@@dpressleymsn You can do it. You can take liquid Tylenol to help with the headaches.

Sleepless in Katy. Seems I've conquered hanger on day 8 of the preop diet. 5 more days to surgery on the 3rd. Historically, I'd carb up. Fill my belly and go to bed in anticipation of the sugar coma. Life is less simple now. Any ideas on getting sleep when exercise doesn't help and food is purposefully limited?

I found out yesterday that insurance approved me. The dr said my surgery will be sometime in Aug. Looking forward to having some friends who are going thru same thing as I am.

@@Shrinkinqtpi I've been using OTC sleep aids. NyQuil ZZZZ helps me. I suffer from allergies as well so I take Benadryl when I need to. I've heard lavender essential oils are supposed to help as well.

@@WW0747 Thank you for the idea about NyQuill. I am a self-proclaimed queen of essential oils and have used lavender, vetiver, and frankincense in various combinations to no avail. It works on my husband! I have a CPAP and am happy with it. Allergies are a problem for me too so Benadryl is a real option. Thank you for the ideas.

I made it. Surgery went well. A little sore but otherwise feeling ok. Feels like I've done 1000 sit-ups. I didn't sleep well last night but hopefully I'll make up for it tonight.

Thank you. I appreciate it. I've been trying to consume a 10 calorie pack of Jello for two days. I think today I will be finished with it. Just an example of what it is like on day 2 post op. Water is going well. I think I will get in at least 60 oz. today. Meds are done for the day except another dose of Omeprazole. I also need to go by my local pharmacy so I can get help with the Lovenox shots. I bent the needle yesterday before use. FYI...don't take an Oxy and try to watch a video. Epic fail for me.

My surgeon did not require a liquid diet before the surgery. LOVE my surgeon. He made me so comfortable like I knew him for a long time. Very personable. His whole staff was the greatest. Even the staff at the hospital was great. I very thankful the insurance company made me change clinics.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
