all4him 25 Posted November 12, 2015 ONE MORE SLEEP!! Surgery is tomorrow. I'm waiting on the call to tell me what time to arrive at the hospital. I haven't had to do any sort of pre op diet but I'm on Clear Liquids only, today. I will be drinking the awful magnesium citrate starting at 3 pm. At 5 pm I put on my Nausea parch. I'm excited but extremely nervous. I have a blood clotting issue so if there are any prayer warriors out there, I could use some prayers! Good luck everyone!!How are you doing?

I stayed an extra day in the hospital so my dr could keep an eye on my blood clots. I am home now and then quite a bit of pain but it is becoming more manageable by the hour. Cravings and hunger are still hanging around. I'm trying to focus on sipping my Water and walking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephschmidt1 8 Posted November 13, 2015 I have been on 1100 calories for 4 months. Monday I go for the next stage of prep work with Doctor. How about you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mania 128 Posted November 13, 2015 Day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet. Didn't have any requirements for losing weight before surgery but I self-imposed a diet (ok.. Making better choices when I eat). Have lost close to 50 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephschmidt1 8 Posted November 13, 2015 That's awesome! I have lost almost 40. My doctor doesn't require liquid diet I have been told. I will know more Monday. I havent heard of any other Doctor not requiring that so I am starting it on my own just to be extra cautious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Segulah613 56 Posted November 13, 2015 You all are awesome!! I gained 15 lbs in 5 mos(quit smoking) plus LOTS of food funerals, & a pregnant daughter!! Every excuse to continue to eat more!! I Lost 8 in 3 weeks( my surgeon demanded in order to move forward) And only lost 4 so far during this pre-op! I commend you on your loss so far.. That's amazing!

I havent heard of any other Doctor not requiring that so I am starting it on my own just to be extra cautious. My doctor doesn't require liquids prior to surgery either. He says it's because all the liquid after surgery is plenty of torture all on its own I can appreciate that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
