I amin my pre-op phase, I have surgery in 9 days. I have been drinking about 2 protein drinks a day sometimes 3 each containing 40grams of protein. I started adding clear fiber to my shakes to help...
Dang I thought the pre-op was hard now I'm worrying that I will not make it thru the post-op. I thought the part of your stomach they cut out was the part that made you feel hungry??? But obviously...
I agree Christy! Everyone has the right to an opinion! But God gave us all the intelligence to make our own choices!
Thank you for all the helpful informatio! I think I will stay in the recovery house, I like the 24/7 care and medication! Best wishes on the rest of your recovery!
I understand your need or addiction to smoking. I am a smoker and it is so hard to quit while you are giving up food! But if you are only a social smoker and have been almost a month without smoking....
Wow really! Heck I'm going just for the pampering! LOl just kidding!
Thank you so much! So the give the pain meds and nausea meds in the recovery house thru IV or do you have to go to the clinic to get them?
No I was considering staying in the hotel because another girl I met on here is having her surgery same day and she is bringing a guest and Louise told her there may not be room at the recovery house...
Please tell me if I have heard correctly that if you stay in the hotel you have to travel back to the recovery house to get pain and nausea meds in your IV. They don't give you meds to take to hotel...
I am so happy things are going so well! Congrats! Keep us posted!

Did you do the pro-op liquid diet for 2 weeks. Did you cheat on it at all? Please be honest, I am having a really hard time not eating anything at all.
Thank you Julie for the details of your experience. It will help those of us who are awaiting our surgery date! Hope you are feeling better now! Do you feel like since you stayed at the hotel instead...
Thank you al for incouraging me! It really helps. I am now doing more protien in my drinks and it is helping a lot. I start complete liquids tomorrow and am really gonna miss the salad. I had to...
Just wanted to give my body time to adjust to eating less so when I started all liquids maybe it wouldn't be so hard. Doctor said 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet. Have been told its to shrink the liver so...
Good luck, all will go well! Prayers for a smooth surgery and recovery for you!
