Hope everyone is doing well. I'm two days post op now and feeling good. My surgery was Thursday at 11:30 I left the hospital about 5. Yesterday I slept most if the day just taking in Water as I felt nauseous. After getting medicine for nausea I feel so much better today. I have gotten in an Optifast and some chicken broth. I have pain when getting from sitting other than that the pain is not bad at a all. I have not taken pain meds since last night. So just wanted to update so new people heading in to surgery will know its not bad at all. The way I feel now I feel I'll be fine to go work on Monday;)

Good luck banders hope your surgery goes well!

I'm glad you feel well. Thank you for coming to update us. Is your anti nausea medication over the counter or by prescription?

It is prescribed by the dr. It's called Zofran. It works really well.

Had my upper endoscopy done yesterday and walked out of the procedure with my gastro's permission for surgery. Had my last surgical consult last night so I am all set for my surgery next Friday. Have not received approval for the surgery from Aetna yet but the surgeon's office swears they will have it in time and that I've done all I can do.

Lost 21.5 pounds in the first pre-surg diet week. One week to go!

You have done amazing! 21 in a week! Wow. I hope they approve you!

Ok folks, who's a little concerned about getting enough fluids, calories in the first few days post OP? I am a little. After my final visit with the nutritionist it just hit me that it might be a little tricky at first.

How did those of you who have done this do post OP? Any suggestions?

I agree. NO GAS! NO GAS! Good luck to you too. Are you nervous? I am getting a little nervous. But' date=' I am more excited about my new life.[/quote']

Yes, I'm getting nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time. I can't believe it's almost here. I feel like I've been waiting forever for this. Can't wait for the much needed change, I'm sure you feel the same way. Less than 48 hrs away......yay!

1 day post op. Ended up having to spend the night because my surgery got delayed by 3 hours, but, all in all, it wasn't a bad thing. Got some much needed rest & so far the pain has been tolerable. Thank God for pain pills, gas-x & heating pads.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Im having an issue, im day 6 pre op and have done what im supposed to I think, but my morning meds are causing me trouble (my everyday count is 5 pills am and 7 pm pills) . When I take my morning meds I am supposed to eat with them. Im finding that even immediately after a shake or Soup, I am nauseaous and end up expelling them. Im also worried about after the surgery, isn't it going to be almost impossible to get them down?

Is there anyone else who has dealt with anything like this?

October 9 I have less than 2 days gettin nervous. I kinda cheated one day on my liquid diet hope it doesn't affect my surgery

I cheated on mine once wasn't to bad tho and they let us eat whatever we wanted the night before my surgery so I don't think you have anything to worry about good luck on your surgery I just had surgery on the 3rd

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
