsy my friends who had the sugery told me not to say you are depressed. Well despite of the problems I have with my daughter and my gjob I told him the truth. I mean I'm not depressed but concerned for my health and I had to be selfish and do me. I expressed my myself how I want my future to be. He said to me that having this surgery will be a big transformation and there will be times that I may get depressed. Overall he said that I'am a strong woman and I'am fit and ready for this. Allelujah!!! @ jeremysmoma, you will do fine. Don't worry.

Hey everyone I was going to ask about everyones post op dites like how long do you have to do liquids and so on I have two weeks of clear liquids then stage one soft foods for two weeks then I'm good to go for stage two of soft food then I can have whatever I want. So let me know how your drs do it!

So my surgery is monday morning at 9am. I am excited but very hungry. I have been on liquified pureed food all week and doing clear liquid for 2 days before. So broth and popsicles...applesauce to curb the need for texture. I have been cleaning like crazy today getting my house clean enough to survive my down time. With six kiddos, it can never be to clean. I cleaned out my closet and dressers. I am ready for the new change but very nervous... I am ready to sign over my paycheck for just one bite of a Bologna sandwich.. Just one more day!!

One more woohoo!!! I don't know how you do it girl I have a four year old and no matter what in do he messes up this house but he is old enough now that he can help me so that's nice I'm on liquids also but it's by choice I am worried about my liver so I am just kind of doing it after the first few day it started I make me feel kind of zen like maybe I am just loopy from lack of food!!

Yay!! Im so excited I can't sleep I go in Monday @5:30!! Went shopping for post op diet bags packed! I hope all our surgeons have had a nice restful relaxing weekend and are at their Best Monday by Monday afternoon we shall become post-opers!! I'm hoping to feel well enough to post an update Goodnite y'all

Im on clear liquids for three days after surgery then after that i can add milk and other "full liquids", which i follow for two weeks. After two weeks i get soft food. At four week some solid. Then i can add everything gradually at six weeks.

I bet full liquids are gong to be looking pretty nice after doing my time with the clear ones!! At this point I am kind of scared to way anything I wonder if other people besides me where like that I am just scared about even thinking about eating after the surgery!!
