Ollyve reacted to Misty27 in Sugery tomorrow!
Just wanted to thank everyone who responded to me in my panic. It helped to ease my anxiety a great deal. It is now day 4 post-op. I'm back at work! I know not everyone will have the same experience but I had a great hospital staff. I woke up with some pain which they quickly took care of. As soon as a little nausea set in, they quickly took care of that. They all really helped to keep me pain free, nausea free and hydrated. I am so grateful to the staff at RWJUH in New Brunswick NJ, Dr. Antoine, and to all those on this forum who responded to my "fear and anxiety" post.
Good luck to all of you who are waiting for the surgery! All I can say is let your doctors and nurses know right away if you're uncomfortable and listen to your body. I'm looking forward to joining all the losers! 😀

I just went through it 7 1/2 weeks ago and everything's okay. No infections, no leaks, no Constipation, no pain, no anything. You'll be fine. Take care and good luck tomorrow.

Ollyve got a reaction from Debbi Moore in Any Other Sleevers who did NOT have to do liquid diet before?
My surgery is scheduled for 2/8 and I do not have to do a liquid diet. I asked my nutritionist as I see so many here posting about it but she said it wasnt necessary. I only have to do liquids on the day before, I can do Water, Decaf black coffee, cranberry, apple or grape juice .... good luck

Good work everyone!

I'm 1 week post-op, so I totally understand where you're coming from. Instead of thinking of your surgery in a negative light, think of it positively—this surgery is a tool that will improve your quality of life! You can do this! I'm trying to think of this time as a reset with my relationship with food.
The time will pass and you'll be back to eating food. Also, some of the foods that you think you can't eat anymore, you will be able to! You may have to eat them in smaller portions or modify them to work better with your sleeve, but it's not the end of your favorite foods! This part of the journey is tough, but so are you—you'll get through this.
