April surgery date



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I’m on day 4 of the pre-op diet. Surgery date is April 2.

Anyone else with an April date?

Any advice from others already gone through the surgery?

I have to travel next week, due to work. Any advice on how to manage the diet?

My date is April 16....congrats! I also will be traveling from where my surgery is to home and then for a family vacation. I know we should be mindful to keep walking as much as we can, stand, etc. I’m planning on making and packing ice cube trays of Soups and what not to freeze and take for my trip and of course Protein Drinks.

April 4! Less than 2 weeks. Got my preop clearance today and she has no reasons to suspect I won’t be cleared. My pregnancy test is always positive but I have phantom hcg in my blood 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi I am
April 1 I am also doing my pre-op diet. I had a rough start, I cheated badly :( Doing well though for the last few days. I was still on my Last Meal syndrome. Hope you are doing well

Everybody usually is. You're excited to the point you can hardly speak but deep inside there is a small grain of" What am I doing to myself?" And when your surgery is over that may be the first thought you have when you wake up. But day by day it does get better and you will be back to the point where you're giving yourself a High Five for having made this choice. It does change things for the better!

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
