notmyname 593 Posted October 19, 2018 Still scheduled for the 29th. Started my liquid diet today. TMI ALERT: And, of course, I also am starting my period. Which means I started my day with a Migraine and will likely want ALL of the food. Just my luck. Still thinking about whether I really want to go through with this. Talking to my therapist tomorrow and need to make a decision. I'll do the liquid diet until I decide for sure. In the meantime, I'm stocking up on various Protein powders, etc. Went to the hospital's support group last night and it was REALLY stressful. Lots of people talking over each other at the same time, lots of chaos. It just isn't well run. I'm required to go, but it was so stressful (not even the stuff people were saying, but just the noise and having 10-15 people all answering anyone's question at once). Made me nauseous just being there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did have that thought - especially since I'm early and was scheduled to have it DURING surgery, which clearly would have been worse. 1 1 Frustr8 and CyndieRI reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oct517 527 Posted October 19, 2018 Is anyone else experiencing muscle jumps while sleeping? It feels almost like a jolt, and I’m having it in my arms, legs, abdomen but never all at one time. Are you still on pain meds? I found that whenever I took the strong pain meds my doctor sent me home with I would have muscle spasms Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 recreating_courtney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
recreating_courtney 18 Posted October 19, 2018 I am still on the pain meds. Without it my incisions hit too much. I am starting to take half doses today. Maybe that will help. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't/don't guzzle, but can swallow mouthfuls (about three swallows worth of/per mouthful) consecutively with seconds in between. Again, I fear that I had the placebo sleeve! 😒😅😁 Same feelings, lol. I haven't had a problem at all with liquids. 1 ElectricBoogaloo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesshay 0 Posted October 19, 2018 Hello everyone. I had my surgery 10/10. I have gotten over almost all of my surgery pain. But today I have had lots of stomach cramps. It’s not like it was when I had diarrhea from full liquid diet. It’s just ongoing cramps all day. Anyone else have that happen or can tell me why or what i can do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All we can take is extra strength Tylenol which doesn't do nuch. I haven't had headaches but feel your pain. I will have my surgery on the 29th and have to stop taking Aleve on monday. I take 880mg and am worried about dealing with my arthritis and fibromyalgia pain without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was super emotional in the hour or two before my surgery yesterday, I was terrified, but climbed up on the table and got it done!! I’ve been sleeping lots and pain is well controlled... very little incision pain, just gas pain mostly in my back.Still on Clear Liquids and I never knew diluted apple juice could taste so good. haha.
