I'm a SEK pre-op, Dr. Dunshee in topeka is my Dr, waiting to finish my sleep apnea so I can schedule a surgery date

I had Dr Dushee, he's great!

I'm cleared to do full liquids day 8 after surgery. But a questions for everyone.....looking over my paperwork the only difference between clear liquids and full liquids is the Protein shake. Do other people have other differences?

On my paperwork I can do yogurt, applesauce, watery cream of wheat, etc and stuff like that on the full liquids

Wow I used to take Ambien and it never did that stuff to me! Guess I was a lucky one!

I'm only 2 days out and I have this pressure/gas problem ...and not hungry, just thirsty...still trying to get the sipping part down and my multi Vitamin & pepcid did not play nice this morning...so I found out what the foamies are......UGH

I'd also give just about anything for a BM today...think that would help a lot! LOL or at least be able to pass more gas.Guess I should try to drink some broth, but seems all I really want is Water and/or coffee...oh well will figure it out eventually

Had my surgery yesterday afternoon (August 24th) and came home this morning! Feeling pretty good, just really sleepy...lol

I'm 8 days into my pre-op diet & have lost about 9 lbs now. I will be getting sleeved on the 24th...and have only had a 'few' minor panic attacks...I'm SO looking forward to this though! Good luck to you on your new journey!!

How are you doing???

I'm doing better...the first 4 days were 'do not leave the bathroom' days....Mine isn't all liquids (may as well be though!) Surgery is Friday the 24th!

You look fantastic!

My surgery date is Sept 14, and just got my instructions for my pre-op diet to begin August 31st. I can have Five BariEssential shakes a day plus 1 8oz cup of chicken broth and the usual sf Jello and popsicles. Yikes! I must say even though I am following my pre-diet and already doing a shake for breakfast, I am very nervous about 14 days of this! I guess we all just need to think that this is only temporary! Hang in there!

I get 3 oz of meat (chicken, ham or turkey) for lunch & dinner...thats the only real solid foods I get

I'm nervous, scared and excited! I can't find a Protein shake I like though. Premier is ok but I still gag. I wish there was a pill for Protein.< /p>

have you tried Body fortress from Walmart? I Love the chocolate! Your surgery is the day before mine...Good luck!!!!!!!

Day 5 of 10 with a sinus infection. This is not good:( But on day 3 of antibiotics so should be good to go on the 21st. Wishing you all the best.Have already call the Drs office and as long as I am not coughing we are good to go.

Hope you get over it quickly...I had a really bad cold for 4 weeks last month or so...was so worried I wasn't going to be able to keep my surgery date! I was sweating it out!!

I am on day 2 and have a terrible head ache!

I've got the same...horrible headache, stomach growling at me, tired, etc....

I just started my 10 day preop yesterday...so far other than my stomach growling all the time, I've been ok...Oh and a headache! Good luck!

Day 2 of my Pre-op diet....Pray I don't kill anyone!! LOL

I started my 10 day pre-op diet yesterday...Please pray I don't kill anyone in the next couple of weeks!! LOL...it is SO boring.........

I'm on day 1 of my 10 day pre-op....blah.....

I will be traveling alone, and I am naturally very apprehensive. Guess I will just have to suck it up and wear my big girl panties. I am thrilled to be active here instead of a lurker.

I would SO go with you if I could!!! Just so you dont have to be alone...but remember, you are never alone as we are all here with you!

Mayetta (near Topeka) Kansas here....Having my sleeve done in Topeka by Dr Dunshee from Tallgrass medical. Will have the surgery at St Francis in Topeka on August 24th....I SO Cannot wait!!!

Tmi, but my top 3 things are:

1) wiping my butt without trying to be a contortionist.

2) shopping in any store I want and wearing pretty clothes, and heels that don't hurt

3) just FEEL BETTER!!! Inside, out, and mentally!!

Oh man, I am SO glad to hear I'm not the only one that turns into a contortionist!

My 3 things: (there are SO many, its hard to choose just 3)

1) is mentioned above..re: bathroom cleaning...lol

2) wearing nice clothes

3) cutting my own toe nails!
