Tomorrow is the Big day

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!

Thanks! It’s at 5:30am

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

And also i notice if the liquid is really cold it tends to cramp my stomach. My cousin had the duodenal switch and she noticed the same with cold. So i have settled for room temp.
