Iniysa 157 Posted May 29, 2013 June 10th for this guy. Getting excited and nervous. Think it is going to be a long week and a half. 1 week 4 day. I'm excited any yet my stomach ties itself in knots when I think about how soon it is. I still don't believe it.

Arts137 1,811 Posted May 29, 2013 OK. I go to surgery 6-4 (as I already said). Am over a week into the 2 week 'Optifast' which is going well. Not body hungry at all; that ended after the 3rd or 4th day. Some head hunger, but so what, just will muddle through that!? Have participated in family & social activities without much 'food longing'. Am a bit more tired than before and "quiet". Not 'crabby', just quiet. Talked to nurses yesterday. One from the hospital going over meds and supplements, medical history, experience with anesthesia, what to bring to hospital, who will be taking me home, etc. Other from surgeon's office confirming after discharge Rx . Will continue Prilosec for 6 months and need to take Lovenox shots for a month. Both nurses were very nice. As of now I report to the hospital at 8:00AM, but that might change and the final time will be confirmed on Monday, June 3rd. Will keep calm and carry on! 2 Bec101 and Brenda0928 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purrplelover 48 Posted May 29, 2013 I know I have been in here saying I have done the liquid protien shake diet before with my lap band, and it gets easier as you move through it. However, day three and I are not friends. I feel weak as heck, and I was only 30 minutes late with my second shake today and truly thought I was going to pass out while caring for a patient earlier today. So was I wrong? Obviously day three is not the magic day. What day did you start to feel better on your pre-op diet? It kind of scares me because I have the 2 week pre-op diet, then after surgery it is a month of liquids, followed by a month of purée, then a month of soft foods until I reach normal foods after that.

I'm just hoping I'm not just a late starter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
