2 1/2 weeks out and had to spend today in the hospital. Severe dehydration and heart palpitations. I'm having trouble getting my fluids and can't find anything I want to eat, or if there is something that sounds good I can't eat it. Down 25 pounds since surgery but I eat basically nothing and my body is weak. I am a nurse and I know better but I just can't make this eating and drinking thing work. I returned to work in only one week and I think it was to early but I really didn't have a choice. Something's gotta give soon......

Stomach in knots!! Tomorrow is the big day! Nervous and excited all at the same time. Wish me luck, and if you pray..........send them my way. Thanks

Looking for someone in my area that is going thru or has gone thru the surgery. I'm absolutely terrified and have lots of questions. Looking for a bariatric buddy

Are you from Raleigh?

I've thought about that as well.........chewing up and tasting the food then spitting it out!!! Desperate times call for desperate measures........right? Lol

Hey! My surgery is August 9th. Today is my last day off "normal" food. Had my favorite Popeyes chicken tenders for lunch and my husband is taking me out for dinner and then that's it!!! Protein shakes and 1 lean and green meal for 1 week then 1 week liquid diet! I'm nervous and anxious and excited and terrified all in 1. Sending positive thoughts to everyone out there going thru the same thing as I.

Also looking for someone else that is having a Nissen takedown before their bypass.......????

My pre op appt is in the morning and surgery on August 9th!!! Super nervous but finally getting excited!! Liquid diet starts Friday! Better eat while I can .

I too am going to Rex with Dr Enoch's.

August 9th. Raleigh NC

Anyone from the Raleigh NC area?

Put mine off as long as I could because I am absolutely terrified but finally have a surgery date.......August 9th. Fingers crossed and optimistic
