Lol I know right!! I started my pre op diet last week. They had me started because they were confident I was going to get approved even though I was all stressed!!

...have 2 binders made up organized into tabs and stages, and have kept up to date with many forums.

I had to laugh, I have a binder with tabs to organize all of my bariatric stuff!

Zoftig Girl I'm sitting here, I do exactly the same thing! I have a section for things I learned, one for good advice I've heard on here, another for things I've realized and want to remember, another for some of my postings I thought very good, another for postings I've gotten good feedback on, and several others maybe miscellaneous? I've been in Bariatric Pal a little less than 6 months but it's getting rather fat.Either I j

like making lists or everything has to be in its own little container.😖

I got my lapband to sleeve conversion done on May 1st. Here’s some things I think should be noted for those of you getting surgery soon. The air pockets brought tears to my eyes. I had one in my shoulder that made me not able to take a deep breath until my drain was taken out the next day. I honestly have never felt a more severe pain than that. Getting up and walking honestly wasn’t a problem I knew walking would move the gas so I wanted to get up as soon as I could. I went home the same day (Tuesday) and basically slept /was in a pain med coma until Thursday morning. I got up every two hours the first night and just walked through my house just because I was awake and I think it really helped in the long run. I’m on a clear liquid diet til Tuesday and it’s not bad at all just remember to constantly sip. I was out today and didn’t drink a lot and by the time I got home I felt a little dehydrated. Another thing is take your nausea medicine before pain medicine it was causing me to throw up and dry heaving isn’t a good feeling after stomach surgery. I also got stool softeners that I didn’t think I needed, but probably yesterday and today I got a really bad lower back pain from Constipation. Like worse than the surgery pain. I kept doing cold and hot compress and finally the pain went away and moved some gas. Take the stool softeners! If you’re really constipated and in pain today I bought prunes, pineapple juice, and v8 green juice. Mix them in a blender with some ice and it will get you moving real quick! I wasn’t really “clear” for my Clear Liquids but I just took cautious sips and I was fine. Now my only pain is just some bruising on my belly where the incisions were and I’m going back to work tomorrow. You can all do it I promise! I’m down 25 pounds already since the 2 week preop diet and I’m so excited to continue my journey! Please message me if you have any questions or concerns about your surgery.
