Gas-X / Nail polish / A no no in hospital?
ouisie replied to meyouus's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had a dark polish on my nails and they had to put the oxygen monitor on my ear lobe instead of my finger. Not fun -
I used to drink well over 100oz a day and now I'm 3 weeks post op and struggling to get 64oz. If I don't take little sips I too have pain. I think I'm so used to guzzling I forget and drink too much.

I think every pre-op diet is a little different. Mine was only clear liquids and the 4 protein shakes per day. My coworker's husband had surgery a month before me from the same doctor and he was able to have low fat yogurt, cottage cheese and certain veggies in addition to the liquids. I stuck with the liquid diet and lost 13lbs before my surgery. Check with your dietician.

I doing pretty good too. I also had hernia repair. I'm doing good on my water about 70oz a day. I'm able to eat non fat yogurt and smashed cottage cheese. I've had some pureed pears too. I'm dealing with some constipation but other than that feeling good. It's great we're all doing so well.

Chewable Multi Vitamins
ouisie replied to BetterMEsoon's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon and dietician recommends Celebrate vitamins. They gave me samples including different flavors and they aren't bad. -
I'm having my surgery March 16th in Nor Cal. Getting excited and scared. I only took one week off work. My surgeon said I should be fine since I have a desk job. It's great there are so many of us having it done so close together.

My 2 week pre-op liquid diet started March 2nd and the week before I had all my favorites; Pizza, Mexican, Chinese and Indian. I called them my food funerals. I am on day 4 of my liquid diet and after the first 2 days it's been a lot easier. Congratulations and good luck.

2 weeks pre-op. Starting 2 week liquid diet tomorrow
ouisie posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm having RNY March 16th. I am new to the forum and would appreciate any support I can get. My family and close friends have been great but they're 'normal' weight. What ever that is. I heard the first 2 days of the pre-op liquid are the worst. I also just started my monthly cycle so I'm totally stressing. Any words of encouragement that helped you please send them my way. Thanks -

Day 1 on pre-op diet: success! I think the excitement of being so close helped. It's great knowing there are others going through the same things as me. Beth83 and BetterMEsoon please keep me posted. Congratulations!
