I think it took me a good 2 weeks to hit 60gms protein & 64ounce fluids. Just keep trying to do better each day. I never had any gas pain. If she's not experiencing any, it may not happen to her. Not everyone gets it. I never had gas pain as well. It's different for every patient. -

I bought a robe, slippers, extra underwear, pads and tampons (was on my cycle), iPad, phone, Chargers, toothbrush and toothpaste. My family was able to be with me in the pre-op room and prayed with before they took me back for surgery. They were in my room soon after I got there from recovery. I stayed 2 nights, had a hard time keeping my liquids down the first night. I got crochet braids, so I wouldn't have to fuss with my hair and wore my scarf at night :-) I was prescribed OxyContin and stop taking it two days after I got home. -

Any August Sleevers?
sleeveme77 replied to DrewzWife's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I just signed up on this site. My pre-op is 7 days full liquids. But I'm not real sure if I know what that's supposed to mean. There were no discussions about calories or carbs. My post op is much less restrictive: 3 days clear liquids, 9 days of full liquids, 7 days of puree/soft and then "as tolerated" after 21 days. I think all surgeons are different. I'm currently on the pre-op low carb diet for 2 weeks. My surgery is the 19th. I have noticed that my post op is a bit stricter than most, but I will follow his instructions. -

Do you know of any other secret Facebook groups? I've only told a few friends and family that I'm having this procedure and would love to join a FB group for additional support -

Thanks! It was fairly easy once I got started. I visited my surgeon once a month for 6 months so that they could monitor my weight and check my diet. I was required to visit the psychologist once per my insurance and my surgeon required 3 visits with the nutritionist. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. It's getting closer! -

I have an appointment for my first consult with Dr. Macik this coming Thursday. Is the six months an insurance requirement, or is six months if you self-pay too? It's my insurance requirements. Hope it all works out for you!
