The best pre-surgery advice I got was to bring an extension cord to the hospital so that you could charge your electronics. Do it; you'll feel like a genius. :lol:

Good luck girl im 2 weeks away from my pre-op diet!! Have a speedy recovery.

The best pre-surgery advise I've received so far is drink, drink, drink the day before surgery (which is today for me). EXCEED your normal 64 ounces. My RN said it will tremendously help! Good luck to everyone. I CANNOT wait until tomorrow!!!

I did it and my surgery wasn't until 1pm. Really did do me wonders. And since I used to get up and potty in the middle of the night, I slammed two big cups those times too. I had more time to get mine all out of my tummy tho as like I said, my surgery wasn't until 1pm.

I should also say that I was allowed Gatorade zero the day before..so I was slamming that all day before surgery. Maybe look or ask if that can be had as well. My hospital said they let all bariatric patients have that day before due to the nature of the surgery.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
