Hey everyone. I am 3 days post op. I have been meeting my Water goals and slowing incorporating pudding Jello and applesauce into my diet along with Premier Protein. Even with waters, I get that terrible feeling that it is coming back up or it’s stuck...it passes in 3-5 seconds. I’m curious on how long this phase lasts. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Gah how do you deal with the wait?!? I hate waiting. Patience is my least favorite virtue, and I've neglected it quite wonderfully. But 1 week away is fantastic! What are you doing to distract yourself? Are you on a liquid preop?
I know the pain of the gas too having had my gallbladder out, that stuff is brutal!

I stay busy cleaning my house. Visiting my mom down the road....work & family life keep my brain occupied. Someone from the outside looking in, would have NO idea I was having a major life changing operation coming up.
I start liquid Friday. Only a 3 day pre op requirement for my doctor that I am thankful for. 1200 calorie diet until then. Still downing 64+ oz Water daily.

I have one week to go until my surgery. The count down is REALLY on. I couldn’t be more excited about this change in my life.

I do have some nervous feelings, as expected l, but I believe this is the right thing to do. I am going into surgery with one of my very best friends. I will have the best support from her!

Having had surgery on my uterus l, I know the gas pain is going to be the worst part of this but I am ready to conquer it! WALK WALK WALK.

I hope everyone is doing well and for those of you waiting, your day will come!!

You look great! Keep it up! I’m one week pre op! I’m so excited for this change and a better me!

I, too, drink better with a straw. I’m still pre-op, but I heard this, too. I’m guessing because of the little bit of extra air you take on with a straw. I’ve been practicing with sips and making my mark pre-op. We will see how it goes. *one week*

April 2nd! One week out!! Best wishes!
