SC Southern Sleevers?

[Beachbum2017 108]

Question for all of you "on the other side" that have already had your surgery. I've been on the Pre-Op diet since last Tuesday and I noticed this weekend that I feel a little nauseated in the mornings. No - I'm not pregnant - way too old and have my parts removed but did any of you have this? It worries me a little bit since I'm getting nauseated on the PRE-OP diet and haven't even had the surgery yet!! Any and all info will be greatly appreciated.

Did you get enough calories and Proteins? I had some nausea and dizziness and found that I was not drinking enough. Hope you feel better. Hang in there! Blessings!!!

Beachbum - I wonder if that's part of what's going on inside the body. Remember, we are pushing it to starvation mode.

I also had to share that I saw a recent picture of myself for the first time since surgery. What did I notice, out of all the changes?

My eyes! I don't remember the last time I could see my eyeballs! Usually there was too much fat in the eyelid and below squishing them out of view. So to me it looked like I had "crazy eyes", when in reality it was just normal!

Weird.... Just had to share.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It was because I was dehydrated in the mornings - my blood pressure medicine has a diuretic in it and I was taking it at night and believe that was what was causing me to be nauseous in the a.m. - I switched it to daytime and no more problems! I'm one week and one day out today - starting to get a little panicky but have pre-op appts with hospital tomorrow and final meeting with Dr. Antonetti on Thursday so it's full speed ahead!

Doing pretty well - finished with everything and just in countdown mode now. Found out this morning at appt with surgeon that I have a hernia that will be repaired in conjunction with my sleeve also. Must be a SC thing : ) -

I had lost a total of 36 lbs since 1st of April - 10 lbs in 2 weeks on the pre-op diet! How are you doing?
