I was positive also & was treated with 2 wks of antibiotics prior to my surgery. The dr wasn't worried at all about it. I have to go & do a breath test to make sure it's gone (they said to do it a month after the antibiotics)

Congratulations!! You look great!!!!

You look awesome!! Congrats!!!!!

It's the Children's liquid Tylenol. I just take the adult dose. But it is thick & doesn't taste very good but I'm able to get it down quicker now. As I'm trying to get the sips down I think I NEED to get it down to feel better so I manage. I always chase it with Water or Water w/ crystal light & that definetly makes it easier.

Hope that helps!!

Congrats!

Hi all! I'm on day 4, 1st couple days were rough for me. But as they say, everyday it seems to get better. Had some gas pains, some shoulder pains. Stopped taking pain meds yesterday, although I am still taking Liqud Tylenol when I need it for my left lower back pain. Anybody else have this?? I feel like if I didn't have the hiatal hernia I would be recouping much better. The dr said he had to cut the muscle & do a stitch inside & that's the reason why I have left sided pulling & pain.

I also get a burning sensation inside directly in the middle of my belly. What's that about? It seems to be worse after I go for a walk.

Slowly getting fluids in, I was able to finally finish a shake this morning & had some broth for dinner.

Hope everyone is doing well & we all are on the mend!

I use Miralax & 2 fiber chews. I was petrified of getting constipated. Both of these seem to work for me.

Nice going!! Congrats! You must feel so good. Gives me hope! Keep up the good work.

Good Luck to all!! My day is tomorrow. Can't believe it's already here. Like all of you I keep questioning everything then feel reassured then worry then freak out then feel calm again. I just really want it over with.

Congrats! I'll be sleeved tomorrow at 1pm too!!!!

Congrats!!!!! I can only hope for that !!!!

Good Luck!!!!!

You look great!!!

Wow! You look amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing.

I'm on day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet. Surgery on the 21st. It's mostly fine but being around the smells of food or people totally grubbin in front of me is hard. Sometimes I just have to waaaaaalk away

My surgery is also the 21st. I'm just north of you by a couple hours. On day 8 of liquid diet. I'm envious that you don't have a liquid diet!!

6 more days!!!

Good Luck!!!!

I agree that the pre-op diet just sucks!! It makes me think about food more than I should. I keep thinking I'm never going to eat again!! (I'm on my 5th day)

Anyhooooo-Monday is almost here & I wish you the best!

Good Luck! I'm also on my pre-op liquids...dragging onto day 4....There IS a light at the end of the tunnel. RIGHT??!!

I'm also on my pre-op but all I can have are the Optifast shakes. Which are ..... just ok.....I plan on getting the Premiere shakes for post op.

Good Luck!!!
