My day is near and now I am so excited. Been a long long journey for me as I ended up with a DVT in my right arm which pushed my surgery 6 months out . Question does or did any one have to do a bowel prep day before surgery?

I just has sleeve done on February 2nd so it just made a week on Thursday. I'm in the same boat very weak tired and can't get many fluids in. today is really a bad day. I am so regretful! I wish I didn't do this. I know in the long run it will be the best thing I've ever done, but again I'm just having a very bad day. But I hope you do great and we'll both be okay. just be prepared for days like this.. Sorry if i brought anyone's mood down.

This is to be expected. I think we all have buyers remorse periodically in the beginning. I can relate. My surgery was 12/1/16 and I have thought it a handful of times but then I remind myself of the progress so far, others results and remind myself I will get there in time because each month gets better. I'm now able to eat solid foods and it felt like this day would never come!:) lbs My sister had the surgery 4 years ago and looks amazing plus feels great. We too will do great!!!

Tomorrow is my last day before surgery. I have done the liquids & tomorrow I will stick a bottle of mag citrate. I work in the med field. Believe me, you want to do it. It will decrease your risks. If anything happens to get nicked, you would have crap leaking. It's just an easy thing to do to improve odds of complications.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
