Mine went well. I'm home today.

My surgery went well. I do remember waking up feelin like I couldn't breathe and my back was KILLING me but I was allowed a heat pad to lay on and it helped

I was told by my NUT 3 oz every 15 mins.

It could also be gas. You could jus carry it in your back. I had it and it was far more worse than my abdomen.

Had my surgery on Monday the 13th at 730am and I was discharged home today at noon. I'm exhausted and in pain, and I'm struggling getting in my fluids around the fact im so sleepy. Any suggestions?

How is everyone?

Today is my first day on a clear liquid preop diet. i work nights and thankfully it's my Friday but I am mentally hungry. I've been eating jello like crazy!

I am Aug 13th as well! I am having my last meal as we speak. I work nights. I start my preop diet in the morning. 3 days of clear liquid.

So, part of me wants to just make a "tell all" status update on FB about my upcomng surgery. The other part of me is afraid of the responses. Should I tell people? Should I not? Anyone have experience?

August 13th. I am getting nervous. I'd never admit that to my family, but it's true! I start my clear liquid preop diet on Friday. I've loaded up on popscicles, Jello and crystal light. LOL Bad news... aunt flo is making her appearance, so this liquid diet is going to SUCK! Not to mention surgery during time of the month isn't ideal either especially having surgery with people I used to work with. LMAO! Oh well.. such is life! I just didn't want to have to deal with that during recovery. Heres to hoping it's an easy one this month. I'm very nervous about what to expect after the surgery.

I havent had surgery yet, but I am a RN and most hospitals provide you what you need in the hospital. The key is to bring as little "needed" as possible I reccomend chapstick... you're gonna need that! and some comfy clothes to leave the hospital in.

August 13th is my date at 730AM!!!!! YAY! That was easier than I was anticipating! Oh, and it's my birthday today and thats when I got the call!!! :D

Me! August 13th it is

I am waiting on insurance approval... but was told I shouldn't have an issues. Fingers crossed! I have a month from today! Now time to buckle down and get prepared! I've already been collecting some items: vanilla and chocolate Premiere shakes powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup powder Unjury Unflavored powder Things to get: small silverwear (a trip to Ikea is instore because they have kid silverware that looks like normal stuff) small plates and bowls small storage containers a blender (looking at the Ninja kitchen system) and then all the lovely Jello, crystal light, mio, soup, etc for my liquid diet I'm super excited! And I hope everything goes smooth with the insurance! I have UHC
