DoggieMama 20 Posted October 26, 2014 Hi, I am also on Nov. 4th. Just started the liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I'm hungry. My only worry about the surgery is the nausea. General Anesthesia always makes me pukey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenVSG2014 1,872 Posted October 27, 2014 Hi, I am also on Nov. 4th. Just started the liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I'm hungry. My only worry about the surgery is the nausea. General Anesthesia always makes me pukey! Me too! Anesthesia and pain killers. I swore I'd never have surgery again but this is important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoggieMama 20 Posted October 27, 2014 I agree about the pain killers too. Am hoping to get scopolamine patch and put on the night before. Also going to tell them I don't want narcotic pain meds. There are other alternatives. I am in Wisconsin, where are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also going to tell them I don't want narcotic pain meds. There are other alternatives. I am in Wisconsin, where are you? I live in Florida but I'm having my surgery in Mexico. I've already asked about not using narcotics and they said it wouldn't be a problem. Also, the surgeon prefers we walk to alleviate pain. I'm all for natural remedies!

4LgrLife_53 82 Posted October 27, 2014 As far as nausea after anesthesia, just ask the doctor to put some of the anti-nausea medication in your IV. I told them about how I got sick one time after surgery (different situation than WLS) and the surgeon made sure the anesthesiologist put the anti-nausea meds into the IV drip. Solved all problems there. I'm on my 5th (of 14) pre-op diet day. The first four days were a bear and a half. I was starving!! All I'm allowed is up to four Protein shakes and Clear liquids (broth, sugar free popsicles, etc.) and I couldn't stop eating popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc. and it wasn't calming things down. Thankfully day 5 has been so much better!! I went through days of battling my own mental battles about having WLS even after getting myself ready for it all. I found I wasn't prepared for the drastic reduction in intake. But it has gotten better and now I know I can do this!! November 4th is my main focus---the day of surgery!! and start of a new frontier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
