july 2013 sleevers

[Patti K 98]

I begin my pre- op diet tomorrow (all liquids) and the citrate of magnesium at 2 p.m. I have a friend going with me to the hospital because she has already been through this. I'm feeling awkward about telling my family. My kids are all out of town.

Best of luck. I was the same way. Calm and excited at the same time. Day two sleeved and feeling good. Still have tugging pains in my belly but that's normal. Take it slow and follow doctors orders :-)

This is Jeff, Paula's husband.

I wanted to let everyone know, Dr Gersin just came out and told me all went well and he was pleased with everything. She is in recovery and I will be able to see her in an hour or two.

I met with them right before surgery on the day of. They discussed my medications asked if ive had to be put under anesthesia before, and explained what they were there to do before, during and after surgery.

Can I drink crystal lyte in the clear liquid phase or just Water? The term clear is really throwing me off. Thanks.

Yes to crystal light. Just don't use the "energy" flavors. They have caffeine. :-)

Great thanks. So, I'm assuming that I can start adding it to my Water as soon as I have surgery also? Call me nuts, but I really can't tolerate the taste of any water since I started this darn liquid diet. It has changed my taste buds completely.
