Find a liquid that you can tolerate as soon as possible and drink as much of it as you can to stay hydrated. For me it was warm decaf tea. You'll feel better as your stomach becomes used to having something in it. Also, get up and walk while in the hospital everytime you go to the restroom. It moves the gas through you faster. Good luck!

You'll do great, this past Friday was was two week 'suriversary'. I feel wonderful. I've had very little discomfort. Turning over in bed was the worst, I had to be careful. If you are leaving your hometown, take a heating pad, it is wonderful. Don't bother taking a nightgown or slippers, they will have you in a hospital gown and those little hospital slippers your entire stay! Be prepared for a change in tastes after surgery. I'm from Texas and love everything COLD, extra ice. After surgery, the first week anyway, I like everything room temp., even milk. Very strange!

I'd recommend to get off caffeine now if you can - to make it a bit easier than going thru it all at the same time.

Also get any cleaning you need done at home before the surgery to take any pressure off your recovery. I also made some broths up and froze them for when I came home.

Its be done before you know it.....good luck

It's normal to feel scared, but remember that it's also perfectly normal to feel extreme regret immediately after the surgery...don't let it depress you since you'll feel so much better in a few days and you won't regret it at all especially when the pounds start melting off you. I wish I heard that before surgery. After 5 mos, I am so thankful I did it!

thank you sooo much for all the tips..im sure i will need them. im just soo scared that i wont drank all the water i will need to get...but hopefully i will be ok ....i just keep hearing sip sip sip....lol... soo we will see what happen thurs is my day and is coming fast

I'm with ya, LaToya! Thursday is my day, too! I'm just prepared for anything and everything, not being able to stuff myself with cruddy food will be wonderful! I almost hope that my tastes will change so I won't be craving Taco Bell and Taco Bueno anymore! We'll see though...I can't wait!!
