Hey guys surgery is 5 days away I’ve got today plus Friday and Saturday on solid food then all Clear Liquids for two days. I’m dreading it like I’m in a funk as of late but I’ll be ok how are y’all doin

That’s going to be me too. And I’m working Sunday and Monday this shall be interesting lol ??‍♀️i have to be at the hospital at 830 on Tuesday

Hi had bypass 8/9. Hope you are doing well. I’m new here so I don’t know how this works

Mine is Monday 8/27, have to say I am nervous, I keep thinking something is going to go wrong and that it’s just not in the cards for me. This preop diet is killing me but I have lost 14 lbs in 11 days.

I feel exactly the same way. I am having surgery the day after you and I keep saying that im probably going to get hit by a bus or something before then. I have the worse luck ever!

I was the same way. Had my surgery yesterday & did well.

My husband had to go to the ER while I was in surgery for severe abdominal pain. Right now he's waiting to have a CT to see if it is appendicitis. UGH! He's so worried that he won't be able to take care of me if he does.

@ChellNC Glad to hear your doing well, but sorry to hear about the hubby. Hopefully it is something simple and he doesn't have to have surgery.

Thanks @Chrisb428

He has appendicitis and is being admitted.

That sucks for both of you!

Had my sleeve done yesterday. Pain has been really tough and I can’t keep anything but water down right now. Jello, tea make me feel nauseous

Be patient. Don't weigh every day if its going to bother you. PIck one day a week and let that be weigh in day. If you still need to step on it every day, don't worry about the weight until weigh in day. You'll do fine.

Oh no! Im so sorry!

I also was 8/10 and down 14 lbs. My doc said the weight will come off in chunks. He said the scale may not move for a week, and then next time u look you’ll be down 10-15. It’ll happen

And doggone you guys always lose faster then us chicks? But I'll forgive you because you're fighting the weight war also. And any man who,puts his kids in his pen name is okay by me!???
