You can do it! It will be so worth it in the end! You're almost there!

to be honest with you I don't want anything but water I am super thirsty and I have had no issues getting the needed amount in I am not hungry at all and they gave me crystal lite I the hospital it was god awful sweet I haven't tried it at home yet maybe tomorrow

Surgery was oct 3 feeling pretty good some soreness. Down 28 pounds from surgery. As of Monday doc told me soft foods.

I had my surgery on 11th October. I was in hospital for three days and thy sent me home last night around 8/9. The pain I got when I was in the hospital wasn't too bad at all and the surgeons said it was a textbook operation but coming home was awful. The pain the gas, lack of sleep was terrible. I'm walking more and I'm going to try a protein shake as I've just had lots of ice chips and water!!! I believe it's going to be worth it but the pain recently is intense!!!

It was really bad for me last night for me its a ripping pain on my left side it is so sharp and long lasting and it radiates up into my breast last night was awful I actually have a pretty high pain tolerance and avoid pain meds like the plague last night I ended up taking two Vicodin and after about an hour and a half the pain had subsided enough for me to doze never really sleep but doze it was something

Hi all, I’m due to have surgery on Monday morning. Feeling very anxious about it all even though I’ve have theband fitted and then removed few months back. I’m nervous even more so because my pre op diet has been a bit, erm, “slack”! Hope you’re recovery continues and if you have any tips, I’d love to hear them! X

I hope you all feel better soon! Thank you for updating us on your progress [emoji1417]
I am now terrified [emoji23]

I'm October 16th!

17 here ready

Day 10 on all liquid diet and surgery on 10/17. Getting kinda tired of the all liquid but almost there. I suppose I have to look forward ton2 weeks all liquid after surgery as well ouch

I am also on day 10 of all liquid diet and it's HARD and my surgery isn't till Oct 26 ....but hey lost 9.8 lbs in a week on liquids so that's some extra motivation there! We will make it!

I'm taking 5 weeks which includes the 3-day Thanksgiving break. My doc recommends 4 weeks, but I have the paid time available, so I'm taking it.

I have one more liquid diet week to go. I'm not drinking as much as I should today. I'll work better at it tomorrow.

Does anyone have the drain tube? I'm getting one and I heard it floats freely inside and can poke the insides. I meet with my doc in a few days, so I'll be sure to mention my concern. I learned about the tube last week at my pre-op class. [emoji15]

You will do great!! Angelic! I will not have a drain tube i am told. i MEET WITH MY SURGEON ON WEDNESDAY AND I START MY 2 WEEK PRE OP DIET TOMORROW!! READY TO GET THAT PART OVER WITH LOL

Well, tomorrow's the big day. Not as nervous as I thought I'd be today. Just ready to get past surgery and start healing.
