Topic: RE: Liquid Diet Day 5
Christy,
watch the sugarless gum side effect of Sorbitol is diarreah.
I too am going to bed earlier but when i get a craving to eat i am brushing my teeth more Im up to about 6 times a day now . I also make sure i am eating what I can eat around others who ar eating the usual crap we used to. I know its hard but facing it now will be easier than after surgery. Just some ideas that seems to be working for me.

Topic: Liquid Diet Day 5
Just wondering how everyone else is doing with their liquid diets. Today is day 5 for me and I am not feeling so great. I'm nauseated and tired, and have a horrible taste in my mouth. My breath is really bad - I have to constantly chew gum to cover it up. On the up side I've lost 7.6# already and I'm going to bed earlier because I get too hungry when I stay up late! How's everyone else doing?

I am too. My Pre-op is aet for April 1st. It was April 8th but they moved it up. I'm going to see Monday if we can move it down to April 15th instead, if not then I guess Wednesday I will be getting "prepped" Mine ios set for 12:30pm though, so I can sleep in a little bit. :D
I don't know about yours but I have paperwork that says what is in volved with the pre-op testing:
So that is all I know about what will be happening to me during pre-op. Good luck and I HTH'd some.
I don't know about yours but I have paperwork that says what is in volved with the pre-op testing:
Your testing will involve an interview with a nurse clinician, blood tests, an EKG, a chest x-ray and pulmonry function (breathing) test. If any of these have been completed in the last 6 months, please bring a copy of them with you on the day of your appointment. In addition, you will meet with Dr. M, the medical director of the program. Bring all medications you are currently taking with you in the original bottles to your appointment. Include any over the ounter medications as well.
Lab tests will be drawn; therefore, a light meal can be eaten no later than 2 hours prior to your appointment. Menu suggestions for a light meal are included. Due to length of your appointment (4-5 hours), you may want to bring a snack or lunch with you to eat after your blood it drawn. Due to limited space in the pre-admission testing area, anyone accompanying you may be asked to wait in another area.
So that is all I know about what will be happening to me during pre-op. Good luck and I HTH'd some.

Topic: RE: I have a quick question
Hi there. My RNY is on 4/7/09. But I had a hysterectomy a few years ago, and my hubs had his RNY 2 years ago, so here's what I would recommend:
Don't take any pretty new nighties and fancy robes. If there's any blood or goo, you'll want it to be on their stuff.
Don't bother with make-up or jewelry. You won't feel like either.
Do wear a comfortable outfit to the hospital that you'll want to wear home.
Do take lip balm, hospitals are so dry.
Do bring your own slippers so you can walk the halls.
Lastly, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo if they let you shower.
Good luck!!

What are you taking to the hospital? I'm very curious. I'll be there for two days, I have a tendency to over pack.(lol) for anything and everything.
