Ugh, so many questions... I guess we just have to figure it out as we go.

Are you going to be on a 2 week liquid diet?

Yes, I start on the 10Th. I’ve been slowly cutting back on the calories.. yesterday I had a headache and I think it was the lack of carbs so naturally gravitated towards salty food :(

These forums have been very helpful along my journey and have learned a lot from reading from other’s experiences. It’s nice to have others that are going through it with you

I'm scheduled for October 29. Still not 100% sure I'll go through with it. I've cut out caffeine, diet sodas, and am trying to eat better. But I'm still unsure. Its not the time on the table I'm worried about - its the weeks/months/years after. I mean, if I couldn't stick to healthy foods before now, why would a smaller stomach make me (at least after the initial honeymoon period). I have one more appt with my psychologist before the surgery (someone I've been seeing for awhile), so it will be interesting. Sorry for the stream of consciousness.

Got surgery 10/2. Still in pain, gassy and bloated. I can barely sip broth or eat Jello 😕

I'm Oct. 17th, two weeks away! I'm getting nervous, but I'm not planning to back out now, but I hope

they give me drugs in my IV right away!!

OK, I'm home, after my surgery yesterday (10/3). The medical staff all said I seemed good to go home, and I wasn't going to argue, but I'll be real: getting my 64 ounces tomorrow looks like an insurmountable struggle.

I nearly hurled after the car ride and the walk up stairs, but happily I did not.

Also, they really wanted me to do shots in my stomach, even though I definitely warned the surgeon I wasn't going to be able to do that, so I have to walk extra to make up for not having any blood thinner. It's a little scary.

[JennieJuniper 110]

Oh the shots in the stomach didn’t bother me at all!! Glad you’re home!! And yes stairs are not fun right now lol

God bless you. I'm happy to hear that all went well with your surgery.

Just stick to the diet. Its gruesome and boring, but it will prepare you for the days following surgery.
