Has anyone had to deal with the death of a parent right after surgery. My dad passed unexpectedly 3 days post op and I’m really struggling. My surgery was 6/12 and he passed on 6/15. I’m a mess. My mom has early stage Alzheimer’s and he was her care giver. So I’m planning the funeral all by myself and dealing with my mom. I had to stop taking my pain killers because I needed to be able to drive. I’m so stressed and surrounded by food. And I’m hungry and nauseated at the same time. This can’t good. Help!

Wish me luck!

Going on day 2. All is well still haven’t eaten or drank anything....so weird not to be hungry. I was hungry all the time. Been up and walking although afterwards I’m exhausted. So far so good. Talked to my kids on the phone, they asked if I was skinny yet!

I’m out! So far not too bad. Incision pain managed by meds. The worst part is the gas pains. I want to get out of the bed to relieve them. Oh and my mouth is soooo dry but no liquids til tomorrow. I can’t wait to start this next part of my journey!

OMG, only 2 more sleeps til my surgery... I’m excited and nervous. Any other 6/12 sleevers?

New here...my surgery is June 12th. I’m getting super nervous /excited. So one thing I’m worried about is that I haven’t been given any information on a pre op diet. I was basically told to just eat light a week prior to surgery. Hmmm, any advice
