Getting sleeved tomorrow <3

So I'm nervous as all hell. Unlike most of you guys, I didn't have to do a pre-op diet. So I'm trying to figure out if that's bad or not... >__> But Jacobi is a center of excellence, so I should trust them right?

My biggest concern is what I should eat today. I'm staying away from solids, just focusing on liquids and I'm feeling kind of great. <3 Can some of you guys share your experience?

I didn't have a 2 week pre-op diet either. I was told to be on a liquid diet the day before surgery. I found out that every doctor is different. My surgery went fine. I was sleeved on March 21st. Just follow your doctors instructions regarding what and when to eat. The worst part for me was the GAS PAINS. I was walking the same day of surgery. The gas set in on day two. All I can say is walk, walk, walk.

At first I had problems drinking my liquids. It felt like broken glass and nails were in my stomach. I spoke with my doctor about this and he said I was taking in too much Fluid at one time. Once I changed my sips to smaller sips the discomfort was gone. This was a big learning curve for me. I really thought I was taking small enough sips.

I'm not having any problems now. I wish you the best on your journey.

Thank you so much! I'll be sure to remember that. I'm going to stick to liquids today. Should I take a laxitive? A safe liquid one, maybe?

I would check with your doctors office before taking a laxative. I was just asked to be on Clear Liquids and don't eat after 12 the night before.

Surgeons instructions preoperatively vary surgeon to surgeon. U chose ur surgeon so I'm sure u r confident in him or her. Follow ur surgeons instructions even if it differs from some of our instructions. We r all having WLS but we r all different people some with additional elements some with no co-morbidities. Ur surgeon has instructed u based on what's best for u. I'm on day 8 of my pre-op liquid diet and Monday won't come fast enough lol.

Wishing u much success on ur WLS and looking forward to joining u on the losers bench.
