Just waiting to hear what time surgery will be tomorrow. Eeeeeek! Bundle of nerves, trying to get things done around the house. Questioning if this is what I should be doing... I know it is the right thing, but last minute doubts are creeping in my head. Only Clear Liquids today, that is fine, I don't think I could keep anything else down.

Did you find out the time of your surgery yet? My surgery isn't until June 21st, but since I'm the first case of the day I already know that my surgery is @7:30 am. I can't imagine having to wait until the day before to find out your time. Everything will be fine, it's normal to have last minute jitters before surgery. I'm sure you are making the right decision. Good luck tomorrow!

Curious how you make out with that stuff. I was told to drink one bottle, wait, and stake out a bathroom. :-)

You said you took your 'first dose'? How much did they ask you to drink?

I had to drink half a bottle at 3pm, then the other half at 7.

What is the magnesium citrate for and why did they ask u to stay in the bathroom? I hope to have surgery next month and this is the first I'm hearing about this.

Its called a bowel prep where you drink this stuff that cleans you out so they say stay near a bathroom. My surgery is Monday and I got a prescription from my surgeon. I have to drink mine Sunday morning between 8am and 12pm and I can only have Clear liquids.

In the end, bowel prep wasn't that bad. Maybe because I have been eating mostly liquids for 2 weeks. Some flush able wipes were the best idea, toilet paper hurt.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
