I am on day 9 of my preop diet and my surgery is a week from today. I have never wanted a Peanut Butter and jelly sandwhich more than right now. I just want some carbs!!! And it's my birthday and I can't even have a piece of cake. :unsure:

I just wanted to vent a little. Thanks for listening. :smile2:

Happy Birthday to You!! :unsure:

Hang in there! Sticking to the pre-op is important. I admire someone who'd schedule it during b'day time. Me, I'd sell my soul for b'day cake, with lots of roses. And lots of calories.

Good luck to you!!!

I'm sorry that this birthday is such a bummer for you! I know how I'd feel if I had to go through the liquid hell on my special day.

But just think how skinny minny you will be on your day next year! Remember nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

Thanks for all your support guys!! I got through it ( I took a shower instead of making a PB&J).

Graywolf, I love the "Remember nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!" Haha, so true!!

It looks like I shouldn't be complaining now. After reading some of the other posts in the forum, looks like the hard part is afterwards!

Hi Sarah, my little band-twin!

I am so hearing you babe... I am at the end of day 8, and I swear to GOD all I could see in my head all day was a cartoon picture of a piece of steak dancing around saying "I am delicious! eat me! eat me!" ... I am SO over having no meat, no carbs, no starches, no sugar, etc etc... for gods sake, someone feed me PLEASE.

Okay, now that I've gotten that rant out... yes... we must just stick together, remain focused, our special day will be here in no time. We can do it, Sarah!

Happy birthday to you :-D

        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!!
