  1. Thanks everyone. After re reading my multiple pages of instructions I can have as tolerable
  2. Thanks Andi. What type of shake did you use? I just tried an Atkins ( which I love ). And it is not sitting well at all. The only thing I have had for 3 days is water
  3. How soon after surgery have u been able to start on a protein shake? On 3 days post op and have only drank water. I tried an Atkins shake a bit ago and am worried this is not ok.
  4. I'm supposed to have 64oz. What are the repercussions of less than 64? Very nervous
  5. How are u doing? Hope surgery went well. I'm home and doing good
  6. The same. Very hard time trying to get the fluids down. My stomach sounds like its playing a symphony.
  7. First day post op and epic failure on water intake. Only got down 3 16.9oz. Bottles of water. Is this a huge issue?
  8. I was sleeved on the 23rd as well. Only spent one night in the hospital. Was supposed to be 2 but it was my birthday and my doctor took pity on me lol. I was doing really good so he released me at 5pm last night. I'm having a lot of trouble getting the required liquid down. Also. I'm on clear liquids. What about protein????? Nervous I'm not doing this right. I sip all the time and only on my 3rd water bottle :-(. Any suggestions?
  9. I hear ya. Only on my second bottle if water and supposed to drink 5. How are u doing? Are u on full liquids for 2 weeks?
  10. Lol. U go girl. I just have pressure and rumblings. Wonder if that's the gas and I should get strips
  11. Do u have a lot of pressure. Reflux type?
  12. Se here. Remembering to drink slow is the hardest part. I have a tablespoon for the meds a drink very slow. The gas pains are kicking in today. They really feel like hunger pains but I'm not hungry.
  13. Hi guys. Surgery went great. Was supposed to b in the hospital 2 nights but was doing great so the let me come home last night. I have to stay on a liquid diet for 2 more weeks. Not a problem as I'm so thirsty. The told me the biggest challenge will b getting enough fluids so that's what I'm concentrating on. Stomach is making nasty noises. Probably from gas and bad heartburn. All in all I'm doing good but worried about getting enough fluids. Ill keep checking in to let u know of my progress.
  14. Me too. All checked in. Waiting to go to the or. Good luck to you
  15. Just tell them there r other medical factors involved. They'll shut up.......it's called hippa. Good luck to u and keep your chin up high
  16. Omg. I am so hungry I can't stand it. Even googled how long food stays in your body to see if I could cheat. I know I can't.. And I won't but morning can't come soon enough. Hospital at 7. Surgery at 9. Surviving this damn liquid diet? Priceless
  17. Just need to get through today's full liquid diet and I'm good to go. Not nervous at all about the operation. Just afterwards. Thank you all for the support this past month. Xoxo
  18. Why are there so many diff types. My girlfriends was 10 day..I'm 5 days. But I'm reading on these forums. Some people don't have to any. One girl wrote she was eating lobster the day before. So who's right?
  19. ThAnk u for the support. I feel so guilty but am starving. I just had an Adkins shake and some chicken broth and it really didn't do much. Sooo at noon time...on a Sunday I just took an ambien and will sleep the day away so I don't cheat. This is b far the worst diet I've ever done. Tomorrow is strict liquids. No yogurt or veggies. ....one last thing. Those 3 pcs of pizza rocked. Lol. Sorry
  20. I get sleeved on Tuesday. Last night I lost my mind and had 3 pcs of pizza. Will this effect my surgery?
