April 2019 Surgeries!

[beautifuldaymonster 124]

Home and in my own bed. Pain is pretty much minimal, almost gone. I can't imagine eating anything. Sipping is a little challenging because all I want to do is sleep! Walking and bending are easy though.

I don’t know how people do the several week liquid diet. I have a sleeve so don’t get too hungry but Tuesday and today are Clear Liquids only for surgery Thursday. I’ve cheated with chewing gum. Not eating feels weird even though I basically can’t eat! The mind is such a silly thing.

And thoughts to all those having surgery today. I am flying out to San Diego this afternoon for surgery tomorrow.

On the plus side, this morning my weight sans clothing was 329.6. That is the first time it has been below 330 in at least two years, maybe longer.

Regarding a clear liquid diet today, after 10 days of a full liquid diet, I am pretty much up for anything. Now if I can only get my 15-year-old to get her behind in motion.

You'll be just fine you got this

[SusieQ2019 567]

Yes you will be fine and wishing you an easy and successful journey to a renewed healthy life.

Haha! I hope you were able to motivate her! Good luck today and with surgery!!

Most adolescents are not self- starters, they often need a little Jump Start to get in Gear.

Thanks everybody, good morning. My surgery is in six hours. Yesterday's magnesium citrate had me in the ladies' room all last night, so I'm a little sleep deprived but I'll be fine. My tummy keeps rumbling. It hasn't had proper food in days so it's angry at me, but I don't feel hungry for some reason. Very thirsty! I am required to drink two bottles of preanesthetic fizzy beverage a couple hours from now so maybe that'll help. Mostly looking at before and after photos of other GB patients online and wondering what sport I get to get into after I heal.

I am really excited I get to exercise with less or no more pain soon. That's what is keeping me going. Excited for everybody undergoing their procedures today too!

I am April 1 also. They discharged me much sooner than I expected. I was told 3 days, only had 1 overnite. I got very nauseous from the OR meds. That is done with Thank God. Now i do not have pain, just uncomfortable and forcing myself to drink drink drink.

How are u doing?

Killerqueen86, I know how you feel. I am on my second week of shakes diet and the fear is intense! I keep trying to stay positive. I know it’s the right choice.
