Previous Testing?
It will depend on the time frame they want the test done in to be valid. I'm not sure why you would even need a colonoscopy? I didn't have to do any of those test. Your right he will be able to tell you for sure, good luck!

Vomiting postop
@@rnsamantha I was doing that quit a bit, I went practically vegetarian for awhile but drank my protein shakes to keep protein count high. Meat is hit or miss with me too. I think chicken is the worst, and I'm a notorious fast eater, doomed! I'm not really sure what you could do since I'm In the same boat but do vegetarian for awhile....

burning sensation/heartburn without even eating
Coffee is acidic so it could be contributing to the problem. Go a couple days w/o it and see.

How did you guys do the 2 week/1 week liquid only diet?
A ton of willpower and a naked picture of myself for when I felt like I just had to eat! Laugh but it worked!

I know this is a crazy question...
One of the main reasons why you can't wear a bra besides it being in the way is because a lot of bras have metal in them, if God forbid something were to happen where you were to need a defibrillator used to restart your heart you would NOT want any metal on your body while being shocked. You would get fried. Trust me nobody is going to give a second thought to what you look like, we healthcare professionals see so much on a daily basis it's not even worth mentioning, unless you come in the ER with a foreign object shoved up your butt....we will laugh at you behind your back and then keep it moving good luck on your surgery!!!

Hunger

Drinking water
I was drinking regularly by the first week. Not huge gulps but more that a medicine cup. Drinking water is vital so don't worry about it.
-
3 more weeks
A favorite shake, liquids, I did isopure (ready-made) and coconut water. Regular water was too hard. A nice comfy chair with a table to set everything up within reach was a blessing!

Should I feel Guilty?

My Guy LIKES big Women...
@@betrthnever My husband loves me no matter what, so he says but I'm pretty sure he likes this skinnier me better. I lost weight on my own back in the day and my ex preferred bigger women and told me I " looked sick" and he wasn't as attracted to me.......soooooo I told Felicia bye, which is why he is now referred to as my ex. See how that works! So technically I dropped that 60 lbs plus 170lbs of ass! Not too shabby!

Just spent $7.55 at the doughnut shop......gonna enjoy this while I can !
Well I wish it was true that I could never eat a doughnut again after surgery but not so much, tell that to the half of one I ate on my Vacation in Colorado last week . You will be able to eat them again you just may not want to. Enjoy!

Surgery Wednesday still in pain?
No it's normal, I hurt more on day 3 than any. I got a stronger pain pill prescribed and by day 7 I was ok. Everyone's different but mine defiantly wasn't pain free, it hurt!
-
Still miserable begging for advice
I was in pretty good pain on day 3 so I called my surgeon and had them up my pain pill to a stronger one. After that I was good. I can't tell you about the other Things I was on liquids for a week after, I didn't eat any of that stuff.
