Just got the my date today, Sept. 21st - I'm excited and nervous all at once! Having a date makes this whole journey so real. Up to now I was just following instructions and now it like... WOW, this really is happening NOW!

Surgery went very well. I found out I also had a hiatal hernia that was repaired at same time. I have never been able to use sugar free anything so as soon as I was started on sugar free jello I started having stomach pain. It took me about 24 hours to realize what the problem was. I talked the nurse into letting me eat regular jello. Within 6 hours the stomach pain was gone. My doctor didn't seem to believe me and wasn't happy that I had been eating regular jello, but I'm the one suffering so I did it on my own. I experienced the same pain when I began my 2 week liquid diet with Carnation Instant Breakfast. It took me 2 days to realize what was causing my new stomach pain. I'm sure I won't loose as much or as fast but I can't handle the pain. I had to stay 2 nights because I wasn't able to get down as much liquid as they required. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend. We're just kicking back at the house watching movies & taking walks daily.

Glad to know everything went well and they were able to make the necessary changes to alleviate your pain. Congrats on your surgery!

My date is September 21st also!!!!!

Sept 21st as well. It's been 5 months since the start of this journey and it's hard to believe surgery is two weeks away.

Good luck on your diet!

Today is my last day on mine, surgery tomorrow. I had a nightmare that we stopped at McDonald's on the way to the hospital for breakfast tacos.

I just had mine September 2nd!

How are you doing today, Debs528?

Day 2 of pre-op diet: I sipped my peotein shake as slow as possible, started around 7am, finished it about 9am.... it's 10:30am and I'm starving! :"(

So most of you have to start the pre-op diet a week before or something? I'm supposed to do mine 2 days before.
