To all my peeps that have surgery tomorrow: good luck and speedy recovery! I am so thankful for this group since everyone knows what I have to deal with and going through. Just took my dose of milk of magnesia , let the fun begin. Is it weird that I am not nervous and actually excited and anxious to get it done tomorrow and start the healing process?!

Surgery is scheduled for 730am tomorrow !!

My story is a hiatal hernia. And I'm sticking to it!!

I definitely would not take zquil tonight. I don't think anyone sleeps the night before surgery. You will get enough sleep during and after.

I can't even get excited about it anymore, I'm so nervous! Good luck tomorrow 26ers!!!!

I have watched the videos over and over too. I never thought to see if I could get mine on video. Good idea. I did tell him I wanted to see my stomach they take out though...morbid curiosity, I guess

I wouldnt take anything for sleep. But that's just me...I'm a worrier.
And dont beat yourself up over one chip....way better than the whole bag!

Lol, I am so nervous and scared. But I will not watch videos on it. When I had the endoscopy, the day before I watched videos on what to expect and the day of I was so scared lmao. Not doing that with this surgery

Good luck to everyone having surgery today! I still can't believe it's been a week already. Feeling great, no pain, just a little soreness at my incisions. Haven't thrown up anything yet and on mushies which I am tolerating well so far! How's everyone else doing?

Guys, I really appreciate all the advice. To 'Dub' - your comments weren't particularly helpful. I was out walking with my husband and we bought a 6 pack of sushi to share. I am on the soft foods regime at the moment and thought it would be OK. It was a snap decision and I didn't have my bariatric notes with me and had obviously missed seeing about rice so thought it was ok. Through this forum I now realise rice is a big no no. I was not playing 'stupid games' as you put it. It was an innocent mistake. Let's be honest there is a big list of foods and dos and donts.

The pre op liquid was the hardest for me. I suggest you get the sugar free Popsicles. And also the sugar free Jello. They were life savers for me. Just keep looking ahead to the big picture .thats what kept me going .i had my surgery last week and I'm on my last day of thin liquids. It's much easier afterwards .you don't have much of an appetite. Good luck

@Ivfavy c'mere and hold my hand while I tell you this.
If you have a job and you do it every single day, day-in and day-out, would you want anyone else doing that job? The nurses and surgeons are trained to do this one thing over and over. They are incredible experts. They could likely do it in their sleep. Take comfort in knowing they really know what they are doing and relax into their proficient hands.
Also know... by the time you get to the hospital, you will have been given so many instructions, which insure a positive outcome. You will have been prepped for months before you even got to the hospital. So take comfort in that as well.
I would go so far as to say, the surgery will be the easiest part because you don't even have to participate. You get to sleep through it!

I tried to stay busy this weekend to keep my mind off how nervous I am. House clean, laundry done, yard done, groceries bought, etc. I still have to pack a bag for my son and I, but I figure I will need something to do tomorrow night to occupy my mind.

@@JKBtx It could be stomach acid. This mimics hunger pains. Make sure to take a PPI. Drink plenty of fluids - broth can help with hunger too.
