September 4Th Sleevers, What Are You Doing Today ? What Did You Do The Day Before Surgery ?



Recommended Posts

Thank for reminding me about the phone charger! Doy! My brain is not functioning right today. A lot of anxiety.

Those of you that don't have to drink the citrate, you are LUCKY. This stuff was nasty and leaves a horrible after taste. My stomach is hurting something fierce right now.

Tomorrow is the big day ! Woot Woot !

I had my surgery in Thursday, all I took to the hospital was my phone lol.... The day before surgery was just a regular day, I didn't even feel like I was getting surgery it was really odd... Goodluck to you! My pain only lasted a few days and I'm heading back to school tomorrow!

I am having my surgery a day after you guys on the 5th. Today I am doing the first day of my all liquid diet and watching a NCIS marathon on USA since I had today off from work. Tomorrow I am going to work' date=' and when I come home take my laxative and just chill and get ready for Wednesday.[/quote']

I will be joining you on the 5th. I took Tuesday off so i would not be tempted to cheat on my liquid day. Good luck Wednesday. My prayers are with you.

I was told to bring Mylicon drops if you cant do gas x (I'm bringing both!)... I'm mag citrate right now and I can barely stomach it-- it's horrible!! Wish I'd been on liquids now lol I'm also a nervous wreck! Hoping I chill out soon haha

Gas x strips

i was told that those did nothing since the gas is around our organs and not IN the organs. the Gas X only helps that and not the gas they put into our bodies...if that makes sense??

The only thing i do have to do is wash my tummy 2 times a day today and tomorrow and then once on Wednesday with this hexaclense stuff. It basically just kills any germs and helps prevent any infections. I have to call tomorrow to get my time for the surgery and its really hitting me now. For those of you going in tomorrow....see you on the losers bench!! :)

I'm amazed at how different each surgeon's requirements are. I'm scheduled for surgery this Wednesday and I've not had to do a lot of the things that I see others writing about. The only thing I have to do is be on a clear liquid diet tomorrow and take a Levaquin pill, as well as shower right before I leave for the hospital and wash really well with anti-bacterial soap. I didn't have any extended pre-op diet nor do I have to drink magnesium citrate. I wonder why things are so different for each surgeon?

Anyway, for everyone who has surgery this week...you're in my thoughts and prayers and I hope everything goes smoothly for each of you!

And if you have access to an eye mask and ear plugs, they certainly help with getting some much needed rest in the hospital!! :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
