My SLEEVE IS TOMORROW 8/14/13

[lifelovekix 19]

Tomorrow is my sleeve I'm super hungry right now but I'm sacred to eat! I'm suppose to be on a liquid diet do they know if you eat when you go for surgery? I don't want to risk it but HELP ME!

Hi, my sleeve is also scheduled for tomorrow. I had a hamburger on Sat. and called the nurse yesterday and she said as long as I am on liquids Monday and Tuesday I should be okay. It has been hard for me not to eat. Usually by the third day i am famished. I take thyroid meds so it makes me much hungrier. Good luck to you tomorrow. Stay in touch. We can do this!!!! I am praying for you!

An extra Protein Shake would be better than "eating" something.

Hello,

My surgery is tomorrow too, but my doctor didn't give me specific orders to change my diet. Please do not eat anything because that may intefer with the surgery. It's only a couple of hours and your doing so well already. Hope everything goes good for you tomorrow and thank you Jesus that we have a God whose grace and mercy is plentiful. Stay Blessed and will chat with you on the other side of our surgeries tomorrow.

Blessings,

MzO

I feel you... this liquid diet is not fun but is all for good reason. Don't risk it. You've come this far, whats one more day? You can dooooo it! Try not to watch to much T.V. Today would be the day that EVERY possible food commercial ever made will most likely play. Good luck tomorrow. Update us on your progress. I want to know what to expect when its my turn. How exciting!

They are taking out 85% of your stomach -- yeah I think they will notice. You'll be on liquids for several more weeks, so this is the time to get used to it.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

Do not eat anything. My surgeon said "if I open you up and see food in your stomach, I will close you back up and not operate." I think it's because of the difficulty of operating on the stomach with food in it. He wants 2 days of Clear Liquids. I don't know how I'll do it, but I will do it. I've worked too hard and waited too long to mess it up at this point.

It's good that you asked for our opinions before doing anything. Your doctor's office is the first place to pose any question, but if you don't want to do that, a lot of people here have experience ... many have just opinions. I'm sure you don't want to take the chance of being refused surgery.

It's tough, but it's only 1 night. You can do it.

I know this was hours ago but yeah you wouldn't want to eat. They will suction out your stomach but when they intubate you there is risk of them hitting that gag reflex and I've seen patients with stuff in their stomach vomit everywhere, than you are at risk for aspiration, pneumonia. Lord knows you wouldn't want that!

I am just starting my 3rd day of my 2 week pre-op stage 2 diet. You should be proud of the fact that you've made it this far. But, don't risk having to start all over again. You'll never forgive yourself.

I am hoping by the time I am posting this, you haven't eaten anything and you are on your way to be sleeved.

Best of luck to you. Wishing you a trouble free speedy recovery.
