Tricie5683 6 Posted March 12, 2013 It's hard to keep up with everyones posts. This site is getting bigger and bigger. I'm glad everyone is doing ok so far. I only have 3 days left. I think I'm getting to the nervous point. My pre-op diet has been terrible. I can't lie. Good luck on those getting sleeved today. God be you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepper Paul 143 Posted March 12, 2013 Day two and I'm feeling decent. Pain is actually a little worse than yesterday. I have gas pain in my shoulder that I didn't have yesterday. Yesterday I was able to get in about 60 oz of liquid. Getting discharged in about 15 minutes. Not really looking forward to the 90 ride home. I'm just thankful I don't have to fly home. I was able to see pics of the surgery. It was pretty interesting. I think I'm going to ask if I can take them home for a souvenir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@RealScoobyDoo 94 Posted March 12, 2013 Minime...try infant wind drops. It's the same active ingredient, simithicone. In tablets they are 80mg I think, and the strips are 60mg. So you would just use whatever amount equals about that. Deborah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thistlegirl 20 Posted March 12, 2013 Well it's nearly bedtime here in Scotland and I'm so proud of myself completing my first day pre op diet.

freejinn 7 Posted March 12, 2013 You guys! I started my pre op liquid diet today (day 1 of 3). Going to the bathroom nonstop and headachey and craving solid food. Also reminding myself that this is for a good cause. Surgery is Friday morning! I'm so excited and scares and nervous and happy! It's an emotional roller coaster.

Marbear 41 Posted March 12, 2013 I just found out that I am to be a March sleever, too. I just got off the phone with the surgeon's office, and 3/25 is my date. My doctor is in the "lose weight before surgery" group, and I am having trouble with that. And I'm really, really anxious about this. Glad to see I'm not alone! Best wishes to everyone!!

I go in on thursday for my surgery and im freaking out. You just have tp try to remember that it is going to be so worth it when we are healthy and skinny. A friend of mine that had the surgery told me there is nothing to it. Its not that painful your more so just tired until your body gets used to less food. Keep ur head up. We will do fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
