Welp! 1 week post-op tomorrow and it looks like I just had my emotional breakdown...
starfishwish replied to Luv2luv2luvya's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 11 days post op, and I am a New Yorker about to be transplanted in SC next month! -
TMI**** Women ONLY****

The hospital gave me a huge long pad to just put in place. No panties allowed. -
I'm one week out also. Between the pre op diet and this week, I'm down 12 pounds. I'm still having a lot of gas and nausea, but I'm getting my protein and water in. My protocol is liquids 2 weeks post op

Very fearful of being nauseated
starfishwish replied to Dabearo's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was not as lucky. I was nauseas from the moment I woke up. I had constant episodes of gagging and wretching. They were giving me 4 different nausea meds and an antispasmodic. I wound up staying 3 nights in the hospital instead of one. On the flip side, I had zero pain and needed no pain meds at all. I was not expecting or prepared for that. Everyone is different. -

Yogurt options pre-op
starfishwish replied to BlessedMomma's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was allowed dannon light & fit vanilla for pre op. -
I was BMI 38, and had to do one week of liquids pre op.

I am going through the same. My surgery was 6/2, and I had a rough time of it. I couldn't tolerate fluids, I was gagging and wretching. I was in the hospital for 3 nights. Today is the first day I am feeling decent. I still have some nausea, but am keeping liquids down now. I feel a little better each day, I hope you do too [emoji173]️

I'm on day 4, and having a really hard time getting anything down. They kept me in the hospital 3 nights due to constant nausea and wretching. I'm at about 20 oz so far today.

Surgery postponed for the right reason
starfishwish replied to Seahawks Fan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had regret right after. Mostly bc of the poor reaction I had with anesthesia. Then due to that poor reaction, I stayed 3 nights in the hospital. I'm 4 days out and feeling pretty decent today -
No Negative Comments! Did anyone cheat during Pre op
starfishwish replied to Misha42000's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
On day one of my pre op liquid diet, about halfway through the day, I had the shakes and felt like I'd die. I had a square of flat bread. After that, I was 100% compliant. -
Headed to the hospital in 30 minutes [emoji4]

I am still at the hospital, so far I've been here for three nights. My nausea just won't quit, and the doctor says I'm not taking in enough fluids
-
Well I made it through alive! So far I have had zero pain from the surgery or incisions, so taken no pain meds. However, the gas and nausea I've had is horrible. They are actually keeping me a second night because of it. Terrible wretching and gagging. BUT, I made it though the swallow test and all is well, so I'm siting here sipping my meal[emoji4]

I'm on day 7 of full liquids- surgery is tomorrow! Not sure what time yet, they will call me between 5-7PM tonight to let me know. I'm a little nervous, but so ready for the next chapter

I have a question
starfishwish replied to TammyLee66's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had my pre surgical testing and they told me no nail polish on the fingers. -
Discouraged after initial consult Low BMI woes
starfishwish replied to GassyGurl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was similar. My initial consult went the same. I went twice and gave up. Fast forward a year later, I was back in his office with a BMI of 38, high blood pressure and sleep apnea, and my highest weight since I was pregnant. As a yo yo dieter, I struggled for 6 months to maintain this high weight, and I did. Over that course I gained and lost the same 7 pounds. Surgery is Friday for me! -

I believe the brand Herb Ox does. I saw the no sodium beef broth today. I'm pretty sure they have chicken too
-
I'm on day 4 of 7 pre op liquid diet today. I'm just trudging along. This isn't the worst, but I can't say I'm enjoying it. [emoji23] Scale shows -5 pounds today.

Surgery Tomorrow!
starfishwish replied to Seahawks Fan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good luck! I have pre surgical testing tomorrow, clearance on Wednesday and surgery Friday. Yikes! -
I don't think I'm gonna make it.
starfishwish replied to AmandaWho's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hang in there... when is your surgery? I am one week from today! Today is day one of my 7 days pre op liquid. I then have 2 additional weeks of liquids post op, before I can move on to purées. -
Last Post As A Pre-Op
starfishwish replied to MBird's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you! I really hope I'm feeling as good as you are post op! I know it's a long shot, but my son is receiving a recognition that is very important to him the day after my surgery at 4PM. I am wondering if I will be able to at least attend for a few minutes. I plan to follow everything I can to the word, just as you described. (I also think to myself- I've had 3 C sections. I think I can do this![emoji4]) -
