Who else has their surgery in October?

[Nancy MBGC 90]

I just got my surgery date - October 4th. Plus I was told I have to start my pre-op diet tomorrow. After all this preparation that was fast! Anyone else out there scheduled for October?
Nervous and excited at the same time.

I hit my low on day 3. Headache and starving. Wound up eating more Protein and made it through. Today is day 7 and I think I'm getting sick. Aches all over, sore throat and freezing. All I want is hot tea. I hate tea, never been my thing so that's weird. The thought of drinking a Protein Shake makes me nauseous. So Lind of a blessing. Just hoping I'm all better before the surgery.

Yes I feel freezing too, I thought that was just me, I'm glad to hear someone else has it but sorry at the same time as it's not a nice feeling. Really strange your craving something you don't even like. Can you have bovril or anything, I have been having that to keep warm a little. I hope you feel better, in a way I feel this is getting us ready for what is to come so it's not a shock to the system. I feel if I did this a few years ago I would of packed it in, so I know I'm ready for this now.

Lm scheduled for 10/18 with pre-op diet starting 10/11. Still waiting for insurance approval.

So excited! They told me I will be on a liquid diet not sure if that is Clear Liquids or what. I get all the info 10/9.

Morning all! Was sleeved at 1pm yesterday, it's now 5am the following day and I'm feeling great! Still have a little bit of gas pain which is easing with every walk I do. Hitting good fluid goals and peeing like a champion. Still have my pca which will be taken down today and then home on Friday!Good luck to all the flow October sleeves! What exciting adventures we have to look forward to!

I was sleeved at 1pm on Wednesday. Great experience. No nausea or pain except when drinking - hard to get the fluids in. Was sent home yesterday (POD 1) and that's when the nausea hit - on the ride home. That was followed by pain when I got home. Rough day yesterday, but feeling much better this morning. Hoping for a good day. Think my reserves were just low yesterday. We can do this!

Ahhhh I wish I was as lucky as you!!!!!!! I had horrible horrible pain... but they said 96% was due to the hiatal hernia they had to repair! Mine was done on 10/2 I’m feeling great now! Been home and starting next stage of my post-op diet...
