August 6'ers?

I know I saw several people getting sleeved on August 6th like me. I began my pre-op liquid diet today and am getting super excited and nervous!!!

What is your pre-op diet like, did you eat any of your favorite foods last week (I know I had a few meals of my favorites), what do you find most exciting/most scary?

Thanks for the reply.....I've had chicken broth (twice), lots of Water, and two SF popsicles...no gum....and no laxatives....I get that tomorrow LOL

Thanks again....maybe it's just nerves.

WARNING....THIS MAY BE TMI........

Need some input......I'm on day 1 of the clear diet protocol........and complete diarrhea......is anyone else having this?

I don't feel ill' date=' no temperature.......feels like when I did a colonoscopy.......everytime I drink, 5 minutes later I'm heading to the bathroom.....I'll call the dr's in the morning.....but wondering if anyone else is having this too.

Thanks![/quote']

I had that problem too.. It's normal.. Because your basically cleaning out your system. Just keep hydrated and think of the goal!

:-D

I wished I had some travel wed mild mouthwash. The combo of ketosis and surgery left me with something less than a fresh mouth :)

And I promise you, I do actually know how to spell. Combo of autocorrect on iPad, and one day post op not a good one :)

Yeah, I check in at 6:45am tomorrow morning. Work is going to DRAG today...

I'm going in for 8:15....wish it was earlier......does everyone have to do the milk of mag. this afternoon? After yesterday, I'm not sure it will do anything LOL

PattGee, I am scheduled for surgery Thursday. Start my liquid pre op tomorrow. My dr told me to take milk of mag too. I thought he said tomorrow night, which is 2 days before surgery. How close to surgery do you have to take it?

No m.o.m. for me. Getting nervous. Didn't get my time yet.

I'd call them to verify it.....Mine told me to take it this afternoon (the day before surgery).

yamgirl.....the hospital should call you today to confirm the time.....wish I had no m.o.m. for me, too LOL

Wishing you all well....I'll probably be surfing again at 2 a.m. when I can't sleep because I'm too excited/anxious for tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

I have to be at hospital at 6:00 a.m. - no MOM for me but I'm supposed to drink 8 - 10 glasses of water today. Very anxious but excited to be on the other side!

I just packed. I have to be at the hospital at 8:15. Nerves are much better and I'm getting more and more excited. My prayers are with all the August 6ers.

This has been the longest work day ever!! I am not really scared about surgery but very restless today. I have no focus. I have to be there at 6 am tomorrow. I am so excited. Glad I am the first surgery of the day.

Prayers with all the August 6'ers!!

got my time. 11:15.. just got out of work. Won't be going back there for a while. Excited, scared and hungry..
