June 4th surgery twins?

[sharaimonique 10]

I don’t know about you, but for me it has been a long time coming. Anyone else having surgery June 4th? I really anticipated that I would have been sleeved by now. Oh well, good thing come to those who wait. So how is your preop diet going? Feeling anxious or more excited? I am counting the days, but there is also some anxiety sprinkled in as I get closer to my surgery date.

I’m June 4th, too. On my second day of the long 14 day liquid pre-op diet. Do you have a pre-op diet plan? I’m trying to keep myself busy so I don’t go nuts with cravings. I do have some anxiety about getting sleeved, not the surgery really just what life is going to look like after this huge step!

Hi twinnie! June 4th here, as well. I just saw my surgeon for my pre op visit and I’m pretty nervous, too. I think being nervous/anxious is normal considering we are making life a huge, life altering decision that CAN possibly have complications. What gets me past the anxiety is knowing that the quality of my life should improve drastically and that I will be around for a very long time. Now...to get past this damn detox headache & life will be nifty!

I had to buy a two week supply of Optifast and 1 month of postop Vitamins from my doctor. I would have rather dieted on my own, but this is a requirement that my doctor has. I woke up at 3am last night with my stomach gurgling. I drunk some Water and went back to sleep.

Hey the fellow 4 June sleevers. How’s everyone feeling? Not long now and we will be on the other side.

My surgery is planned for 1pm and my surgeon has told me I’ll be in hospital for at least 3 nights. I’m hoping by the 4th night, when I’m back home, I can side sleep with some support on my tummy

I was only required 2 days of liquids pre-op. I'm doing 3 because I can't properly read a calendar apparently! I have been straight up HANGRY. But so excited for tomorrow!!! 3-4ish hours of surgery and hopefully only 1-2 days in the hospital. Best of luck for all of us! We've got this!

Hi Ladies. New to this board but came across this topic. I also will be having surgery tomorrow, June 4th. I will be having the bypass after a failed band in 2009. I have to arrive at the hospital tomorrow @ 10:30. Good Luck to everyone tomorrow. Hope to chat with yall soon.

[Pearldrop 164]

I’m on the other side!! Surgery went well. I’m feeling no nausea so that’s a huge plus. I’m still on pain meds so it’s all hugs & puppies for now.

im allowed to have ice chips so that’s helping with the thirst. So far so good

how are the other 4 June peeps feeling?

[deardraya 37]

Good luck to each one of my surgery twins. I’m incredibly nervous and scared and worried and excited. May you all be blessed today as you make one of the most important changes of your life.

[Pearldrop 164]

It’s the morning after and I’m feeling good, considering.

i wet the bed last night, I was a little too comfortably numb, and now have bladder control back this morning. I have some pain from the gas, it is manageable at this stage. I’ve taken my drs advice and am having all the pain relief offered. I am able to move around on my own and am having ice chipsand using lip balm. That with the drip is stopping me from being dehydrated. I drank a lot of Water leading up to the surgery so my body was well hydrated prior to fasting so I think that helped. I don’t feel hungry, but would love a coffee. Will see the surgeon later today to see when I’m on liquids.

hope all my surgery twins are doing great.

And just found out I get another shower and can start walking in an hour! Yeah

[Laughing Bird 65]

I’m on the other side this evening, too. I’ve been sleeping pretty much all day, I feel exhausted. I, too, am taking what’s offered pain wise. Gas pain has just reared it head for me. I’ll be going for my 2nd walk here shortly to get more of it moving and out. I’ve felt moderately nauseous and puked once. I’ll be happy to get home tomorrow!
How are the rest of our June 4th folks doing?

[Nickik 22]

I'm doing good! Sore from the gas. But manageable. 4.5 hour surgery. Took my first walk about 30 minutes ago. No nausea, just exhaustion. Sipping Water and trying to get some Jello down. I hate jello. How are all my twinsises feeling?

Hey June 4 twinnies!!! How y’all doin? I stopped my pain meds Monday and the gas pain is all but gone now. I’ve been taking my Vitamins, trying like crazy to get as much Fluid in as possible, and not gag on one more dang Protein Shake lol!

[Pearldrop 164]

Hey there. I’m doing great, I stopped all pain meds last week.

I’m having no issues with drinking Water and can drink between 2 -3 litres a day. I just sip all day, I go back to work Monday so am hoping to keep it up once I’m back in my routine.

I have a shake for Breakfast every day, and as it is not sweet I think I’ll continue this until I run out of the powder. I also have coffee.

I have been having a lot of Soups for lunch/dinner. I’ve been adding lots of herbs to give them the taste I’ve been missing. I have either yogurt or Protein Jello as my afternoon snack.

I start the purée stage tomorrow yeah!!
