Urinary bladder?

2 questions; 1) is it preferred to sleep in a recliner or the bed post op? 2) did anyone have improved bladder issues?

Also; your body is used to putting off enough hormones for your previous weight; this can cause mood changes until your body adjusts. Completely normal. I have surgery 3 days from now And I have given my husband the heads up!

I'm day 6 of liquid pre op diet; I feel your pain too; I had some phentermin in my purse and I have been taking it ; it really has helped me ; Not sure if the doc would approve but I almost had a breakdown on day 4; no energy; no food; no sleep; plus my life = crying spell! Plus I work in a bakery!

Day 5 of pre op diet! Today was good; I also took an apatite suppressant; because I work in a bakery! And yesturday day I almost couldn't take it; on top of being tired and off some of my medicine; I was a basket case; but making sure I could take them today I feel 10 times better; 6 more days till the big day! I know I can; I know I can; I know I can; DO THIS!

The nurse said the same thing 2 weeks; I'm like are you sure? She said the most was 4 weeks;????????? I'm puzzled; my friend had bypass last year; at her 2 week mark she had to have gallbladder surgery; total 6 weeks out of work. I'm kind of worried because we are 10 days full liquids prior to surgery and 16 days after full liquids. ( 5 of those clear only) therefor the gallbladder has nothing to work for and can cause stones. They found 2 small stones at the bottom of my gallbladder ; hoping he takes it at the same time. I will know I guess the morning of : 7 more days. Whoooo hoop!

Good luck Rosa!

Maybe try a medical supply store

My doctor is saying I will only be out 2 weeks; I just am not sure if that is long enough.

Also says in my paper work if we don't lose enough weight before the surgery they won't do surgery. I live in Mobile, Alabama; Dr. Weinstein will perform my surgery . He. Is a well known surgeon and highly recommended.

Sharon-this is my pre op diet: no ; I wasn't told to stop any medicine except aspirin.

Sandra and Sharon - me to MAY 10!!! Day 3 of liquid diet!!!!! I'm very tired; even though I'm taking vitamins!

You look awesome!

On full liquid day 2, I have burped a lot ; anyone else have this problem? I have 10 days of liquids!

Day 2 of liquids ; bloated a little today; gotta getmore water in; although the restroom I have been visiting!

@committed2change- it's rough; I really want a different job right now; however I work with 2 people who have had bypass one 7 years ago lost 103 lbs and one - 1 year out and has lost 110! There is hope!

Day one not so bad as the day went on; hardest part is I work in a bakery!

I will send mine on my lunch

That's good to hear! Thanks

They say anesthesia cause your period to come so even if not during surgery it most likely will hassle you just after!

Anyone from Mobile? My surgery is May 10, Dr. Weinstein.

I found crystal light energy ( has caffeine in it)! Starting it tomorrow!

May 10 here! Starting liquids tomorrow!

Mobile girl here! My date is May 10, 2012. Tomorrow is my last day to eat regular food for the next 8 weeks. Monday starts full liquids for 7 days; then clear for 3 days.
