Hello Mona,

I am having my surgery the same day as you are, 4/25. I am so excited and I am ready to get moving...lets keep in touch.

I will be thinking of you, have a wonderful day.

Awwww thats great me i am soooooo ready too and this liquid diet is kicking my butt. But it will all be worth it.

That is what is killing me...the liquid protein diet. I have to admit that last week on the 3rd day of the liquid protein diet that I had a HUGE slip-up! I was cranky, tired and stressed out, so of course a hamburger from the corner bar and a "few" onion rings was my "sensible dinner" choice. HUGE MISTAKE!!! After I ate about 1/2 of the burger and about 6 onion rings, I started to feel like I was going to throw up! I actually prayed that I could make myself throw up...which did not happen. Then around 11 pm I started feeling it in my gut...it turned out to be a very long and physically exhausting night. It was NOT worth it and I darn sure learned a great lesson.
So, I am back to my EAS Myoplex low carb 17 grams of protein shakes (100 calories) and I tried the low carb Slim Fast 20 grams of protein drinks, which are quite good.
I have been drinking about a gallon of water every day and trying to get my buns moving by walking around the malls and looking at the clothes. I walked past Lane Bryant and thought to myself...never again! It felt good.

I cheated and ate and ate some sugar free jello...im so scared to screw up...im really ready to be free but lord i sure want some fish tacos

Your pre-op diet sounds much easier than mine. I am on OptiFast. 4 shakes a day. I am allowed maximum 2cups of lettuce, celery, cucumbers a day with vinegar or lemon juice on it. Clear calorie free liquids are also allowed. Yuck! I can't wait till be done the shakes. Less than 3 days!! I too share THE surgery date

 Hi:

So, I had my surgery on 4/25. Let's just say I would not like to go through that again. Am doing ok, stiches itch and hurt somewhat. Having problems with the walking and the drinking liquids. I feel so strange that I am not doing everything right yet.

Not having much gas  or stomach issues, of course, still on the liquid diet. Don't feel hungry, so it is a struggle to drink stuff. I admire your discipline and courage.

Write and let me know how you are doing.

Diane

I have to agree, I am glad that the surgery is over and I definitely would not want to go through it again! It took me 3 days after surgery to pass gas, which made me feel so bloated and uncomfortable.
I came home Saturday evening and I have been able to shower, walk around the house and today I even walked our long driveway.
My husband has been wonderful and spoiling me by warming my blankets in the clothes dryer before bed, it is so cozy.
I was so proud of myself today, I was able to get in 42 ounces of fluids so far and still sipping.
My mom bought me some Ocean Spray 100 % cranberry juice, I almost mixed some with my liquid vitamins, then I thought, "I had better read the label." Sure enough 30 grams of sugar!!! It actually was a juice blend...my hubby can drink it.
Has anyone else had the pleasure of sneezing yet? OUCH!!!

Well i got up walking maybe three hours after surgery....and so far doing great. I am off the blood sugar meds...and walked all the way to CVS and back. I too had the gas problem and im not sure how many oz i am getting in me but what i can say is im not hungry.
