3 Pre-Surgical Cheats - No More!
I cheated on my pre-op also. A week before my surgery, I had TWO heaping full servings of lasagna!!! A few days later, I had a 3 cheese cheese burger with onion rings. Perfect example of emotional eating...because i was SO nervous for the surgery. But low and behold, the day of surgery, I was down another 3 pounds!! Who new??

Please Don't Let Me Have A Leak!
I would head to the ED, so they can check you out. If it's nothing, than it's nothing. Better safe than sorry...

Protein Shake Question
I ordered a whole bunch of different brands/flavors, and did not drink them until after surgery (last monday), due to the fact that people say your taste buds change. So far mine have not, and I like almost all of them. The Unjury strawberry sorbet was so gross.....good luck!

After Surgery
Make sure you have someone to fill your scripts. Keep a basin, with tissues next to your bed, and your liquid tylenol. (if you need to take it, water it down...) I needed some for a headache when I got home, tookit, and threw it RIGHT back up!! Also, maybe some wipes for the bathroom...everyone is different, but just sayin'....lol! When I tooted, I needed to be on the toilet! Good luck

New To This
I was sleeved one week ago today. My Dr did'nt want me up and walking on the same day. I had a pain pump, so I really stayed ahead of any pain. (if I did, the dilauded fixed it, because there really was'nt ANY). You will get cotten mouth, so I was able to use the sponge on a stick to clean my mouth. I was also able to "swish and spit" to help with being thirsty. As for gas....didnt really have any of that either. I did have a slight fever, and low blood pressure; easily fixed. The only issues I had were water retention from head to toe. That came off as soon as I got home. And the one time i did have nausea was after the swollow study....ick!!! Everyone is so different. Just as I, you will heal in your own way. Good luck! Keep us updated!!
