Is anyone seeing my posts? I never get any replies to them. I am on my second day of Clear Liquids and im so nauseated its awful! Is this normal? I have my surgery tomorrow and my anxiety is getting the best of me today. I am trying to fight it and stay busy but its hard.

You some good responces this time, only thing I can add, maybe cause you are so close you nerves are getting to you . Take nice long walk and enjoy the ride, you are almost home free!

My surgery is scheduled for Oct 21st. I start my 2 week pre-op diet tomorrow and also have my final meeting with the surgeon and dietician. Getting super nervous. I just want it over and done with.

My surgery is 10/21, too! I'm starting the liquid diet tomorrow as well. Best of luck to you and I'll be thinking of you as I'm being rolled into surgery!! ????

Yes. My surgeon is Adam smith at Fort Worth Lap Band. I LOVE him, but wasn't as happy with the surgery center staff.

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear! I just got sleeved this morning and there's no way I could have left 6 hours later. I hope everything else goes well for you. And you heal quickly

Thank you for your replies. I have drank a ton of Water and am feeling better now. I got the call and I am scheduled for surgery at 8am. I am very happy about this because this means I am the first or second surgery so I wont have much time in the morning to get too nervous. It is now after 3 pm here and I have made it this far, I am not going to quit now.

Thank you again for your support and my thoughts and prayers are with you all tomorrow!

Capi, do you think the pain meds were causing the nausea? My date is Oct 13. Today was day 8 on liquid diet. Starting to feel a little anxious....Hope you're felling better!! ????

Im scheduled for October 21st.. starting my diet tomorrow!

Capi, I know the pain meds were causing my nausea 2 days after my surgery. I cut down on the pain meds and started using some liquid Tylenol during the day when I needed a little something for the pain. Then pain meds just 2, maybe 3 times during the day.

It's day 6 post surgery, I seem to have one day that I'm feeling almost back to normal, then next day it's a challenge just to get dressed. My body trying to adjust to not getting much fuel I guess.

Strange, old way of thinking, I still expect to see a change in my appearance overnight! I go to surgeon tomorrow for my week checkup and I get to start eating cream Soups and Protein drinks, yeah!!! I am anxious to see what my weight is, not seeing any change outside but know there is probably still swelling, so hope I do see some change on the scale.

Remember, we are in it for the long haul!

@@IWannaBeSvelte and @BP'sMamaG - It was absolutely the pain meds. I feel so much better now that I have stopped them completely. I have Tylenol and Ibuprofen on standby if needed I am so happy to be past those first few days (currently on day 6)! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and there is a pair of size 7 jeans waiting there for me!

Oh boy. Started the 2 week diet today. 4 shakes, 1 Soup, 1 bar. I want food already hahaha. Ugh. I'm sure it will get easier. It's just a little odd right now to not have almost any chewable food.

Krimrod: I have the same exact diet and I started mine today, too. I've only had 2 shakes so far...don't like them, but trying to choke them down. Will be trying the soup in just a little bit. The bar wasn't too bad.

Best of luck to you!!!

[Monasongbird_38 73]

What kind of Soup and what kind of bar?

[krimrod 39]

BeccaE1: Best of luck to you too!

Monasongbird: Mine is all Bariatric Advantage products. The Soup is a Protein vegetable soup. The bar is an apple cinnamon Protein Bar.

[BeccaE1 38]

Mine is the same...Bariatric Advantage. I just tried the Soup and ugh, it's going to be a very long 2 weeks!!!
