Surgery tomorrow! Freaking out



Recommended Posts

I'm not overly concerned with the actual surgery but i started my liquid diet Friday and have cheated a little every day. Yesterday I cheated a lot. Half a Breakfast sandwich, a bag of cashews and a bunch of popcorn. I'm so nervous even though my liver isn't fatty anyways. Whoever thought of this clear liquid diet has obviously never been on one. 23 more hours!!!!

Good luck to all of you this week! It is a very nervous and exciting time! Remember to ask for the flavored sponges they will hydrate your lips and mouth after surgery. They are a life saver!! :)

Good luck everyone on your surgeries coming up this week and the beginning of your new life journey. Flavored sponges? I had no idea there was such a thing. I think my hospital staff may have been holding out on me.

It is my one tip I give out to all presleevers about to have their surgery. I can't tell you how much they helped me!

from what I've heard, flavored sponges are a lifesaver after surgery. I'm pretty sure I had them when I was banded. 13 hours from now, I will hopefully be happily sucking away on one until they allow me some broth or Jello

Hello all, I'm still up and my surgery is literally less than 6 hours away, I think I've done everything, said goodbye to all the yummy Snacks and the pepsi cola. Dang it was a bitter sweet moment. Well wishing all the November sleevers a happy healing

24 hrs post op. Sore but walking. Definitely used lemon glycerin swabs. Extremely dry mouth. All smiles though. Good luck to everyone and don't over do it!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
