Today is my 3rd day out and I have some soreness and pretty tired. The only thing that was bad for me was the anesthesia it makes me sick so after surgery it took about 5 hours to get my vomiting under control. I came home yesterday early am after being able to pass the leak test and keep my intake down. I also came off the morphine the day of surgery b/c this too makes me sick. I will not weight myself till after my one week check up.

Anyone here have hypothyroid? My weight has been going up before my surgery. The only thing I have changed is cutting carbs and eating protein and veggies to shrink my liver? I hope this does not keep me from surgery.

I haven't done it yet. I have my colonoscopy on April 7th. I have to start doing a low residue diet a week before and clear liquids one day before but I think to be safe I'd go at least 2 days before (my choice) then the bisacodyl tablets , the miralax mixed with 64 oz of gatorade mix, and then I think a 10 oz. bottle of magnesium citrate, the day of procedure. With lots of water in between. Better than a gallon of that Moviprep if you ask me. Good luck with everything!

I totally understand. It seems like a lot of us here have insurance that is changing at the first of the year. I'm on my husband's insurance and he informed me that because their raises are increasing so is the insurance. Our deductible is $700 but I don't know if that will be changing as well. I really wished that I could have gotten the surgery before the year is out as well because of the increase but I don't think that its possible simply because I am just starting the process. As for your pre-op diet it sounds like you have aome good choices to keep you feeling full which is what I was worried about gor me. Because I take two blood pressure meds I am afraid of my blood sugar levels dropping too low. I will ask the surgeon about this during the consultation. I can also imagine how hard it is smelling food as it is being prepared. I am going to have to brace myself for that one lol! Oh Chelle I am so very excited for you! Please keep us posted on your progress.
