Just keep all reasons you started this journey in the front of your mind and keep reminding yourself you are worth it and deserve a new life without the barriers that morbid obesity put in front of you.

Thank you so much i really appreciate your gesture of encouragement.I have the bypass scheduled just trying to find out things i should know before hand.

I am scheduled June 4th Debbie I went thru all the tests and now I feel over whelmed and skerd. I hope I make it thru the pre op liquid diet. My diet is liquids only high protein shakes.

Don’t forget to pick up your post op medications, your waters and shakes.
My son prepared my gel with my protein water and that helps.
One super important thing “walk” and breath as your doctor and/or nurse suggested. Tomorrow I will have a week anniversary of surgery I did not suffer gas problems nor nausea and already without pain medication.

I have lost 6pounds, i am being weak but being moving and taking little rest time or naps

Thank you all so much i really appreciate each and every single you. we are truly a family here.

pat pac could you pls elaborate more on the liquid diet menu nd how you organised it through out the day... also what meds just incase i have to ask my doctor because they havent old me about meds yet...Thanks a lot

Hi

i prepare mini ice cubs of Isopure zero carb water, I also use Isopure cold water preparing my jello. Before surgery I taste each flavor in order to know the smell and taste I liked it.

And prepared my room with some liquids at night stand.

my doctor gave medication for after surgery and I picket it up from pharmacy before my surgery and made a list with instructions, I put numbers in my list related with numbers I put at each medical bottle.

you are amazing thank you so much

I am right there with you on June 4th.

I have heard from several people that gas-x strips are good for post op. I still need to clear with my doctor.

Yeah but good luck finding 39th r m in big box stores. Many people said they had to order off of Amazon. The do have GasX pills at Wal-Mart.

Make sure you have your liquids for pre and post op... don't forget the sugar free popsicles! A friend have me a bottle of Biotene and I was so happy she did. After surgery you tend to have dry mouth and lips so pack some ChapStick! Breathe and relax. Before you know it, its over. Afterwards, walk, walk and walk even if you don't feel like it. You can thank me later! [emoji6][emoji23][emoji4]
