Hi,

I am also on Nov. 4th. Just started the liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I'm hungry. My only worry about the surgery is the nausea. General Anesthesia always makes me pukey!

Me too! Anesthesia and pain killers. I swore I'd never have surgery again but this is important.

I agree about the pain killers too. Am hoping to get scopolamine patch and put on the night before. Also going to tell them I don't want narcotic pain meds. There are other alternatives. I am in Wisconsin, where are you?

I live in Florida but I'm having my surgery in Mexico. I've already asked about not using narcotics and they said it wouldn't be a problem. Also, the surgeon prefers we walk to alleviate pain. I'm all for natural remedies!

As far as nausea after anesthesia, just ask the doctor to put some of the anti-nausea medication in your IV. I told them about how I got sick one time after surgery (different situation than WLS) and the surgeon made sure the anesthesiologist put the anti-nausea meds into the IV drip. Solved all problems there.

I'm on my 5th (of 14) pre-op diet day. The first four days were a bear and a half. I was starving!! All I'm allowed is up to four Protein shakes and Clear liquids (broth, sugar free popsicles, etc.) and I couldn't stop eating popsicles, sugar-free Jello, etc. and it wasn't calming things down. Thankfully day 5 has been so much better!!

I went through days of battling my own mental battles about having WLS even after getting myself ready for it all. I found I wasn't prepared for the drastic reduction in intake. But it has gotten better and now I know I can do this!!

November 4th is my main focus---the day of surgery!! and start of a new frontier.

      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! 😞
