Day 7 tomorrow

Are you really ready for the lifestyle change that comes with this surgery

You will do fine! The first 2-3 days were the hardest for me. I had headaches and bodyaches which made it seem like my body was detoxing (which in a way I guess it was.) But once I got past day 3 I was fine. I have learned to drink Water every time I felt like nibbling something, and now I am at the point in which being around doesn't make me want to bite into it. As of yesterday I was down 5.9 pounds since the day I started and that alone was enough to keep me motivated to want to do more. Use the time you would snack with your husband before bed to do something else. I promise you it doesn't stay horrible forever!

I'm currently on day 6 of my liquid diet. I'm super excited. The first few days are REALLY hard. But once I got past day 3. I was fine.

It makes it a lot easier having people who understand.

Everybody's surgeon is different when it comes to the preop. I'm ending day 5 and will be on day 6 of my 21 day (3 week) liquid diet. Which only consists of, 3-4 Protein shakes a day, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, Water (with crystal light as well, broth, Gatorade G2 or Powerade zero.

Just scroll down the tread. It should be one of the ones at the top.

About 2 weeks after.

There's currently a march thread going with several people dealing with the same things. Come join us!! [emoji844][emoji92]SURGERY DAY: 3/1/17[emoji92][emoji844]

Those stories are anywhere. They happen. But heck I've had a csection in which I was completely sedated and I had to sign papers saying that I understand the risk. Anytime you have a surgery, no matter how minor, there are risk... especially when it involves meds for sedation. You'll be okay! Look up statistics.
