Hi, my name is Jerry. I am a married police officer from Missouri. I am on day two of the preop liquid diet and my head is about to explode. I am peeing more than I did in college at a keg party. I was looking for ways to make this diet a little less painful and found these forums. So hi! :smile2: My surgery is Aug. 10 2009!

Hi Jerry. You are so funny. Pre-op diets can be torturous but well worth it. Keep up the good work. You will be glad you did.

Welcome, Jerry! I was lucky (as were those around me), my pre-op diet wasn't all liquid. Glad you have a sense of humor about it :thumbup:

welcome jerry....pre-op is really a short period of time (think of only "one day at a time") and the results you will get from the band are more then worth it.....

good luck on your surgery

Hey thanks guys. I was at the hospital today doing the PFT, X-ray, EKG and Blood work. I had a meeting with my nutritionist also Not sure I trust her, skinny little thing, like going to a bald barber, no respect for the work. Just kidding she was very helpful. Anyway I have a meeting with Doc on monday and surgery sched. on the following monday. The liquid diet is getting better so I am gonna be fine there. I am not scared about the surgery I am excited, I want my life back.

Hi Jerry,

I am in the same place you are. My surgery is Aug11th and I'm sick of this diet so far but keeping positive. Sounds like you're doing the on-line support thing too. I hope it works, I am a new member as of today as well.

All the best.

Just got back from seeing the doc, all systems go for next monday! On a side note I have lost 18lbs since starting clear liquid diet last monday!

Hi Jerry.........

it will soon all be much better.....
