Awesome! How long is your pre-op diet? I'm scheduled to be sleeved on the 17th!

Congratulations! I hear lots of people complaining about being nauseous. Where does the nausea come from? Is it the pain meds?

If nothing is going down, I wonder why you were discharged from the hospital...? That's odd.

I'm glad everything is working out well for you. How much protein and liquids do you have to get in post op?

I'm on the 17th!!!! Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!Omg. This is scaring me. What exactly is the dumping syndrome and how is it caused? Is there something the person can do to stop it?10 days for me too!!! But I'm miserable on this stupid pre-op diet. Ugh!!!Okay, so this dang on diet is KILLING ME. Yesterday was my first day. Of course I cheated with a salad. I'm on a clear liquid diet and I figured lettuce is Water so Wth!!! This diet is so restrictive. Because I'm a diabetic, I'm only drinking juices (cranberry, grape, & apple) that are diet ...I.e extremely low on sugar and I also made myself some sugar free jello! But I feel terrible. I had a headache yesterday and cravings out of this world for food!! And today I just woke up with a MASSIVE headache. My surgeon said this would happen but sheesh this is just too much. I'm miserable!!! And it's only been two stinkin days. How can I keep this up until surgery day (the 17th). Omg. This headache is terrible. I've never had a headache this bad. Why is this happening? Did anyone else have the same problems and how did you cop with it? Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!I was approved within 48 hours!!I LOVE IT!!!!! You go girl!!!!!!!The drain was never mentioned to me. I only heard about it on this forum. So I decided to call my surgeon and he said he does not use drains whatsoever. I agree with the previous post that it's your doctors preference.Have you lost a lot of weight yet on the diet?I am getting sleeved on the 17th! I'm starting the diet tomorrow. Went grocery shopping today to prepare for it. I plan on waking up early in the AM to trash all my food!! I can't wait to be sleeved!Yay!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!! Keep up the good work~Thanks for the advice!Panera Breads Broccoli Cheddar soup is amazing...!?Oh WOW. I haven't seen those. I definitely have to try them! Thanks for the info.I start tomorrow. And am totally NOT looking forward to it. Ugh!
