February 6, 201511 yr Popular Post I have finally gotten my surgery date which will be on April 1st 2015. I am so excited. I have some time to prepare a little more but it has finally become real. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Getting that date is a wonderful feeling.

They took me off puree food and said just clear liquids until I see the Dr.How come you were taken off puree? I am having trouble eating and drinking. I feel full and bloated so it hurts even to drink. I have not ate since Breakfast. Dr wants me on clear liquids until he sees me so he can figure out what's going on. I see him tomorrow morning. My sugar is already dropping from not eating or drinking.
April 16, 201511 yr @@kwcrnp, Eating is a little challenge for me. I'm sticking to my diet but it doesn't stop my brain from wanting the foods that got me here in the first place. Barely hungry in my stomach but in my mind I'm starving. I called my nutritionist to vent and she was very understanding by explaining that once my weight start coming off this will all be worth it and to continue to stay focus.

April 16, 201511 yr My surgery is tomorrow Can anyone that has done it tell me How bad is it... Am so nerves i had my surgery on april 2nd, i was not in too much pain after. i think it was just the soreness but they give you pain meds. take the pain meds to avoid needing them asap and then taking an hour for them to kick in. I had alot of ice chips which helped. good luck

April 17, 201511 yr It is different from each doctor of how long you have to do the liquid diet before surgery. I wish I knew why each doctor seeing things different. I went for my preregistration today April 16. Surgery is one week away on April 23 and I have been doing liquids one week and lost 15 pounds. I am now 259 pounds. I am getting excited but so nervous.

April 17, 201511 yr What should I pack for the hospital? My doctor said I will be in the hospital for 4-5 days. Is that right? Is just preparing me for worst case scenario?
