Michelle Rynsai 84 Posted March 19, 2015 My Dr won't do it if you're under the weather in any way. Loss up on the zicam zinc melt away tablets, they work wonders along with some Echinacea tea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stacy458 89 Posted March 19, 2015 The hospital told me to only brush my teeth and take my meds with a sip of water...nothing else for 12 hrs before surgery. No gum, mints or anything the morning of. If I did have any of that, it would delay or cancel my surgery. I am very happy for you @@FortKnox78 my surgery is Monday and it seems very far away i haven't had any problems with the liquid diet just fighting a cold that's trying to come. My surgeon told me to drink Thera flu i hope it works don't to push surgery back question your allowed to drink b4 surgery? I was told nothing after midnight the day b4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doodlerah 20 Posted March 19, 2015 Hey, I read about these Vitamins that you can get from a patch. They are supposed to be great for bariatric patients. I'm so darn excited. I ordered the multi and the B-12. A few less pills is a good thing! http://www.patchmd.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ab123. 90 Posted March 19, 2015 My surgery suppose to have been today 3/19 but my doctor reschedule me for tomorrow due to her assistant had a funeral to attend. I am ready but nervous Wow! good for you for taking it so well! I would have had a meltdown lol after all the waiting. I am scheduled for thd 30th. Just trying not to catch a cold of anything between now and then! Does anyone know if you can have low sodium regular V8 juice on your preop diet. I can't get ahold of my nutritionist. She said sugar free juice and vegatable broth and it meets those criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michelle Rynsai 84 Posted March 20, 2015 Home finally, feeling great, lots of fluids in and day 2 of my Clear Liquids. I'm also getting about 30-40 mins of walking in each day too. The only thing that freaks me out is I never feel hunger... I've had nothing but Water or enhanced water with Protein & Fiber from Wal-Mart but I'm feeling fine.

irizarryteam 21 Posted March 20, 2015 I'm on my 3rd day of my pre Op diet. My sleeve will be done on the 30th of March. The liquid diet is going well, it's just seems like time is moving slow. Excited and scared, worried about gas pains after its done. Good luck with everyone being sleeved in March. Is anyone else being sleeved the 30th ? I'm getting my sleeve on March 30 too! I just started my pre op liquid diet today. I feel like I'm doing mental calisthenics making sure I want to do this. Yes I do! I just want to have little or no complications. And it seems like each person is so different in their experiences. Hope your liquid diet goes by quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
