No MoM just 2 week high protein diet then 2 day liquid just before surgery

Having mine out Friday and I freakin feel it! I can't wait to get this thing out!

Yeah, i got the big no to anything i would normally put on any part of my skin

That's a great idea

Congrats to you Fedelma! We are sleeve buddies as we were sleeved on the same day! This forum is a perfect place to share your thoughts, victories and concerns....welcome!

Yep....let it steep just like a tea then sip!

Get some ginger root, remove the skin and cut up then pour 8 oz of boiling Water over it.

Honey you are not alone. I broke down to my husband today as i was gagging up my antibiotics....feeling nausea and a bit of pain. I couldn't believe I had done this to myself. He asked me a simple question "why did u do it"....It reminded me off all the awesome reasons i did this and even though i still physically felt the same, I knew i did it for the right reasons and this too will pass!

Ok....maybe i am tripping but Im 4days out from surgery and have gained a pound!!! I am.following this clear liquid diet and walking. What am I doing wrong?

Omg so true! Meanwhile the JP drain gets more and more uncomfortable!

Well Im still in my first week post op and there are plenty of clear liquid choices however I am hungry as h@#%! Next week won't be too much better as its full liquids....plus my hubby isn't trying to cook for himself and we can't afford $20 dinners every night just for him so Im having to cook. Needless to say I am not the nicest person right now so he has to eat in a different room!

Anybody got belly button drama? Mine was unpacked today and now im nauseous and it feels like a gaping hole...ugh!!!

I was told the standard was 7-10 days so o guess they are erring on the side of caution. Who knows, but om.ready for it to come out!

That's a great way to describe it....like you've done waaaayyy to many situps!

I hear ya LG....my drain is starting to piss me off. I've got mine til the 22nd...good grief.

After getting back home and taking my pain med and Gas x i was just fine but this am it was about a 3 out of 10.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I had my husband take me to the emergency room around 4am this morning. I wasn't breathing.so hot and i coughed up a glob of dark red blood in my sputum late last night. They didn't find any blood clots but they did find a nodule on one of my lungs which i have to get xrayed again for in a year. Well at least it wasn't a clot or related to the surgery!

Whoop whoop! I love photos

Hey lovietobeme...can you remind me off your pulmonary embolism symptoms?

Thanks christhee87!

I had my surgery yesterday and have been able to get liquids down ok. Doing able 5oz an hour. So just after i do my hourly stroll i sip till i get to 5oz and rest til the next walk.

Giving the rest of us hope...thanks for sharing!
