I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

I got roses and those aren't edible. Smart husband of mine....but we took my mom out to dinner and they had a wonderful meal and I packed my jello and brought a boullion cube and the waiter gave me hot water. I accidently used a straw taking my first couple sips of iced tea and realized what I was doing. Oops!!! No harm done though. Had a nice time and their food and desert didn't bother me in the least.

My husband showed up with flowers n a gorgeous Coach purse! I'm home more but feeling sore n gasy. A lil naucious too. When will it go away?

I was extremely nauseous yesterday and I couldn't even sip 2 medicine cup sizes of water... I ended up throwing up and being soooooo nauseous all night they kept giving me zofran (spelling?) but it would wear off in an hour! Not as much nausea today so have me lightly sipping a protein shake... They think that a lot of the nausea was caused by the stuff I had to drink for the upper GI... I want to go home but I'm so afraid of dehydration and nausea! Anyone else having problems with liquids??

Did you have to drink barium for the upper GI? Was that your leak test?

Have you asked about phergan? Works better than zofran IMHO

Hello newbies Drujon and Evolving. I'm scheduled for the 26th and am on my pre-op diet. You can do this, Drujon! I know how hard it is to quit smoking, but you've got to keep your eye on the prize.

Emmy, I hope you start healing up and feeling better quickly. I can't imagine vomiting with the new stomach is any fun.

Hi everyone! I am new to the sight. Set to be sleeved on 2/20/13 by Dr. Weaver in Memphis, TN. I am very excited for

this new journey in my life.

Hi! Be sure to do a lot of reading up before your surgery. This site is a goldmine of info!
