Hi folks, looking for other folks scheduled for March...anyone?

How are you preparing for surgery? What protein sources are you planning to use?

Anyone else having really bad dry mouth after being home? I think it might be the nausea med, I have to put under my tongue 4x a day

I had terrible dry mouth in the hospital. Ice chips helped the most. Crush some ice and suck on it. Helps get your water in too.

if you are on the hydrocodone liquid pain med that's what it is it stopped the day I switched to Tylenol

I found swishing water in my mouth and gargling a bit helped a lot without actually swallowing.

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting on my surgery. I have been calm all the way until now. I spoke to my 9year old daughter over the phone and she started crying now I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. Ughhhhhh

Thinking of you! Just had a bedtime prayer with my 8 year old. Sweetness is to hear your child pray for you. It's terrifying too. But deep breaths - we got this! I'll be at the hospital in about 13 hours. Hope you're doing ok. Post when you can!

Hi everyone. ... I've been reading posts on this site for a while now. I'm starting to get really excited and anxious. I Am scheduled for March 21 . I'll be flying down to San Diego...is anyone having surgery in Tijuana around that time? I don't have to much support from family and friends but it is something I've wanted for a long time. I'm 27 and ready to start a new life. Just looking for some positivity

I'm new to this site. Sugary is today at 11:30 and its 3am and i cant sleep. I'm scared and as hell.

Hang in there guys!! It's really not as bad as you imagine. The drugs are good.. I'm 10 days post surgery and totally no regrets! Down 10 pounds in 10 days....

How was your sleep the night before. Its 3:19 am and i still can't sleep.

I didn't sleep a wink the night before... Luckily my surgery was at 5am and the hospital is an hour away.. So I just stayed up and left early.
