@@edie091371 I just sent you a friend request on Facebook so we can stay in touch. I hope I got the right person.

@@irishaggie Are you on Facebook?

I am having the gastric sleeve on October 19th! Doing pretty well on the pre-op diet, getting excited and nervous after reading through all these posts!

I will add you @@sorrynomore ! You will do great! I had my gastric bypass on the 8th & I can tell you it was much easier than I had anticipated!!! I think partly what helped me was doing everything that the Dr. had asked me to do & having great support on here! Everyone is different & usually you hear about the bad before the good!! Best of luck to you!

Surgery went really good. I'm just sleeping on and off right now, I have pain and nausea but the meds help a little. Hope everyone else is doing good

Mine is 10/29

Mine is tomorrow! I'm having a lot of stinking thinking such as, what if they can't do it because my liver didn't shrink enough! That's the worst today. Hope I can get my work done today. I'm supposed to drink this stuff at 4pm. What would happen if I drink it at noon? I can't have anything to eat today other than clear liquid. .

I don't think you should worry about your liver, I was only on a 1 day liquid diet. & I would just follow all directions. I started drinking the magnesium citrate about 2 hrs late cause they took forever to register me at the hospital. but I was fine. Don't be nervous, hope everything goes great!

I'm 3 days post-op. I was sent home yesterday. I only sent one night in the hospital, which was fine by me be a I got no sleep. Someone was on my room every 10 minutes around the clock.

So far the pain has been from gas. That has been my most difficult part of this. I walk and walk, but it's so hard for that gas to love. It's hard for me to breathe yesterday because of the gas pain. I walked a lot through the night. So it's much better this morning.

Today is my first day for protein shakes and vitamins. I hope it goes ok. Other than that, my my body is just sore. Hoping it gets better day by day.

Surgery tomorrow morning at 9am. Nervous. Headed to the hospital to do the last minute upper gi, X-rays, and lab work. I'm ready to go! Hope everything goes well for everyone. I feel blessed to have been able to read and interact with all of you during this process. You are the only ones who can truly understand what it means to go through this journey. Thank you. Love you all!!

On my way!! Here we go! Thanks for the support!!????????

1pm tomorrow. Today I'm at work which is helping the time go faster. However, I just got done dealing with an angry parole agent in which I slammed the phone down,after he said bye. Happy day. Good luck to all of you!

@@sleevemylife Glad everything went well, the pain & nausea should pass quickly! Keep moving & get rest when you can.

@ Got you added to our October list of surgery's!

@@Tina1969 Welcome & I also added you to our list of surgery's

You will do great @@kvoneye ! I don't think taking the liquid (magnesium citrate) to clean your intestines earlier will hurt. As a matter of fact I took mine at noon and glad I didn't take it any later so I could get to bed without having to get up & go to the bathroom. You do need to be near a bathroom when you do! Drink lots of liquids when you do. My hospital suggested Propel zero or powerade zero the clear ones to get some electrolytes back into my system that the cleansing takes out while you are doing this.

Best of luck to you tomorrow, you will be fine! Sending you hugs!

@@thbrown223 Your experience sounds like mine. No sleep at hospital, came home extremely tired & full of gas! Everyday will get better & better! The hard part is trying to get down all that we have to! I walk every hour for 5-10 min. around my house for 12 hrs. This seems to help! Best of luck to you! & sip sip sip!!!

@@WillieBradley Wishing you the best of outcomes! You will do fine! I know it is scary having surgery, but my experience the worst part wasn't surgery but the gas afterwords, & being tired & now boredom from sip sip sip!! Sending you hugs! You got this!!!
