TexasBetsy 1 Posted March 29, 2014 I'm set up for April 2nd too! As I finish up with my winter clothes, they are going to Goodwill. They won't fit next winter! I'd love to communicate with another who is sleeved on 4/2; that would be awesome. Let's talk any time. 1 Nik1115 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) April 2nd Sleeve_Suggestions @@Nik1115 wow, i hear april 2nd is the best day in the world to have surgery!!! you are probably going through a bunch of mixed emotional feelings like many of us did being excited, scared, nervous, and back again suggestions.............. follow allll the rules you've learned from the board and your doc and NUT too !!!!! we are all wise beyond our years but we are not surgeons/docs/nuts we will support you - give you advice - but the final word should come from your doc/nut (even though we're frequently smarter be as prepared "mentally" as you can for having a "little" pain/discomfort after surgery maybe normal post op issues of gas/vomitting etc for the gas - walk as soon as possible in the hospital keep walking - that helps get rid of the gas if you are in pain - don't be shy about taking pain meds you might be tired for awhile when you get home get as much rest as you can, and then nap keep drinking, sipping - very important you can't afford to get dehydrated remember that you didn't wake up one morning and you were heavy you won't wake up one morning and be skinny either god grant me patience just hurry up about it!!!! take things slow expect the worse, and hope for the best!!!! all that being said - many/me had great recoveries hardly any issues many people returned to work within a few days, or a week never compare your weight loss/time period or anything with others "the one thing we all have in common is that we're all different"!!!! good luck wednesday speedy recovery kathy Edited March 29, 2014 by proudgrammy 3 Kgregory, Nik1115 and Floridagirl35 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doodlebug 1 Posted March 29, 2014 April 2nd for me too!!!! Now if I can get through the next few days without anything happening. (Was scheduled in January and my son was diagnosed with diabetes the day after by preop bloodwork) 1 Nik1115 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nik1115 4 Posted March 29, 2014 Wow looks like April 2nd is going to be a good day!!! How's everyone doing with their pre op diet? I'm allowed 4 Protein Shakes a day, sugar free Jello and popsicles and a 1/2 cup of non starchy veggies. The first few days were rough but now I'm in the home stretch ...only 2 days of work left and my journey begins! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aNewTanya 109 Posted March 29, 2014 I haven't been given a pre-op diet but I have been doing 2 shakes a day with a small meal at supper. It hasn't been bad because I've had a bad cold for over a week now with very little appetite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
