I will post as soon as I can! Thanks all.

Ok! I'm scared of this gas you all speak of so I will.

Thanks lauri!

Last day of actual food for me. Clear liquids tomorrow. Surgery Monday!

Please update when you get your labs done! I had to buy chewables. She was dead set against patches. ☹️

I do wish you luck. Do gas x or Prilosec help with the gas? Feel better!

So my wife and I both vape. We have the same pen. She uses nic and I use 0 nic (since I quit smoking). Today I vaped on her pen a lot without realizing it (I did feel dizzy but just assumed it was liver shrink diet related). My surgery is Monday and I'm petrified now. On top of it all, now all I want is nicotine. I have no idea if they will test me the day of surgery. I'm scared of I tell them they'll think it's bull and cancel me. I don't know what to do. This was about two hours ago. Did anyone get tested the day of surgery for nicotine/cotinine?

Thanks. I'm trying. It's been a long two years of many many stumbling blocks and things going wrong. It's hard to believe it's happening Monday and that something else won't happen to delay it.

Thanks. I don't plan to vape nic anymore. I just don't want a morning of surgery surprise. I knew I should've gotten a different color pen from her. On top of that she had Cinnamon Toast Crunch in her vape and I didn't notice but now I want nicotine and cereal!

They actually tested me a few months ago. I wondered if they test again the day of surgery. Everything I've read seems to state I'd test positive from this mornings vaping. Nothing I can do now really.

Vaping nicotine? I do need to chill. Lol

Right! I don't feel like I mentally withdraw as much as physically. Which is part of why I'm hesitant.

Yeah I checked and it definitely wasn't "liked" in my page.

Some of you are badasses! [emoji23]

I was told Aleve could cause an ulcer and to stay away. I'm on Xarelto anyway so I can no longer take it.

My surgeon called in a script of Prilosec for after surgery. For those that were prescribed this, how soon did you begin taking after surgery? Thanks!

I'm so sorry that happened. I too am not at all comfortable with all of Facebook knowing about this. You could've liked it for lots of reasons (to Facebook land). That said. I'm looking to see if I too inadvertently liked it.

Is there anything we can do ourselves to help prevent strictures?

We (wife and I) were just talking about this last night. It has always been all or nothing. We are either or a diet or waaay not on a diet. It's so much healthier to just accept the slip, log it so that you're accountable, but then get right back to it. Ugh, why has it taken me so many years to come to what seem such obvious conclusions?

Me too! I'm wide awake on it. It's so weird because it seems to make other people sleepy. Not me. I have the oxycodone liquid but I'm going to try and just take Tylenol. Plus I always feel awful when I stop the medicine. I swear I withdraw from it.

Thank you. Extremely helpful!

Following!

Just wait till you start manopause.

Two weeks to surgery. Eek!! (Don't like unjury vanilla shakes, love the chocolate though).

Oh you guys! I feel so bad for you. Five days till I go in and I expect feeling like this too. But my NUT said it perfectly normal in the beginning. Keep picturing all the things you want to do once you're better, I like that idea Strega!
