LylaLovesCoffee replied to Sugar42's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am out of surgery and I had a little bit of nausea, but that finally subsided. The gas however took a bit longer, Drinking hurt big timed, so I did what any mother would do... I patted and rubbed my chest until I burped.. It was the most wonderful burp I've had today. I'm feeling sooooo much better. How are the rest of the 11/8's? -

Today is Surgery Day for me. I have to be there at 2 pm for surgery at 4 pm. I miss my coffee and water. I am 100% packed and ready to go after I get dressed. I'm such a procrastinator. Here is the list of what I took for those who are having surgery later on: (I use x's to check off my list hahaha) sleep earphones x Cpap hose and mask x baby wipes x toothbrush and toothpaste x deoterant x shampoo and body soap x brush/comb x hair ties for hot flashes x alcohol pads for nausea x lotion x pads for underwear x PJ's x underwear x robe x slippers x pillow x biotene dry mouth spray x lip balm x gas x gaviscon x crystal light and mio x -

Hi BunnyJean, I go in at 2 pm to have surgery at 4 pm. Weirdly I'm not hungry, just thirsty. Had to give up the water at 10 am. I'm not really nervous either. I made my list and checked it twice.. I'm 100% packed and showered... I just need to get dressed. Good luck with your surgery.. We've got this!! -

I go to the hospital in a few hours. My surgery isn't until 4 pm CST. I'm up all night anyway so this is good timing for me. Good luck with yours, may your nausea be calm or something like that. -

I'm 11/8.. I've been doing laundry and packing. I still have to shower with my hibiclens tonight and trying to find ways to relax. How are you doing @SeaSounders? -

I generally don't have post op nausea even when they took out my gall bladder, but this is my stomach, so it could be a whole different ball game. Thanks for the info. Good luck to you! -

It'll be worth it in the end. Good luck! One test at a time, one step closer to the goal. -
Tomorrow is the day. I don't have to be there until 2 pm and my surgery is scheduled for 4 pm. I had thought I was was strangely calm, but after it was pointed out to me that I was barricading myself on the couch with all the things I had to pack I have a clothes basket in front of me and a bunch of stuff beside me along with my sweet furbabies who love to lay next to me. Apparently I do this when I'm anxious. my way of protecting myself I guess.
Anyway here is a picture of my sweet furbabies who are trying to help me through the anxiety.

2 days for me too. I think about the nausea a lot. I don't like doing the "technicolour yawn" I really hate it be honest. So I'm hoping things will play nice and let me get through this without the fanfare of nausea. I'm not really starving. I've been finding ways to make liquid taste good, freeze it so I can chew it (that way I don't feel like I'm losing the eating experience) and just relaxing or trying to. I do a lot of colouring and that gets me through some of it. -

Tools are excellent and useful.. I have many I use. It's better to have many than none at all and think "I can do this I don't need help" That's what gets us in trouble. -

I have an app called Water Drink Reminder that I started using a few months ago to try and remind myself to sip. I'm a gulper too. It's difficult, sometimes I forget and I have to stop myself. Good luck to you on Wednesday. May you too have a speedy and successful recovery. -
I started my liquid diet yesterday. I feel like I should be missing eating food, but I'm not. I don't get it. Maybe it'll show up later after a few weeks of being on liquids. Maybe I'm in denial, who knows. Right now I'm feeling calm and positive. I hope this lasts until Wednesday. 2 more days!

I know about bad knees. I walk with a walker now because I'm afraid I'm going to fall down. I know my weight is affecting that. I'm hoping that this journey will help with that and a few other issues along the way. -

I too have been all over YouTube and a few other websites getting insight and as much information I could find to make my decision on the rest of my life. I choose this because I know in my heart it is something that will help me help myself. -

Thanks. I thought it was another thread and that was in the pre op thread. My mind is off on it's own tangent. -
