Tomorrow is the Big day



Recommended Posts

Hello all! Tomorrow Is my big day. And I am nervous and anxious. I’m ready to get it over with. I’m curious about if anyone was able to drink Gatorade after midnight?

I would definitely say nothing by mouth after midnight. They told me a small sip to take my pill in the morning

My surgery wasn't until 3 pm so they said I could drink 8 ounces of a liquid in the morning before 9 am. So I guess it depends on what time your surgery is.

Hey, you GOT this! Good luck--prayers and good vibes coming your way!

I definitely wouldn't drink anything past midnight, then. GAWD that's early! I hated having to wait until the afternoon, but I don't think I would want to go in at 0-dark-thirty, either!

No, hon sorry nothing after midnight unless it's to take a pill. Good luck. Praying for a skilled surgeon, and good recovery.

For pain, I had 1000mg of tylenol in an IV, worked great. If anesthetic makes you nauseous, before they knock you out ask for a scopolamine patch.

Surgery went great. I’m home resting now. So far have not had any nausea except for at the hospital once. I drink in 15 min intervals and 30min before and after eating. I have been walking on the inside of my home to decrease chance of blood clots and help with the gas. The stomach binder really helps. So before you purchase one ask your surgeon If the hospital can provide one. I asked the morning of and woke up with it on. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
