Hello everyone!

Hope you are all travelling well on this crazy/amazing journey.

My surgery date is coming up fast, next week 16 September. Feeling a little lonely going through this process - I have my family/friends support but would be great to have conversations/support from people in simillar situations.

I'm on my 3rd week of my 4 week pre-op diet. I'm down 4kg but seem to have plateaued a bit in the last couple days.

Anyhoo, staying optimistic as this going to change my life for the better!

Is anyone else getting sleeved this month?

Thank you NK and Ebony. I'm all prepped in the admissions room but got a few people ahead of me first. Feeling strangely calm though. I appreciate the messages. Chat to you on the flip side

Best of luck for tomorrow! Hope all goes well for you

It is great that your op is early in the morning!

My admission was at 2 pm, and I didn't get operated on till 7 pm.

At least the pre-med drugs I was given, put me to sleep, so the wait didn't seem that long .....

All the best!

Cheers @Krakow57. I've gotten all the nerves out. I'm off to have floatation tank session today as a little relaxing treat before the big day. ????

Well its day four post op. I got discharged yesterday and now I'm back home. I must say....Day two was a whole lot of nausea and vomiting....could barely keep anything down, not through lack of trying....yesterday I vomited once and that was late at night. Managed to keep down a bit of fluids but probably need to up my intake a bit. See how today pans out nausea and pain wise. 5kg down so I'm pretty stoked about that as well....the little bit of pain I am going through now will be worth the extra time I get spend with my family. ????????

Were you given any Zofran wafers for nausea?

Hope it gets better for you, otherwise call your surgeon.

Be careful re dehydration. I ended up getting Hydralyte (electrolyte fluid) for any emergencies, as I got badly dehydrated on day 10 or 12. It was a nasty experience. It felt like I was going into shock! Hydralyte fixed it in 15 minutes.

Good luck with your recovery!

Glad to hear you're home, NK. Every day at home gets better. I feel so much better, not sore and I even went to the shops today! I was pooped after but was good to get out. I'm still struggling to get enough fluids in but trying hard. We're both on the right side of it all now
