I've had a surgery before so that was reassuring but post op I did celebrate being alive, lol. It also motivated me to get up and walk, and to get over my stubborn self in the hospital. I didn't want to add to the risk of the surgery. That risk motivates me now, so calculate the risk and conquer your fears. Good luck -

Good luck, my doc gave me a preventative gallstone med post -op so I will take it religiously. Maybe we need more healthy fats in our diet. -
What was uour system for getting in fluids the first week out?
paulapep replied to Shiner86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hot passion tea sweeten with monk sugar (splenda product) this morning worked for me, I drank nearly 7 oz in a sitting. I read somewhere on here to drink hot lemon tea in the am since the stomach is more swollen overnight from saliva. Yesterday my tummy felt like a swollen mess with all my Protein shakes so might do a few more warm liquids today. -

72 calories but not sure if predigested protein is as complete as whey . Need a nutritionist advice on this -
I am going monday, june 9th. I'm watching youtube videos. Really enjoyed Matthew Weiner videos, and first week post-op videos are really good. I can tolerate pain for 1- 3 days, lets hope. Guess when I get nervous, I plan, so bought some liquids etc. Need to get isopure low carb, maybe grape and pineapple flavor. Anyway can't wait!!!

I am pre-op so thanks for the warning. I had to buy 250mg simethicone capsules last week for bad pain so I think thats a warning of how bad it can be. Surgery date june 9th
