Here's what I don't get....I am no Einstein, but since my degree is in mathematics I do think differently....if they pump your abdomen with gas to make more ruin for surgery ....how the bleep does it get in your digestive tract to be expelled by farting? I've had lap surgery and had little pain with gas settling in shoulders...just had to walk/move for the body to make it disapate

The gas gets into your GI tract when they open your stomach first to remove the portion they are cutting out before stapling

Pre Op diet with surgery scheduled for the 13th.... need to vent... ex-husband just called with the premise of "being supportive" and proceeded to explain to me that I need to make sure I realize this is a "permanent" surgery and that I came to him with the decision made, not to make it with him..... and you have lost almost 30 pounds pre-op so I know you can do it... As if he hasn't spent the last 17 years with me, watching me lose, gain, lose and gain some more... and all the health complications that come with it! UGH!!! Already emotional, shaky and headache on liquid diet... and I did the WORST thing I could have done... Ate a chicken sandwich... Now I feel sick, I allowed someone else to push my emotional buttons into sabotaging myself... Someone, PLEASE tell me I am not alone and I have not just screwed up everything by eating that damn sandwich! ugh..

Sorry for the long rant.. Had to get it out...

Don't beat yourself up. The more you do that, he continues to win. There is always a new day so don't look back. Hang in there. I start my preop diet in a week and get sleeved 2/25. If there is one thing for sure it's that none of us are perfect and its ok if we mess up. Pick ourselves up and move on. Hang in there!!!

I'm slated to have my surgery on the 28th. It's all I'm thinking about. I'm so glad to have found this site. Everyone seems so supportive and honest with their post. Besides my husband no one knows that I am doing this, it's nice to have found an outlet to talk about it.

I love this site and all of you co-sleevers!! I know he cares, but he trying to project his own fears and insecurities on me. I need love and support right now.. Thanks again! Just beating myself up a little bit as you put it... have been 100% faithful on 2 weeks of Pre-Op 1200 calorie diet, then day 2 of 1 week liquid diet, BAM..... Tomorrow is another day... {HUGS}

My surgery was this past Tuesday, and I only had 3 days Clear Liquids before the surgery. No pain meds since 4am Wednesday morning. Not in any pain, but I have some tenderness where the drain tube is, but that is because my asthma is acting up and I have been coughing, been holding a pillow close to me and that helps. I didn't get the gas pains this time, PRAISE GOD. Starting Saturday I can go to full liquids (runny oatmeal, cream of wheat, soup) Tuesday I go back to the dr and have the drain removed that part scares me... I had a NG tube for the first 24hrs, it's suppose to help with nausea, that wasn't so bad removing. I was told that I can't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.. So far so good, praying it stays this way... Wishing everyone the best!!

Pretty good...I have lost 13lbs, so I'm quite happy with that - luckily for me I quite like the Protein Shakes, so it hadn't been too bad. How about you?
