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?

Nov 14th. Just finished the pre admission with the hospital. Ready to go. But a bit nervous

So I have been out of it pretty much all day. Still no pain, I can have only sips of Water. I have been walking and walking when i am not sleeping,

Prayers to all having surgery today tomorrow is my day who else is 11/8?? The nerves are starting to kick in trying to keep busy!

I still need to lose the complete oxford english dictionary.. an automobile tire ... and a rack of baby back ribs.. lol

It'll be worth it in the end. Good luck! One test at a time, one step closer to the goal.

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.

Just had my preop appt. with my surgeon. It went well. He is giving me a drug called Amend. You take one pill three hours before surgery, and it prevents post op nausea. He says he has used it in 700 procedures, and it works well. Insurance may not cover it, but it only costs $30. I thought I should mention this since so many people suffer with this.

It's normal. I too am Nov 8th. I've had the whole roller-coaster of feelings. I'm on low carb diet until Sunday and then I'm on full liquids until surgery. Good luck with yours. I'm sure we'll both do fine.

I totally think this would make a great bumper sticker... inside joke, anyone?
This is the funniest thing I've read on this board...

Hi everyone - late comer here. I have my ESG scheduled for 9a tomorrow morning in NYC.
Now on one day of clear liquid before - total respect for all of you who have to do this longer than a day!

That's why I up'd it to 60. Its hilarious!!!!!!

Good luck! You got this!!!! Sending you good thoughts and a speedy recovery! Let us know how you're doing when you're out!

My surgery is scheduled for 2pm. All will Be well! You got this!! We made it this far!

Yup you are a November sleever LOL What a difference around the world with the "diet" and even all over the USA. I will be on liquids ONLY for 3.5 weeks. Then I will be on puree foods for 3 weeks, then soft foods for 3-4 weeks and then start small meals. So your puree potatoe and cottage cheese that you ate after a week, I cannot have for 3.5 weeks. Though I will like the full liquid diet so much better than this clear liquid diet. At least full liquid has Protein Drinks which fill you up. Course I have not been sleeved yet. Two days. Thanks for sharing your story. I think all of us "pending" are curious and even nervous about what to expect. Everyone's experience is so different. Continued good luck to you!!!

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.

Oh good luck with your journey you two Nov 1 sleevers! Keep posting how things are going. I go in two days. Right now, I'M STARVING. My gosh I hate nausea so bad. I think it's the pain meds and nothing in our guts for a few days before surgery. That's what Vitamins do to me when I take them before I've eaten. Stay strong!!! Sounds like maybe the worst is behind you! I think that all newbies struggle with getting in the Protein. We have limited volume but alot of protein and Water to get in!!

Welcome, and congratulations on taking such an important step. I was also sleeved on Nov. 1.

I had some nausea in recovery and threw up a couple times before they even got me to a room.

I came home the next day and each day seems a little better. I'm struggling with getting in all my Protein and fluids right now but I'm making extra efforts.

How's your energy level so far today? Mine is tanked. I need to have some lunch and go for a walk.
