Celebrate Multivitamin capsules, 18 mg Iron & 1500 Calcium is what I was told. For the first few days only multivitamin so I don't get constipated. My surgery is May 7th.

I am one more night away from surgery...May 5th. I am in Southern California and I have been pursuing the surgery since 2008. Can't believe I am actually a day away. My insurance and medical group required 32 weeks worth of classes and support groups. It was a 3 hour round trip at least once a week but I made it! I am having the bypass and will be kept for a minimum of 48 hours. I am so thankful for this site and to all of you who share your stories. Thanks to you all! Keep sharing and I hope we can continue to help one another through the ups and downs. God Bless You All...

Good Luck Tomorrow, Angelface. My surgery is tomorrow too. I hope everything goes well for both of us!

I'm having my surgery on Monday May 12th. I've been on the liquid diet for 7 days...yesterday I had cottage cheese and an Atkins Meal so i cheated. I guess it wasn't a bad cheat but back on the wagon today. I was just to HUNGRY and felt like i was going to puke all day so i had a little chicken and green Beans. 7 Days till surgery and i'm nervous and excited at the same time. I've already lost about 10 lbs and have been working out 45 min each day.

I am May 13th in CA. Good luck!

My surgery is May 13th. I just ordered all my Vitamins through dietdirect.com and I also ordered biotin! I'm petrified about losing my hair, other than that I feel pretty good about the whole process.

So I've been on the liquid diet for 7 days..7 more to go. Today I had to get my blood drawn to determine my Blood type. I got weighed too and have lost 15LBS on the liquid diet. Surgery is scheduled for next Monday. I only had a few times where I had to put something in my stomach and did. I ate Atkins meals or a small piece of chicken breast. I'm going to try like heck this week to only drink the liquid diet. I"ve been going to the GYM every morning and walking 2 miles. That has made a HUGE difference and believe it or not i'm enjoying it. I feel soo good afterward and love jamming to my 80's music while walking. So total before surgery i'm down 37LBS. Here is to a good week on the liquid diet!!!BTW I HATE sleeping with the CPAP machine I can't wait to get off that stupid thing!

hahaha! I feel ya on that one!! I'm sick of wearing mine too. Just make sure you don't stop using it abruptly -- the sleep study technician I had said that people can start gaining the weight back if they get off the CPAP before they stop having sleep apnea.
