I just saw the youtube video that husky guy made and he stated he was only sore about a day but this has been 2 days and i have a feeling i will still be in pain tomorrow. Im just wishing my mom hurries up to take me to the store.

The surgeon just called a few minutes ago. He requested me take more hydrocodome and acentaminophe. I am taking 15 ml amd he asked me to increase to 30 and also take G2 or prupel. I need to wait for a ride since i am not suppose to drive. They also said something about potassium and lower electrolytes.

Good luck, just had surgery Nov 9th and it was really good. Some pain for about 5 minutes but thats about it.

I think about that fact that i only have to suffer for a few weeks and then as long as i eat delicious healthy food i will be happy for years to come.

My parents and sister knew when i made up my mind and they were extremely supportive. I told a few coworkers while i was in the process and a few more when i was approved. They have all been supportive and are happy for me. I wont tell coworkers i dont converse with.

My surgery is on Nov 9th and have to be at the hospital at 7:30 am. Cant wait ! Good luck everyone.

Is it me or now that i am on this liquid only pre op diet i have been craving veggies, salmon, basically healthy food. I have thought about when this is over and i can eat solid foods i will only want to get my hands on healthy food. Any one else with the same mindset?

By the way i was not required to be on a supervised diet.

Bcbsnc has been great, at the first appointment i had to have a bmi of over 40 and they only required a surgeon of something excellence which is easy to find. I was not required to lose weight by bcbsnc. my surgeon did require test, psy appointments, nut appointments. My information was sent to bcbsnc when i was complete and when i called to ask if they recieved the documents from my surgeons office they told me i was already approved. Good luck.

My surgery is Nov 9th and i have not cheated on my liquid diets. It is tuff but we can do it.

I was told i have to do a preop diet although my bmi is 41

I had the same problem 3 years ago, i had to go to the hospital and was given IV. Doctor said bc i was very dehydrated and people who also run marathons are hospitalized for it. I forgot what it was called but i clearly remember they mentioned my levels should be around 120 but i have over 2,000. I was in so much pain i could not even move and i had cramps in every part of my body. Try to contact surgeon also.

Going hiking without getting tired, go conoeing with my 7 year old son

My surgeon said since i have a lower bmi i only need the liquid diet for 8 days. I would say this time do your best to stick to it, bc if you cant now most likely you wont be able to aftwr surgery. Best of luck.

What is your bmi?

Keep up the good work, it is very hard. I am on my liquid diet before surgery and i am hungry. Our sleeve surgery should help and make this better. I am thinking once we have surgery then since we wont be hungry we should have no problem craving pasta, rice, ect. Wish you luck!

In my initial consultation i told my surgeon my goal weight was 180 lbs that is 100 lbs to lose.

I have my pre op app. Nov 4 for surgery on Nov 9th. What should i expect ? What did the surgeon talk about ? Ect? Please and thanks.

More labs? uhhh! What is a ekg? They didnt tell me about having xrays. I will email my surgeons office bc i fell i should have been told what to expect. I only thought this what about talking about surgery, and paying.

I am too excited about having my surgery Nov 9th. the only thing i can think of is being able to go camping with my kids, and enjoying my new body. I have been wanting to go to Yellowstone National park for years now and with the help of God we will go this coming year and i wont get as tired. What is one thing you really want to do after surgery?

I went to a group preop class Tuesday and noticed 2 ladies that i didnt think we fat but i was excisted as much as they were. I see it as any surgery, if someone tells me that they want to get a nose job, i wont tel them not to. It is their decision and if they dont like the way the look then feel free to get any surgery you want. I know wls is different but many people get different surgeries that are not necessary for health but for appearance.

My surgery is Nov 9th and my preopt diet is 60 grams of protein liquids 60 ounces of clear liquids and 60 minutes of exercise a day.

Try drinking more Water to help with the headache. I used to fast "back in the day" and the extra water usually helped. Have you stopped drinking caffeine? That can give you a terrible migraine! I'm on day 2, because I didn't get the letter telling me to start until Monday. I am just ready to get this over with. Feel so bad for those that have had to go through the rigorous process of dealing with insurance. Gotta be rough.I dont drink coffee, i dont smoke, i have not had soda in over a month. I am just and i have been drinking so much water i literally need to run to the bathroom every 2 hours to pee. 11 more days

Day 3 of my liquid diet and i have a headache i am craving tacos i am going to buy a jigzaw puzzle to keep my mind off of this hunger!
