I'm have my surgery on mon Jan 21.

Hey all

Just found out I was approved for my surgery on 1/23. I am so excited and nervous. Having a hard time with the liquid diet. Still hungry most of the time. Can't wait to be on the other side with you post-oper's

Quick update. I went into surgery around 11:00. I have been continuously in and out of sleep. I feel much. Better than I thought I would. No throwing up or anything. No pain really, but I feel lots of pressure in my upper stomach area. Mouth and throat are very dry. Just got a wave of nausea. I'll write more later.

I am having my surgery the 23rd too! I am on day 2 of the pre op diet...not fun! But, ready to get on with the surgery.

Thanks for getting back to me. I also had the lap band but due to complications and pain I had it removed in October 2012. I too had it for 3 years. It was the worst three years of my life. We are around the same age I am 25. I don't yet have a surgery date. Where did you have your surgery done? I'm going through Lancaster general. How are you doing since your surgery?

I had my surgery on 1/9/2013, I feel great no problems keeping things down still on full liquids. In morning I have breakfasts shake, chocolate, vanilla and apricot pineapple. For my snack I make jello with whey protein (sugar free) you can get small 4 oz containers. So you get some protein with your snacks. Lunch and dinner I have two soups I eat. I have lost almost 20lbs, over 1" in my waist and that's just a guess; probably more. Any advice I can give someone is to follow your plan and take it slow.

Surgery date. 1/29. Approved 1/17.

I'm getting sleeved 1-29-13 too.

Do you have a pre-op diet. I don't think surgeon has one but I find out on Wed.

Not till the day before and they gave me a bottle of magnesium citrate. ..o.0

I took mag citrate and was so dehydrated they couldn't find a vein. Drink lots and lots of water after you drink that!

Thanks for letting me know..will do for sure.

I'm on a two week liquid diet. My surgery is 1/30

My surgery is in the morning so I am doing the mag citrate right now. I can totally see how you can get dehydrated. Wow!

What's sad is I wasn't ordered to do mag citrate but since I had been on low fiber high protein for months before surgery I felt constipated and thinking about trying to 'go' after tummy surgery sounded painful so I drank that vile stuff all on my own. Good luck with your surgery.
