Only 12 hours till I get to be at the hospital. I'm pretty nauseous as I've never had surgery before. Really excited to be turning the page on this new chapter in my life.

V/r,

You will do great! Praying for you! Happy Weight Loss!

You will do gr8 praying for you!!????????

Take a deep breath and remember why this is so important! Good luck and congratulations!

Today your future begins

Good luck! You'll do fine...I was exact same way two weeks ago.

You will do great! I had never had surgery either! It was easy peasy! After surgery I was very tired for a few days. Then everyday after was all up hill. Kudos to you for being the change you need!

Hang in there you will sleep through the whole process.

You will be fine. Everyone is praying you. Just be sure to let us know how you're doing.

Thanks for everyone's replies. I'm at my parents house resting now. We are making the trek back home today (3 hours from surgeon). I'm pretty sore and the combination of medicine is cumbersome and complex. I have to crush and dissolve Sucralfate, drink it 30 minutes before the protein shake. Then 30ml of hydrocodone. Twice a day I take the silate stool softener. Now I get to begin crushing and taking all my other med stuff too. Ugh.

How do the meds taste crushed? Do you mix them with any liquid in particular? And how much liquid do you mix it with?

Not too bad. Its just they want you to take each one mixed with water. Thats a lot of fluid. Not sure about mixing them up.

We've all been there. Congratulations, you just earned yourself a full time job juggling protein and fluids and meds!!!
