Congrats!

We'll be under at the same time. From what I've read a couple of things you must take are gasx strips and a heating pad. There is a whole thread pinned on this under the pre-op forum.

Good luck! It will go well for both of us.

I had mine yesterday, I've used my pillows, blanket, night clothes to walk around the halls and Chapstick. Good luck.

Well I officially joined the losers bench as of yesterday. The surgery went well, but I had a hard time coming out of anesthesia. Then swallowing the water nod protein shakes. I guess because I was on so much pain medicine. Started dry heaving, that is no fun at all. But this afternoon so much better. I never once got nervous or scared pre surgery but on a side note. I don't know why I didn't think of it, I have a area that is severely caved in on my stomach. The dr says, well yea, its where I took your stomach out. Mmmm, might have to blame on the drugs.

I'm all set for September 26th. Liquid diet starts tomorrow!

I too am on the 26th. Today I started a five day, 1000 calorie a day diet. After which I will switch over to three days of liquid and then time for surgery. Glad I don't have to do 8 days of liquid.

Bring a pillow for the ride home to help with bumps and jolts from the car, that's what I've been hearing.

My doc would not let me use gas x strips - she said it was better to let the gas come out on its own. The heating pad was also a no go.

im also for the 26 :-)

So! I'm 4 days sleeved! Thanks for all the well wishes. I spent 2 nights in the hospital because I just couldn't manage my protein. I didn't throw up or anything but I just couldn't do it, Id fall asleep with the cup in my hand. I felt nauseous. It was hard and I definitely had some "buyers remorse" on Tuesday. I felt horrible once they pulled me off the pain medicine pump. I was allowed to go home yesterday and haven't had pain meds in 2 days. I'm about 75% better, trying not to push myself too much knowing it could set me back more. I'm doing my protein and walking and everything I should be and just hoping for the best results! Good luck all!
