I am thankful to be at work today with plenty to keep my mind busy. The nurse called me to confirm my time for tomorrow. I took measurements and pics last night. I am on a clear lisp diet today. Not that hungry although it is only 10am where I am. lunch time will be weird not eating. Excited and have lots of hope today!

Hi, My surgery is Wed the 25th and I was thinking about what I should pack.
The day I was pre-admit the nurse told me to bring shoes like I had on to use to walk in, I had on
good tennis shoes. She said not the slip on house shoes, I needed good support and traction. She also
said someome would bend and tie them for me.
My daughter wants me to leave my phone at home so I will get good rest.
Thanks for the list.

You can put your socks on under their socks. Their grippy socks tend to be plenty stretchy and big enough to go over socks.
My program actually preferred me to put on regular socks and sneakers for my walks around the ward. They felt it provided better support. The nurses helped me put on my socks and sneakers.

Hey everyone, I didn't get a notification that you tagged me in a post, weird. I am 3 days post op. The pain wasn't too bad. I didn't use the morphine pump very often, and as soon as they took me off(late morning the day after surgery) I only took regular tylenol. The gas pain is my biggest irritant, but I expected it, and it isn't super painful. I do feel a little crampy/gassy whenever I drink. I can't wait til that goes away. All in all though, it hasn't been a bad experience. Today I saw a 1.4 lb drop in my weight. Can't wait for the rest of my journey.

i dont have to do a system cleanse either just 2 week pre op diet, im not packed either, im so freakin nervous im sure im not gonna sleep at all 2morrow night...i wish everyone luck...look out Tuesday here we come!!!

I had a 2 1/2 hour Pre-op class 2 weeks ago. Woo Hoo, grand fun. I was on a 2 week Pre-op diet, so they required the class before that started. Packing is my last pre-op thing to do LOL.

I haven't packed yet either! I will tomorrow. I have to go to a pre-op class required by my surgeon. That doesn't get over util 8 so hopefully I will be able to sleep. Can't wait to hear how everyone is doing after surgery.

I don't start my clear liquid diet until tomorrow! I think that is why surgery on Tuesday doesn't feel real! I am keeping busy by cleaning the house and tomorrow I will go into work a few hours early so I can have everything prepared for while I am off. I am having serious fears of being one of the people that has a leak! That is why I must keep busy! Hope you all are doing well!

Geez my post above is all screwed up. ...good luck figuring out what it says.

Wow twins at the same day.. that's amazing! Good luck to you both.
I'm on liquids today.. I'm starving

Alright everyone, I am getting really nervous for surgery????. I had a Liver Reduction Diet for two weeks. I did well, but I had a few slip ups along the way. During the first week I had a piece of bread. This past week I swapped out a half cup of cottage cheese, which is on my diet, for a tablespoon of fat free cream cheese. I know this seems like a silly reason to be freaking out. Over some bread and cream cheese, but I am just nervous!! Some people don't even have a pre op diet, so I think I'll be okay. I also did lose a good amount of weight over the pre op diet, so that will help.

Hi all! I'm having GB on the 24th too! Getting nervous! What if they open me up and decide I am not ready?! Btw my twin sister is @@Hannahb3997 and we are having surgery the same day. We're both wrecks right now!!!!

So I have to be at the hospital at 8:00 tomorrow morning. Haven't even packed yet! Seems so unreal that this happening tomorrow! I'm one of the weirdos that's not really that nervous. Just ready to start this new chapter!

He he he... I had a terrible dream.. last night before falling asleep, I was remembering that I bought fresh strawberries that I forgot to eat. So I dram that that I ate the whole 16oz case the night before surgery!!! It was terrible!! Lmao.. . Glad it was just a dream, though.
Today is my first day of liquids.
2 more days, guys!!

@omnica That is so funny about the strawberries because I had similar feelings about other food that was in my fridge, haha. I am on the Clear Liquids for two days also. My dr. also required that I drink a bottle of magnesium citrate for bowel prep today as well. I drank it at 10am and I feel so queezy! Bless my heart, I am ready for these two days to be over. We are almost there!

Hmmmm, I have been thru a few surgeries before and there is the "I'm a guy" thing. sooooooo
I went in wearing shorts, a tee shirt and flip flops. They gave me a plastic bag in pre-op. I put my shorts and tee shirt and flip flops in the bag.....and away I went.
In recovery I put back on the shorts, the tee shirt and when I walked the halls I wore the flip flops.
Slept alot........went home in the shorts, tee shirt and flip flops. See, simple.....(it's a guy thing)

@ and everyone else with surgery coming up – good luck!

Thank you @@Alex Brecher i appreciate it. ???? Just 3 more days!!

@,
Sounds like you’re ready to go! Will you want a book or crossword puzzles or something else to do just in case you’re bored out of your mind? Even if it’s not something you normally do, it might come in handy if you have down time and need something light to do.

Hey! We are surgery buddies! May 24th as well! Good luck! And see you on the losers bench!

I am also on the 24th I am having the duodenal switch I am so nervous to let go of these old habits and foods I enjoy but excited I almost feel like I am starting a new life
