Help! Date moved up to Tuesday!!!



Recommended Posts

My surgery date was for June 30th and now it has been moved up to the 16th. I am totally unprepared and have just started my liquid diet. ARGH!!! I literally have the weekend to get it all together and I haven't a clue of where to start so I'll be ready to go by Tuesday morning. I would love any suggestions or thoughts!:confused:

Dont panic, the main thing is to make sure you have enough on hand to be comfortable after surgery. For me that was protien Water, chicken and beef broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, gas x strips. I was able to go to the store and all that by day 3 so it is just the first few days you need to worry about especially if you have help at home.

Don't sweat it! I was banded yesterday, I went shopping the day before for juice, Jello, popsycles, and pudding, I already had on hand the Soup and broth (which I don't like so I use the broth out of Soups and make my daughter eat the solid parts.

I wore my pjs (sweats and a big shirt I use for pjs) to the hospital. I figure why bring extra clothes if it was day surgery and even if I had to spend the night who cares what you're wearing. I brought my pillows and cpap machine, and some books and crossword puzzles, all of which I didn't need but the pillow for the ride home.

Travel light was the key to me. Don't panick. It's awesome they moved it up!!

Congrats on getting a date! The most important thing to do is Relax. Get your things in order, one quick trip to the grocery store will help that. Only bring the essentials, make sure you have a pillow to have for he car ride home. Also make sure your dress comfy , you wont want anything to bother your incisions! Good luck to you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
