I feel like a bag of assholes.

I had to spend an extra night in the hospital because of the nausea. I'm home now and still nauseous, can't keep down the pain meds and am apparently screaming in my sleep because it hurts to move.

Does anybody have any experience with this? How long can I expect this nausea to carry on?

thanks shy. its getting here quick. i am excited about the plication and have read alot about it. i know this is a new beginning for me and all the other banders (and newly banders).

melinda such lovely words' date=' thank you.

well, i know my surgery is day surgery. i asked my dr would i stay overnight, he said i would. (i think bc of my sleep apnea but am not sure). i may feel more comfy overnight knowing thr dr and nurses are there w/pain med if i need it. so i think i am spending the night. as for you, if you feel comfortable and ok to go home, id say go . just go by what your body tells you.

i know after my gallbladder surgery, i was up and about well but the next day was painful as hell. that was xmas eve too. i am so hoping it goes smoothly like my gallbladder.

hows your liquids??? doing okay??[/quote']

I think I'm going to feel better staying too. Meds are a great reason to stay... LOL

Liquid is going but dang I really want to chew something!!! And already so tired of everything sweet!!! Fortunately no head ache today. How about you? This has got to be he hardest thing I have ver done. My stomach is gurgling but I must say I am pretty proud of myself for not cheating at all! 2 days down 3 more to go. We are almost there!!! How is it going for you Carolina? KAH?

I will admit I cheated today, but I'm back in the right mindset and ready for these next few days of liquids before surgery. I'm also doing overnight at the hospital and not outpatient. I think it's better to be safe than sorry, right?!

well gf, end of day 3 on all liquid and doing well......still runs but hanging in there with that...i am not a sweet person either and i agree everything seems so sweet. am glad for the broth esp at work. i drink 2 big cups of that at wk and it def feels me up.

am glad i did the 2 shakes per day last week oe i think it would be alot tougher on me right now,

are you getting the plication also?

cheated, how? what? i bet it wasnt bad at all.....

Thanks Shy! I can't wait. Love having y'all here for extra support and advice! I like so fast I can't be nervous!

Yes I am having plication... And good job Carolina! I am dying to have an egg white or something... Not gonna do it but really really want to.

Hang in there KAH... We're almost there!

egg white hell, cheese pizza when hub made my shakes tonight, he put in cup and said *here's your pizza*

Bahahaha! He's a funny guy... Lol. No I'm trying to think of something that if I cheated it probably wouldn't really affect the diet... I am so so hungry! I have been doing a breakfast shake but that was it, thinking 2 would have been more helpful... And don't get me wrong, I would dig into an Italian firehouse sub right now and not look up until it was gone!!! #reallywantfoodbut

i decided if i cheat , it will be applesauce or a cracker or cream chix soup......so far so good w/no cheating. i couldnt be doing this good if it wasnt for my hub and my friend kathy at wk, big time support.

Not the end of the world, but I had a bagel for breakfast this morning because I assume it's not likely I'll ever be able to eat 1 again. Anyway, soup for dinner and sf jello. Tomorrow is a new day. Only a few more until we're on the other side. Yay.

Lol great sense of humor!

I'm on modified...then clear liquids only on monday. I know I'll be fine. Not letting myself get upset about it. I like being able to vent and get real with you guys. I've told 2 people about my surgery and they're supportive, but there is no way for them to really 'get it' with this whole process.

well i am here, and bama (and everyone else). you can vent, b***h, moan celebrate etc to your hearts content. i will listen and be here for you guys no matter what..

****this is the part where you say that to me**** LMAO

Carolina--Well, it goes without saying that you can b!tch all you want and we're here to listen! Lol

Ps: I'm alternating right now between excited like wow I'm gonna lose this weight and nervous like yikes they're folding my stomach in and putting a band on it! Also, there's the anxiety of what my new life will be like/feel like after the procedure.
