listommom 1 Posted July 13, 2012 I am still a go for Wed the 18th! About the gas, my niece Joyce had the surgery last year and sang the praises of Gas-X strips. She said they are a life saver after the surgery. I have 2 boxes ready for after. Perhaps this will help you with your gas too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dazzlebunny 4 Posted July 14, 2012 My birthday is the 18th, that was one of the date choices I had for surgery, but I just couldnt wait another 8 days lol. Im 4 days out, down 12 more pounds, although I dont really feel any different lol. Just drinking drinking drinking! Need ot get a different Calcium chew though, cause the caramel ones i got are wayyyy to sweet and candy-like! Yuk! My hubby made toast and I really wanted a bite lol - no no no! My clear post diet is 4 weeks, omg its going to seem like forever lol. Gas is still a pain, and one of the laproscopic entry points is still damn sore! Move SLOWLY! walking is my best friend lol. 1 listommom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lacie1221 4 Posted July 14, 2012 I couldn't handle being on clears for longer than a week. I'm 4 days out and STARVING. I probably haven't eaten more than 300 calories since the night before my surgery. I can't tolerate any of the clear Protein Drinks, and can only tolerate a little chicken broth. Other than that I've just been eating popsicles and drinking Crystal Light and Gatorade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haich1 5 Posted July 15, 2012 I'm July 24th. Day 6 of my Optifast and I am seriously hungry today. No headaches or anything though. Counting the days...yeehaaa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aznurse4u 17 Posted July 15, 2012 I don't have a surgery date yet but I had my pre op appointment July 12. I'm waiting for the scheduling lady to call me as soon as they have received my results of my sleep study which I did July 10, and my chest X-ray and EKG that I did July 12. My Dr does not require a pre op diet thank GOD! So I'm excited and just want to be sleeved already!!! My question to everyone is how much time are you taking off from work to have surgery???
