As anyone in here had surgery with tips/artificial nails? If so did they want your polish off or did they say nothing or something?

I don't have acrylics anymore, moved on to my natural nails with shellac/gel polish! It's awesome! Yes, I had to remove my nail polish before surgery. They look at your nails for oxygen content. You may want to ask.

Because your on a liquid diet for 3 weeks (stage post op)and while in the hospital they pump u up with liquids hence fourth the peeing

Thankfully I didn't have a 3 week liquid diet. Went home on purred foods, soft after one week.

I have surgery 5/30/12 next Wednesday. Soon can't believe the day is getting so close. I'm on a low calorie diet. 2 shakes 2 snack & one meal dinner veggies & a piece of meat.

I asked about the nails & requested for my nails to be left alone. I had 3-c sections & I had nails with polish & all threw out it all. The surgeon made an expection for me. It's just part of my life,and I can't see my self with out my nails. It's like I wouldn't be struggling so much if I didn't have kids. Some people may find it silly it's just nails,but I been doing my nails for over 10 years,and it's part of me. On my body right now that's the only thing I care about when it comes to surgery. On my everyday life. I always have my wedding band I wear proudly even though my husband doesn't deserve for me to wear it. I have a ring my daughter bought me years ago for mother's day. On my left hand no rings I limited it. I do have a Bracelet. I have an ID bracelet on my left hand also. A chain with 3 shoes for my kids. Earrings. I love my gold & I never take them off except for washing them,and it has become part of my life,but the moment I get discharge from the hospital my family will bring all my gold back so I'll be wearing it leaving the hospital. They know me very well & I would feel so nude with out it. It's part of me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
