Looking for January op buddies!

[MamaGav 3]

My op is on the 5th - so in just a few days. It has all happened very quickly and I am feeling anxious.

Would love to make some friends to share the highs and lows.

I'm 43 with 2 kids and live on the English South coast.

Mine is January 23rd. My pre-op appointment is tomorrow., I'm excited but nervous.

Whoo hoo!!! Just got the call about 1 hour ago. Mine is the 26th. Gastric Bypass too!

My surgery is tomorrow, and I am a ball of nerves. I'm considered low risk, so I'm really hoping everything goes well and there are no complications! I've got to finish packing my hospital bag tonight. I can't believe it's here!

How is everyone doing?

Oh the absolute same here!!! So nervous, should NOT have googled! Google is no longer my friend!!!!

My bag is almost packed - lots of nighties, pj bottoms and all things comfy.

Don't think I'll sleep tonight

I am excited to chip off the layers and rediscover the person beneath. I would be lying to say that I wasn't worried as well.

My surgery is the 23rd! I'm about to start the pre-op liquid diet. It sounds brutal. Any suggestions?

My surgery is the same day, I'll be thinking about you! My liquid diet will start 10 days before, so Jan 9th, next Friday.

Hello my darlings!

Sorry for the late update!

I had my mini bypass surgery Thursday afternoon. I had a bit of a hard time with the anesthetic and felt like I'd been hit by a bus for the first 24 hours.

Then when I woke this morning it was as if it had never happened. I felt short of miraculous.

I'm having very little pain - basically I just feel like I need to pass wind. A lot of it. (Sorry!)

I was in with 2 other ladies who had a similar experience. So I'll say - first 24 hours is not nice but once you're through that you'll be like a new person.

There is no feeling of hunger whatsoever so I'll have to teach myself to count nutrients!

We got a choice of 3 different diet methods. Is liquid really your only option?
