Anyone get super sick when taking their Vitamins? I can’t seem to keep them down!

No, thank goodness. I take ProCare Now Vitamins. They're big, but they're easily digestible and break down quickly in the stomach.

I am anxious to hear from the ones who have had their surgery and would love to know how you are doing. My surgery is scheduled for March 2,2022 and would love to hear your progress. God bless.

I had surgery yesterday. Slept half the day afterwards. Gas bubble in chest, but it’s ok. Incisions hurt but it’s ok. Incisions hurt but not terribly. They’re giving me norco for that. Gave me some other meds in Iv to help with gas.

Has my surgery this am. Sleeve by robots lol. Did a lap. Was a little nauseous. Throat hurts from intubation. Some pain in incisions but over all ok.

Hey Feb Buddies. I am 48 hours away from surgery and I think I’m ready. I’m just nervous. I think I’m nervous about the surgery itself - like the anesthesia, waking up and the post op pain.

In the last 72 hours I have had cravings for foods. I think it’s about the very limited diet for the last 12 days. Has anyone else experienced that?

Other than the diet and the packing I’m not sure what else I should be doing. Any advice?

How are you or did you get ready? What did you do to pump yourself up for surgery? Any advice is appreciated!!

Hello
I’m scheduled for the 17th of this month. And have started my preop diet. I’m both excited and nervous. My surgeon has been readily available to answer my questions. He’s even had all my prescriptions called in and I’ve picked them up.
Did anyone else get a prescription to take the night before your procedure? I got aprepitamt this helps to avoid nausea.

My surgery is on monday. I can see in my online chart they've ordered meds for me for while I'm in the hospital. Nothing to take the day before. They ordered a nausea patch for the anesthesia.

This liquid diet is kicking my a**!!! Day 5 .. Surgery is 2/3

I'm on day 2, and I'm annoyed. LOL. I have a Migraine, and I'm tired, ugh. when you think of it - its a 4 week diet, because 2 weeks afterward!

I'm in Arizona and I'm scheduled for Feb 14! My surgeon requires a pre-op diet. 3-4 shakes a day, but can also have SF pudding, Jello, and popsicles, low-fat greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and a few other items. So I think I'll be alright. I start that on Monday, which is also when I go in for pre-op testing

Mine is on Feb 14. ☺️
