Day of surgery

I was at the tRUE rESULTS facility from 10:30am- 4:49 p.m. The scale there said my weight was 292, and the surgeon came in and thanked me for losing a lot of weight for the surgery.:thumbup:   When I woke up I think my body was going into shock, but the nurse there helped me calm down.:eek: I have a bad back and had been lying on it from 12:30-2:30, when I woke in recovery. I couldn't stop moving-trying to be comfortable and my teeth were chattering uncontrollably. The nurse gave me Demerol

My pre-op diet

Pre-op diet was 1 meal and 2 shakes a day.   I cooked my chicken & veggies on my day off and then packed my lunch bag with a morning shake, chicken & veggies for lunch and an apple or grapes.

Sometimes I have nausea without any bowel movement, but that is not as bad.   Has anyone ever experienced the nausea/bowel thing and had a diagnosis?   I want to contribute it to my growing stomach issues (hia

First post

Today I am about 11 days away from my surgery. I met with the doctor on July 7 & weighed 309 lbs. Friday I was 299 lbs and I met with the nurse for my evaluation. We sent for my last lab results that my doctor requested. Today I'm at 296 because of the pre-op diet. Tomorrow I need to call the office and double check that they have received everything they need.   Can Hardly Wait:smile2:
