Whose having surgery in july? my date is the 9th!

Great thanks. So' date=' I'm assuming that I can start adding it to my water as soon as I have surgery also? Call me nuts, but I really can't tolerate the taste of any water since I started this darn liquid diet. It has changed my taste buds completely.[/quote']

Hi Kieshart! You're not nuts at all! Water has lots of minerals and also high surface tension. So adding crystal light will lower the surface tension and it will be easier on your new, beautiful stomach! Lots of people can't tolerate water after surgery :-) you're not alone.

Here's a list of my week one clear liquids:

Crystal Light, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jell-o, Broth, Propel, de-caffeinated tea/coffee

Hope everyone who had surgery today is doing well. July 23rd sleevers, we are up tomorrow!!!!! I can hardly believe it. I'm nervous, excited, and my stomach is upset. I will be praying for all of my sleeve sisters that we have uneventful surgeries and quick, pain free recoveries. Xoxo

My date is July 31 I'm super excited. I start my pre-op on the 24 I have a question did any have to meet with the anesthesiologist before surgery and if so what did the do or discuss?? I have to meet mine the day before surgery

They took a history and physical, asked all about med allergies and previous anesthesia experiences, gave me directions for meds up to the morning of surgery, and checked their visibility of my airways.

Thank you so much. You are so helpful!

I begin my pre- op diet tomorrow (all liquids) and the citrate of magnesium at 2 p.m. I have a friend going with me to the hospital because she has already been through this. I'm feeling awkward about telling my family. My kids are all out of town.

I am glad you have a friend, you do need the support. The only person who knows about my surgery is my husband. It is the right decision for me. Everyone is different. You will do great!

After not being too nervous before; today I am just a bundle of nerves!!! Tomorrow is the big day! I am packed and ready to go in the morning! i hope I can get some sleep tonight! Good luck all!!

In just under 12 hours, I will be checking in. Oddly, I'm not nervous. I'm just ready!

I was complete nerves right up to the time the wheeled me back. They gave me a sedative & that's all I remember. I remember waking up in recovery with the nurse showing my my incisions. Everything went great. Recover has be super fast & I'm enjoying my new life.

You ladies will do great!! Be blessed
