hey feb 2nd sleevers, how is everyone doing? I have my pre admission testing tomorrow.. can't believe this is going to happen... what is everyone taking to the hospital?

[perforce 243]

Pyjamas, some loose clothes, laptop/kindle for entertainment, toiletries, a towel, anti-gas stuff. There are some other things that I can't remember, my provider sent me a long list of suggested things. I'm at the hospital for a week though, so you may not need as much stuff.

why for a week, if you don't mind me asking?

It seems to be standard for the company/hospital I'm going with? That way you're over the hump and any immediate post op problems can be resoled I suppose, and it gives them a chance to talk you through the first few days with your drinking/eating. Given that I'm going to another country to get it done I'm kind of glad of it tbh.

I don't know about you guys, but this pre-op diet has been torture. I'm not necessarily hungry, but I suffer from Migraines and have had nonstop headaches for two days. That + no food = misery. I'm scheduled for Feb 1

I pray that these headaches don't continue.

I will be praying for you. I only had headaches for the first few days of my two weeks, it was hard letting go off my beloved caffeine. Tomorrow I start my Clear Liquids only for three days, I am also scheduled for the 1st.

Everything is so close now! I fly to Prague on Sunday ready for my Surgery on the 2nd.

So the headache continues today... I go to a relexology spa to try and get the pain massaged away and I give the asian guy a jar of tiger balm to use. When he finishes my back and tells me to flip over, I look up and he has toilet paper jammed in both of his nostrils because apparently he doesn't like the smell of tiger balm ????????????

I got lucky with my pre-op, the surgeon is ok with you eating regular food provided it's low carb/low fat, so I've been able to do Protein shake Breakfast, Soup with unflavoured Protein for Breakfast and fish/turkey with vegetables (usually spinach or stirfry mix) for dinner.

I don't drink coffee or soda so I haven't had to deal with the withdrawal in that regard.

Hi guys I have started a February 1st post for those interested, before I saw this once one, this is a great one as well... super excited about Monday. http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/360076-Calling-all-February-1st-Sleevers!

Hi, I'm scheduled for Monday 2/1. I'm super excited too. Good luck to you! Hope all goes well

[mommamissy 12]

I feel the same. I'm scheduled for 2/1 also. The first 2-3 days were the hardest for me but it seems to be better now. I'm adding sugar free flavored syrups to my shakes and they really taste good. I've had headaches too but I think it's from caffeine withdraw. My doctor is allowing me to have a cup or two a day and it seems to help. Good luck to you! Hope all goes well!

Mine is on 2 Feb

After two cancellations (Dec 15 and Jan 27) I'm hoping to have my op on 2nd Feb. fingers crossed
