Topic: RE: Leaving on a Jet Plane
Great job! I haven't done a pre-diet of liquids as my surgeon doesn't require it. I too am leaving the U.S. (Costa Rica, 10/31 surgery date). I am giving up coffee--I say that as I have one super big one as I write lol (baby steps towards getting off it!) Good luck with your surgery and let us know how it goes. I'll be curious about how things go with your being in a foreign country and after care. My doctor is going to require me to where anti-embolism stockings up to my thighs after surgery, so I don't think I"m going to get too much Costa Rican sun (I'm a bit confused about that as not many people here have mentioned that--I think it's b/c most of his patients fly back to the U.S. shortly after surgery. GOOD LUCK!!
Topic: Surgery is finished!
I got through surgery yesterday and I'm doing really well.
Disclaimer: This my 3rd surgery and I have a very high tolerance for pain.
I went in yesterday morning and everything went well. I came out of surgery extremely nauesious (sp?) but they gave my every possible thing and I never vomitted. I'm getting in all the fluids they want me to take.
I had one 30 bout of gas, but nothing after that - lots of burping.So far, this surgery is far easier than my gall bladder surgery, almost the same as my hysterectomy. I've been walking like crazy and before surgery I thought for sure I wouldn't want to walk. I was wrong. It feels really good to walk around.
I get to go on full liquids today and I'm gonna have a Beneprotein shake.
I've already taken 2 pills (very small) and it went very well.
Honestly, I don't feel a difference yet. But, I'm definitely not eating much and haven't felt any hunger at all..
I know things are different at home than at the hospital, but so far so good.
Thsnks for the prayers and well wishes.

Topic: Leaving on a Jet Plane
I am flying to San Diego tomorrow morning and spending the day there, then the following day I am going to Tijuana to get sleeved. I am so excited I just cant wait to start my new adventure. I have done really well with my liquid diet, I started about 2 weeks before I had to and slowly started getting used to the idea of an all liquid diet I am so glad I did it it seemed to go pretty smoothly. I had a slight headache from no sugar and caffeine but nothing I couldn't handle. :) so here is to the next few days in the Mexican Sun.

Hi Grits!! Glad you joined our group! As I said on your other post, I am also getting sleeved on 10/24. Yay us!!
Hang in there on the liquid diet, it will all be over soon. I have been on 3 shakes a day and 1 sensible meal for a week and I have lost 15lbs!!
