It’s going! Lol Day 4 down. It’s mentally challenging more than anything. With all of the Protein Shakes I can’t say I’m overly hungry or anything but I do miss chewing. Jello and chewing ice pops have been helping a little with that.

Today was a little challenging because I cooked dinner for my family. The first 3 days my husband took over and I avoided being in the room with them while they ate lol

I was getting a little sick of the Premier Protein shakes after 3 days so I switched it up today and had the fairlife shakes. They’re really good! Also liking Gatorade Zero. 17 days to go!

I know it has to be hard especially when you're preparing good for you family. Hang it there your surgery will be here before you know it! I heard the premier clear Protein Water is good, might be worth a try? We don't have much time left!! I can't believe in 16 days we will be getting our surgeries done! We are almost there you got this!!

Hi I could use a buddy too. My surgery for sg is scheduled 4/5. Excited and nervous! My doc office has not been the best at relaying all the info and I am a little overwhelmed at all of the appts. I was told to start a liquid diet 3/29 but I can only have 1 Protein Shake per day. I think that scares me more than anything :). Looking for any friends who can offer any help at all!

I know all of the appts have been so overwhelming, we are almost there!

I would confirm the pre-op liquid diet plan with your doctors office. Did you have to see a nutritionist? I know every plan is different, but mine has me doing 6 Protein Shakes a day. I couldn’t imagine getting through this on only one per day 😱

Hi, @enamio18! I did see a nutritionist for 6 mos. I just got the email from my doc yesterday and it shows 1 shake. Boo.
I am going to do my best, but I did buy a few extra in case I am dying.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
