Hi I'm a 34 yr old mom of two young kids and my surgery is scheduled for August 2017! Im excited and super nervous at the same time. Just wanted to see if anyone else was getting surgery in August too?

Ive been on it since last Tuesday :/ so a full 2 weeks of nothing but liquids. I miss food but it gets slightly easier after the first couple of days. I am going in for preop test stuff in a couple hours

I am scheduled 8/29, on day 2 Pre-Op, using Pompeii Surgical in Mexico, Dr. Quiones. Super excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I just got back from seeing my doctor and he said I don't have to do a liquid diet ,just to try not to over eat before surgery on Monday but i could do it if wanted ,so I think I am going too do it . The date is Almost here ?

My surgery is on Monday the 21st. So ready to get it over with! On day 11 of liquid pre op diet. It stinks but isn't horrible. I lost 7 pounds in the first 2 days but haven't lost a ton since then and that is discouraging me a bit! I'm down a total of 9. Anyone else have this problem?

So here I am 2 days post op- my doctor had to repair a hiatal hernia and most of the soreness is at that site. I've been walking since I was brought up from recovery so most of the shoulder pain is gone. My main problem is gas - I'm sucking down gas x pills. No other real issues but I am struggling getting down the 34 oz minimum liquids my doctor said, because after every swallow is severe gas. Oh well tomorrow is another day.

I'm one day post op and had to try to get 48oz of liquid. I did fine as long as it water. I tried chicken broth and got so nauseous. Guess I'll try the clear protein drinks tomorrow. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Hi.im going with Dr.Q at Pompeii Surgical.Aug 28th is my date.im so ready anxious an nervous.

One thing that makes me worry is the fact that the patient information notebook they gave me is that there is no liquid diet and the only admonishment diet-wise pre-op is that (a) no eating or drinking anything after twelve midnight on the day of surgery, (b) you should quit caffeine because withdrawal is going to be a b***h in the hospital (got that down) and (c) you can't gain weight between the time you have your surgeon's consult and your pre-admit (or pre-op?) appointment.

Well my surgery went well, the recovery has been tough. Since I'm prob to nausea they have been giving me anti-nausea meds. Two bouts of vomiting which nothing came up. They considered keeping me one more night, but decided to let me go home. The gas pain was real but walking helped a great bit.

That's rough that you are recovering from both surgeries, but good you were able to get another issue fixed at the same time. After my second c-section I had HORRIBLE gas pain. The only thing that helped me at that time was walking, and knowing that it would eventually pass. Hang in there! This will all be a distant memory before you know it.

I'm two days post op. Have you tried gas x? A possible side effect of zofran is headache. I'm still nauseous and having a hard time drinking but sip, sip, sip. Hopefully we'll get there soon......

I'm in the waiting room at my pre-op appointment now. My date is August 31st and I am super excited!!! A little nervous though too.....just ready to move on with my new life!!!
