I am scheduled for July 28. We should keep each other going and be surgery buds through this.

Best of luck to all.

Casey I would love to! How do you message people? I start my shakes today.. Really scared how I am getting to the 21st on just shakes...

[MaureenS 24]

I'm still trying to get the hang of this site. I like the personal conversation.

Well, I'll be starting my shakes on Wednesday. I don't think it will be too bad. I've be using shakes to loose weight these last few months.

I hope all my questions are answered at the class I have to go to onTuesday.

I am nervous about the life change after surgery.

[stacyann 11]

What questions do you have? I just have an anesthesia pre op this Friday... Then surgery Monday.

Ok. Here goes.

Can you have nail polish on?

I would like a list of exactly what I can eat. (I have no imagination when it comes to food)

I take a lot of meds, like around 14. I am concerned about putting all those pills in my new stomach. Can I eat Apple sauce with the pills crushed up in it immediately. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the soft food stage or something

Does the doc give you a number for after hours.?

Will I have a drain.?

Do you need any money in the hospital? (Like for tv or phone)

Do you need help at home (I live alone)

Thanks,

Casey 999

Ok I was told no to the nail polish or toe nail polish ..

We were told to go talk to the pharmacy and tell them what surgery we are having. My doc said pills need to be converted to liquid form or crushable . ( but check with your doc)

As for the hospital .. TV should be included in what we are paying

You might need help at home.. I am planning on help for a week..

I have to be on liquids for 3 weeks before I move to the next phase

I hope this helps!
