Im am day 3 into my liquids. Im doing 3 shakes per day, eating sf jello and plain greek yogurts mostly. Also drinking lots of waterand gatorade. Its torture! Yesterday at my job was the chili cookoff that was just nerve wrecking. I made through though. Today ismy preop appt with the surgeon and dietician. Sirgery on the 28th and it can get here quick enough! Im in the worse mood ever my husband and children have advised me they just have to stay out of my way until surgery day because im biting their heads off. Is anyone else dealing with this and how are you easing the cranky feeling?

I haven't noticed any crankiness. I have been having headaches though. A Chilli cook off would have been torture though

My surgery sister! We're twins (28th) lol

I've been experiencing all of the same. I'm actually at my preop appts now. The dr did say sugar free gum was okay for me to kill that urge to chew. My patience has been much thinner with my husband vs my sons. Poor Mr. Jones. I don't eat yogurt so I didn't ask if it was allowed, but maybe I should. The broth and protein are boring but I'm tolerant. I had the sf jello yesterday. Didn't care for it. The upside to this, like you said, I'm down -8 as of this morning. That part made me feel good and I can feel the difference. I'm holding on to that piece of happiness to carry me into surgery on the 28th. My little bit of motivation.

I am experiencing all of what you all are saying. I feel so bad to be so upset when my 1yr old cries. Hubby stays clear. Lol. But he is a sweetie. He is doing liquids with me so I wouldn't be alone. Today's is my 1yr birthday. I'm taking cupcakes to his daycare. That will be torture. I'm going armed with water and a shake. I'm just thinking 4 more days!!!

We are surgery twins! Lol, I was wondering hadnt seen anyone post that they were having it on the 28th. By the time I left the doctor and hospital I came home and tried to do homework. Not happening. Im just trying to stay occupied and do have the sugar free gum on hand so I can kill the chew craving. Weve got thos so just hang in there it will be done before we know!

well I'm now 24 hours post op . My surgery ran late because ths OR was running behind. Didnt get into recovery until about 7pm. Woke up in a lot of pain, but my doc gives his patients morphine PCA pumps. Got to a room about 11:00 p m. I have 2 drains and 3 ports. Tummy is numb. Pain is better. I am walking with less pain. I am currently laying on my hospital bed comfortably watching Forest Gump. Lol. The first 18 hours are rough but it does get better.

I am also the 28th and trying to do homework too keep my mind off of surgery but not working out!!

I met with surgeon today and found out I might end up with the sleeve instead if gastric bypass. It has to do with current hernia and being able to move the intestines around.

I can say I was disappointed I feel like I shouldn't be, I am still receiving WLS but just the chance worries me.

Hopefully everyone is doing great pre-op and post-op
