Billy363627 15 Posted February 9, 2011 You will do fine ..Try to get some Powerade zero.. It will help with electrolytes that your not getting. I know right now you just want to eat as much as possible but remember after your surgery you will not be hungery at all and it will be well worth it..Also get up out of that hospital bed as soon as you can and get to walking the gas will move better and it will not cause you as much pain..if you lay there you will be in pain..Just remeber sip,walk sip,walk,sip and walk. When they start letting you have fluids I could only get in around 30 ounces. Just try to increase it by 5 to 10 ounces per day and you will meet your goal of 60 in a little over a week..Good luck and remember to walk as much as you can..Congradulations..you will be on your feet in no time.

My Big Day 3/15/2011 4 Posted February 9, 2011 Take it from a nurse that works in surgery...it is totally acceptable and expected to be nervous going in for any surgery much less this surgery! Keep your focus on the end results of weight loss and health and do your best to envision yourself smaller when the nerves feel like they are getting the best of you. Don't hesitate to ask for something to relax you pre-op when you arrive in the holding area for surgery. The hospital I work at gives an oral Xanax before they even start your IV. My biggest piece of advice is speak up and let your nurse know how you are feeling so that they can help make you more relaxed! You will definately get something called Versed before they wheel you down that hall to surgery and this will totally relax you and make you forget even going in for the surgery and the next thing you know you will be waking up in the recovery room. Hang in there and I hope you do awesome with your surgery. I will be there soon and just as nervous as you are even though I work in surgery. Goodnight!
