Three more weeks till my surgery! Getting close, now!!

Anyone else out there scheduled for July, 2013?

For those of you that the Protein hakes during the pre op diet' date=' did you all still use them post op?[/quote']

Yea. I'm 9 weeks out and while I have drastically reduced the shakes frequency I do still use them. Now that I'm on a regular diet I try to use food intake as much as possible and use shakes if needed.

Mine is July 10. On day 4 of Optifast. Doing ok so far. Did not get to say goodbye to any favourite foods as I got a cancellation and had to start liquid diet as soon as I heard. Probably a good thing :-)

Are you doing pre op diet?

How are you doing Sonia65? Update us when you're feeling up to it!

Hello everyone. Surgery was Wednesday and it went well. I felt pretty good and was walking about quite quickly. Wednesday night was challenging since I threw up blood 4 times. They took blood (several times which was difficult as my veins were not cooperating:-() and were able to rule out internal bleeds so it was just old blood that had leaked out during surgery.

Yesterday I felt a bit sore but only took Tylenol for pain and I walked and sipped and slept all day. Today I came home and I am still walking and napping. Ate oatmeal for breakfast and cottage cheese and yoghurt for supper plus a shake. So all in all doing quite well.

Really hope it continues this way and everyone else is doing well.

Glad to hear it! Sounds like you're doing well now, after the initial scare. Hopefully it'll keep going like this!
