PeaceLove&Tash 27 Posted August 11, 2012 I am getting sleeved Monday at 530! It is so surreal, and I am getting a little scared. I am in a Pre op diet...liquids, yogurt, cottage cheese, Popsicles and stuff. But I will admit I have not been faithful to it . In my manual it says if you dont follow it take two bottles of mag citrate. And it says if you do follow it take one? I am def sticking to it tomorrow the day before surgery, and I will probably stay on the toilet all day O.o. I am hoping I won't have a lot of pain or stay knocked out the whole time. I guess I haven't really prepared myself for this moment. I have prepared for the post op diet and I know what I have to do, I have prepared for the emotional toll I will have when my body is changing, but I haven't really prepared for this one moment. I have never has surgery, so I don't know what to expect. :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andicat628 9 Posted August 11, 2012 You sound exactly like me. My surgery is 5:45 Monday and I didnt really stick to my pre-op either but plan to do all liquids today and tomorrow too. But I still have lost 8 lbs so far because it was still a far cry from what I normally ate lol. So whatever you feel Monday, know that there is someone else going through the exact same thing you are at the same time. I will think the same and maybe it will help make it better.

gelen's_change 157 Posted August 12, 2012 Ive had a diff surgery all i have to say is ull be asleep before u kno it and awake before u dream. It feels like a blink. A lil painful after and the no Water thing kills. Dont struggle with the anestisia relax and let it wear off after the surgery. Gas is a killer so walk. Good luck.
