Hey All, I just started my pre-op diet today. After drinking my first protein shake I feel a little sick on the stomach and gas. It could be just that I am nervous and having second thoughts about this whole thing. Just wondering if anyone is feeling like I am....:ohmy:I will have my surgery at the Hurley Center in Flint MI. 9-22-08 at 12noon.....:embaressed_smile::drool:

Hi! I will be in the same boat as you next week. Protein shakes give me extreme gas and belly aches :embaressed_smile: so I don't think you're alone. Hang in there!:cool2:

Your shake is probably high in fiber...until you adjust, fiber can give you a lot of gas. But your body will eventually get accustomed to it. In the meantime, GasX can be your best friend.

I'm getting banded on 9/23/08!!!

In St. petersburg, Florida with Dr. Renhke

I've been on Opti-Fast for one week today, and I actually like it. I haven't been hungry, and I've had no complications.

I'm so psyched about this procedure!

Keep in touch,

I am getting banded on 9-23-08 in Savannah GA. I have been on my pre-op diet 6 days now and have done horrible. I have had a better day today. At some points my mind thinks that I am starving. But it is getting better. I try to keep reminding myself that it will be sooo worth it in the long run. I haven't been 100% but I am trying so that my liver will shrink.
