Fabulous February!

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

Five days post-op and feeling more human by the day . So very weird to just not be hungry, at all. I know this is temporary but such a nice change after starving to death for 2 weeks pre-op!!! I can't remember if I posted this here or post-op but I really didn't have a huge issue with pain. Yes it hurt but with the medications it was tolerable. In the last 72 hours I've taken 3 half doses of pain medication total.... My biggest issue has been dizziness be nausea!! The nausea was terrible!!!! Thursday and Friday was pretty sure I was just going to die, today that is starting to get better. Yay!!!

So for all you fab Feb pre-oppers, keep pushing on! You are so close and you can do this!!! Good luck to this weeks batch!!!

Nothing' date=' I'm just keeping you on your toes lol [/quote']

:-) sounds good... How is ur body recovering? And what have u noticed regarding eating and weight loss... If anything yet?

I tend to ask a lot of questions the more anxious or worried I get.... :-)

How's everyone doing in their preop diets? I'm 6 days in today. Haven't cheated. Feel pretty good but starting to get all weepy at everything! I did start my period Wednesday so maybe it's just hormones. I was at 222 and was 109 this morning. Nice to see the bloat is wasting some.

I'm excited. Today I spoke out loud about what I was worried about- only worried about what will happen to my husband' date=' 4 girls and 2 step children if something happens to me. That's all I'm worried about. Makes me cry thinking about it if I were to leave them. ;'(

Ok enough for now. So happy or everyone postop and excited for us all this next week. Wednesday may get here a little too quickly![/quote']

Did u mean 209?

Also I have been having over emotional (and not really good) responses to people and situations.... I have been on this preop diet since 1/24.... I am barely able to do the minimum some days.... TIRED!

I'm having the hardest time with this 2 week liquid pre op diet. I am exhausted and feel terrible. I barely get my 1' date='000 calories in but I do get my 80 g of Protein in. Any help would be great. Thank you.[/quote']

I don't know. I just up the Protein. Do non calorie Vitamin Water and get my electrolytes. Felt worse until had bloodwork and found my phosphorus electrolyte really low. Given extra for a week. I also drink 1-2 small v8 cans (25 cal) per my nutritionist.

Oh dear, I don't think there's an easy way through it. It just sucks. Make sure you're getting all your Water in and just remember why you're doing it. It's for you and your future.....post op diet is boring as heck but at least I'm not hungry AND I have good drugs!!! It will so be worth it though!!!!

Tomorrow morning is my pre-op appointment. I am really stressed out about work because my temp just started on Friday. Worried about what they will be checking at the doctors. What if they cancel me?

I have my pre-op appt tomorrow as well. I have my date set for February 28th; I hope they don't cancel me. They told me its a long session about 4 hours or so. I'm also wondering what all goes on.
