I had my preop this week too! I'm going out in a few minutes to have my scrips filled

I did my one-week preop today. I haven't gotten any prescriptions. Should I call my doctor tomorrow and ask about that? I want to be prepared. How do you feel? Are you nervous?

spay and neuter- I had my pre-op on Monday and I also got prescriptions.

One was for Nexuim which I take two the night before surgery and one a day for a month.

Another was for an antibiotic which I take the night before.

Another was for a patch that I put on the night before, take of for am shower, and then reapply behind ear.

I also take Reglan fo nasaeu one hour before surgery.

And last I get an OTC antiseptic body wash that I have to shower with the night before and morning of.

Hope that helps. I would call the dr or nurse and just double check.

You will need prescriptions for your pain meds and anti-naseau (sp). I got mine when I went into the hospital and they filled them right there. So it was nice and easy.

This is very helpful info. I'll take it to my doctor's office. I'm already on Nexium. I DO get very nauseous from general anesthesia. I'll mention the patch. Thank you so very much.

      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.
