Is anyone else having surgery in July?

I’m having surgery in one day! I report at 5:30 am on Wednesday! Oh I hope I have the easier version of all of the July buddies in this group! If you’re religious pray for me on Wednesday!

Did anyone else feel really sick on the pre-op diet? Mine is 5 shakes up to 2 cups non starchy veggies, no added fat.... there have been a couple of days I’ve felt OK— but most of the time I’ve felt lethargic and at times light headed and aches. I keep fantasizing about food and it’s freaking me out— also that if I can’t handle this how am I going to handle the next 3 months?!! I know there’s things to work through and I’m committed to working through my food issues but UGHH!

Good luck @Laura7 !

@ mercmerc And @ Nnoi I am moving my base of operations to a new forum. No days open on this month, so scheduled September 5 ,2018 at 7 AM. Waving bye bye, Blowing kisses.
I will still be watching both of your stories unfold.Be Happy For Me![emoji13][emoji256][emoji13]

I was just getting back on specifically looking for your date!! I am so happy for you, but I hate it's so far off hang in there, I keep hearing it's worth it lol I am currently firmly in the. "what have I done to myself". "was this a mistake" phase but also weight less then I have in over 10 years soooo. We both just need to hang in there friend

I’m in pre op ready to go into surgery right now, 10am.

Best of luck Bee Cat, wishing you a speedy recovery

I am sending good wishes and healing thoughts your way. Everything will be just fine, all I ask BeeCat. is that you return these thoughts to me when I undergo mine September 5th. Together we will change our lives for the better!!!???

I just had my surgery July 23rd. I was very nauseous a few hours after surgery. But, so far today, I've experienced little nausea. I was able to swallow pills and, knock on wood, I didn't experience any reactions to foods (smell,taste).

Congratulations and Best Wishes to you Jandrem78 and all the other July 23rd people. Now starts your road to a new and better lufe!

Best of luck to you and you’re going to do great!

Finally got my insurance approval just 16 hours before my surgery time! To my 7/25/2018 gastric bypass buddies @mercmerc and @Laura7, I pray for a complication-free surgery and recovery for you!

I've got my hospital bag packed with 2 changes of clothing, phone charger, cholesterol meds, toiletries, lip balm, dry mouth spray, tummy pillow, and earphones. CPAP goes in the bag in the morning, then it's off to Reston Hospital Center at 6:00 a.m. for a 8:45 surgery!
