Today is my day. I do not have to be at the hospital until later in the morning. I expected to wake up dying of thirst since I usually drink 16-24oz of Water as soon as I wake but so far today I am good.

I'm not excited or nervous right now, just kind of numb. Slow starving over a 10 day period will do that :)

You're going to do great! Just remember to walk as much as you can in the hospital and slowly sip your liquids all day. I am 8 days post op, feeling good, and am down 16 pounds! Best of luck to you and prayers for a smooth surgery

Propel Water flavors are good. Hunger is absent for me. I want to eat when I smell food but I realize not that it is not hunger. My stomach doesn't even want the water or Jello. Just keep working on your plan you can do this. Diet snappel, sugar free jello and popcycles, propel, bullion, some of the bariatric Soups and drinks bariatricchoice.com are very good and have Protein. Also diet juice. I'm told to avoid citrus while healing 3 weeks. But sounds like some Dr's approve of the infused waters. You can do this and we ate all here to help u.

We are all here to help you

You are my new surgery buddy lol. I go the 29th. They say I'm still waiting for insurance approval though- nothing like stress of not knowing. That and I requested off work, have someone to cover me, planned it by my menstrual cycle... I could keep going lol so hopefully everything works out. My surgeon requires one week of liquids. That sucks you have to do 2. I start on Wednesday. What have you been drinking... What's a daily menu so I can get some ideas? I'm in Florida where are you? Good luck and keep me posted!

The first couple of days i was in paini and thankfully they hooked me up to a PCA pump (patient controlled administration). Every 8 minutes I could press the button without waiting on the nurse. Unfortunately the next day they put me on crushed oral pain pills. I then felt all the pain even from laying on the operating table so long. Once I got home I felt better. Hospital beds are not comfortable. I haven't threw up but have had nausea. I'm going to try the infused Water. :)

How many days were you in hospital? Were you in or a long time?

That is awesome! I started mine two days ago. This makes day 3. I have been drinking 2 Lean GNC premixed Protein drinks. The flavors I have now are Mint chocolate layer birthday cake and banana cream. They are pretty good. I have also been drinking chicken broth and Water flavored with Mio. I am also allowed 2 Snacks. These range from sugar free Chocolate pudding, Greek light and fit yogurt and sugar free Jello. For dinner I am allowed a bowl of any non-cream based Soup. I am in Texas (DFW area). I am so ready. I met with Dietician today, had my cardiac stress test, Echocardiogram and took my pre-op class. Now just have to buy a few things for after surgery.

Are you feeling super hungry on liquids? Those drinks sound good. I have been using nectar Syntrax the caribbean cooler and fuzzy navel are good mixed with almond milk. And the premier premixed chocolate is pretty good too. How was the stress test did you have to run on a treadmill? Not sure how far id make it....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
