September 4Th Sleevers, What Are You Doing Today ? What Did You Do The Day Before Surgery ?



Recommended Posts

Thank for reminding me about the phone charger! Doy! My brain is not functioning right today. A lot of anxiety.

Those of you that don't have to drink the citrate, you are LUCKY. This stuff was nasty and leaves a horrible after taste. My stomach is hurting something fierce right now.

Tomorrow is the big day ! Woot Woot !

I had my surgery in Thursday, all I took to the hospital was my phone lol.... The day before surgery was just a regular day, I didn't even feel like I was getting surgery it was really odd... Goodluck to you! My pain only lasted a few days and I'm heading back to school tomorrow!

I am having my surgery a day after you guys on the 5th. Today I am doing the first day of my all liquid diet and watching a NCIS marathon on USA since I had today off from work. Tomorrow I am going to work' date=' and when I come home take my laxative and just chill and get ready for Wednesday.[/quote']

I will be joining you on the 5th. I took Tuesday off so i would not be tempted to cheat on my liquid day. Good luck Wednesday. My prayers are with you.

I was told to bring Mylicon drops if you cant do gas x (I'm bringing both!)... I'm mag citrate right now and I can barely stomach it-- it's horrible!! Wish I'd been on liquids now lol I'm also a nervous wreck! Hoping I chill out soon haha

Gas x strips

i was told that those did nothing since the gas is around our organs and not IN the organs. the Gas X only helps that and not the gas they put into our bodies...if that makes sense??

The only thing i do have to do is wash my tummy 2 times a day today and tomorrow and then once on Wednesday with this hexaclense stuff. It basically just kills any germs and helps prevent any infections. I have to call tomorrow to get my time for the surgery and its really hitting me now. For those of you going in tomorrow....see you on the losers bench!! :)

I'm amazed at how different each surgeon's requirements are. I'm scheduled for surgery this Wednesday and I've not had to do a lot of the things that I see others writing about. The only thing I have to do is be on a clear liquid diet tomorrow and take a Levaquin pill, as well as shower right before I leave for the hospital and wash really well with anti-bacterial soap. I didn't have any extended pre-op diet nor do I have to drink magnesium citrate. I wonder why things are so different for each surgeon?

Anyway, for everyone who has surgery this week...you're in my thoughts and prayers and I hope everything goes smoothly for each of you!

And if you have access to an eye mask and ear plugs, they certainly help with getting some much needed rest in the hospital!! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
