Welcome and congrats on your date! And I feel every bit of your irritation on this diet. I’m on day 4 and it is tough. Not because I’m hungry but because I want to chew. I solved the salty problem by having chicken broth (diluted). Best of luck! I’m complaining about the 10 days and you have to do 3 weeks 🤦🏽‍♀️

Yeah I have been doing too much online research, nervous about getting a leak or having any complications. I have never been sedated and have never spent the night in the hospital, so this is a first for me! LOL

You got this!

So I’ve been reading everyone’s posts about the gas, and how bad it is at the beginning.
I really nervous about it. I have never really been able to burp, sometime a little one just happens but nothing of any substance. So this is a little nerve wracking
Any advice?
My surgery is in a week...

I’m having my GBP July 30th. 39 days and counting! I am so excited and just want the day to get here already. My whole process took about 5 months to complete. Beginning with my first appointment with the surgeon, to the last appointment with him to sign the surgery papers after the insurance approved it. That was late May and the first week of June I was given the surgery date. Y’all keep your heads up and stay strong. 😘

I was under lightly for my upper endoscopy, it wasn’t bad, woke up not knowing anything happened, lol. I’ve never had to spend the night at the hospital either! We have to think about the positive and not the negative. I mean complications are a possibility but we’ve got to believe our surgeons will do the very best they can

Your surgeon didn’t tell you to get gas x? That usually what they give you and tell you to have on hand for the gas. Best of luck!
