My surgery is on Monday (12/11) and I am getting anxious. Feel better already. I have lost 19 so far in the pre-op restricted diet stage and 52 lost from my heaviest weight. Can’t wait to see how much better I feel as the pounds continue to drop. Good luck everyone else going through this process!!!

Good luck, a little bit of advice get up and walk as soon as you can get that gas moving. It sure makes you feel better

I'm right there with you. I'm at noon on Monday. I'm officially in the nervous mode as opposed to excited. I can't belive how fast this 6 month pre op process has gone!

Good luck to you!

You will do great.
My advice:
Expect pain...take your pain meds. They are your friend. It will pass.
Walk for the gas pain...nothing else helped me but pacing the floor in the hospital and at home.
Don’t try to eat foods before you are allowed. It will hurt. Just be patient. Even 4 months out...liquids are more my friend than solids and I’m ok with that because I feel good.

I just had my GS on 11/29. The advice above is good.

Keep your pain under control. I had a pain pump and it was a Godsend.
Pills are hard going down at first but it gets better
Walk walk and walk some more. I walked at every change of the nurse. It was like a drinking game. New nurse another walk.
The first shower you take will be the best shower ever. So bring yourself some nice soaps and Shampoo. The hospital stuff is crap.
When you get nauseous, gets meds for that. Reglan or Zofran are awesome. Go home with some. I find 1 week out I still get nauseous at times.

You’ve got this.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
