Surgery is getting close. Thursday morning.getting anxious

How exciting!!! R u ready? So many emotions before and after. I'm 7 weeks post op and still excited!

Just remember to sip Water non stop and stay hydrated.

Good luck and let us know how you do ????????

Good luck! Your going to do great Sip..sip..sip!

Two more sleeps for this chick.. Does it hurt to drink fluids afterwards? You're only able to sip for the longest time right? Is this because of the potential of tearing or hurting the pouch or because you physically cannot?

@@nprcowboy hey good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery sending prayers your way can't wait till it's my turn

Its physically not easy for some at first, at least for me. I was a huge Water drinker my whole life. But it gets better very quickly. Now I can eat and drink no problem and it's only been a short time.

You will do great!

Thanks Bella, I was supposed to start practicing to sip water etc.. But I'm a gulper by nature. I'm sure I'll be ok though.. I'll be very aware and basically my job for the next 4 weeks is to be mindful and go by the book.

Thanks for the advice.

I am a gulper too..it's nothing for me to down a whole bottle of water in one swoop...I was thinking of maybe having a medicine dropper for the first day or so to make sure I don't take any sips that are too large and painful...

That's a great idea re: medicine dropper.. Interesting thought.

and then there were 2 days !! Thanks for the replies folks. Yeah I'm a big Water drinker, even keep ice water on side of bed at night. Im also big at "washing" it down when I eat. Been practicing but hard. I have lost almost 17 lbs pre-op though!!!!!
