I am scheduled for May the 3rd!

With the current lockdown in TO, not sure if Surgery will be postponed or stay put!

Hope all goes well. Kinda excited for the new journey and kinda nervous too!

Anyone else ON for May?

17th May here!

First 4 days without caffeine were TRASH. constant headache. Since then, I've felt great! Full of energy. I've been doing 3 shakes a day, 1 big broth and a bunch of water/flavored drinks. I was worried it was going to be hell the whole time.

How's yours going and how are you feeling?

For the most part pretty good, I have been craving popcorn. The hardest part for me is just late nights when I usually eat are cut off. I’m not hungry during the day at all. My first few days were okay it didn’t seem hard to transition. I had pizza for the last meal

Ughhh I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet (4 shakes, 4 one cup servings of certain veggies a day) and the headaches are unreal!!! But of course the lack of caffeine, food and an upcoming visit from TOM will do that. LOL

OMG Popcorn ? My 3 year old wants it every other day... So the house smells like it. Never fails.

I'm literally sitting in the car with my fussy toddler while my husband and brother in law order bacon cheeseburgers with fries. This is going to go ahead and be the hardest I've hit so far. I should've brought a shake with me! Other than that, all good.

So true! Nervous about my TOM starting on surgery day. I'm normally like clockwork, so... Yikes.

Mine is already late. Figures. Probably my nerves holding it back. It's happened before to me.

If I find myself going through something stressful I swear it come late. It's almost as if once I relax it's like, ok, here I am. LOL

Well, this is definitely stressful!

I had my surgery on May 4. After 4 days the nausea subsided make sure you take the zofran and if the offer additional nausea meds while your stay in the hospital get them. They also gave a a patch that goes behind your ear that is good for 3 days for nausea.As for pain they did give me norcos but I don't like taking them. Fyi they do contribute to nausea so i just took extra strength tylenol for about 3 days after surgery. I do on occasion have incision pain but an ice pack works fine. As for preop diet they didn't put me on a full liquid diet. It was more of a high protein low carb diet and it worked I did lose 10lbs in 1 week. If i can ill post diet as attachment. Well good luck to everyone and hope all have a speedy recovery.
