Hello all! Well..just got my surgery date...August 4th...and needless to say I am actually nervous. This will be a band to bypass revision, and it seems no matter how much research I have done, I find myself very much scared and nervous... it'd be nice to find some that are going through the same journey!!

I'm doubting if I can do this. My head hurts so bad from the lack of caffeine. I'm just having a pity party today. Thank you

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

You can do it! It's okay to do 1/2 decaf 1/2 caffeine the first day or so. Stay strong!

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.

Hi everyone! I just had my surgery Aug 15. So far it's going good. My only problems is getting Water in. Either I can get water or I can get Protein in but getting them both in make me vomit in my mouth for an hour. My other issue is I haven't went poopy for almost ten days. Any advice would be great!

Also what does some of the numbers stand for like 377/233/67.

Thanks Teena
