I had surgery on Wednesday 10/23, have been doing good so far. Today was the worst and it wasn’t that bad. Took one pain pill today. I stayed one night in the hospital and have been doing good sipping liquids. Sometimes, especially at first swallowing hurt in my stomach, not my throat. Now it only slightly hurts if I sip too much too often. I have not been hungry at all. I know that might change when the swelling goes down, but I like not being hungry. So far so good! Also, probably TMI but I wish I would’ve waited on the stool softener. They offered me two in the hospital and I took them. Went a lot yesterday and being a big girl it was harder to get clean and very uncomfortable. Lol I obviously got clean but it wasn’t pleasant. Wish I would have waited a few days.

Today is my surgery too! Except mine isn’t until 12 hours from now. Blah. Feeling he same emotions too. Just scared. We can do this though. We have to. Lol

Waxing. A lot of men do it

Pickle juice! Pickle juice! Pickle juice! Thank you Chubrub! It worked

Thanks everyone! I’ve tried broth and thinning the shakes, but I haven’t tried pickle juice. Fingers crossed it works. Either way, will power through this.

Hi all! I’m on day 6 of 14 full liquid diet pre op for sleeve surgery on October 23rd. About day 3 I started to get really nauseous, continuing until today where I was wretching. Good thing is I’m not hungry, but the bad part is I can barely finish one protein drink a day and just water otherwise. I hope this goes away but I’ll just white knuckle it. Anyone else experience this? Tips? I’ve tried broth, different shakes, sugar free jello, Powerade zero. Thanks!

How are you doing

I’m October 23 for the sleeve!

Yay!

I'm a nurse in the NICU. My babies may not weigh a pound but their transporters and beds weigh a ton. Anyway, take as much time off as you can. I did to much to soon and ended up having a couple if claws that attach my port to my muscle come off and start shredding the muscle. Not pleasant. At. All. Nurses are the worst patients. Let your body heal. Enjoy yourself, learn to live with the band

Is no one there with you? My surgery day was terrifying to me, I almost bolted. I just kept on telling myself one step at a time. Plus I asked for an anti-anxiety med ASAP. I highly recommend it. The first day was tough, but four months out and it's already one of the best decisions I have made.

Good luck!

Good luck! Breathe

Great job!!!!!

I totally hear you. Before I had good restriction I started into old habits. Thanks goodness I got a fill soon after. I can't help with the journaling only to suggest that maybe you don't eat it UNTIL you journal it. That helped me. Having good restriction makes living the band lifestyle easier. It just does. Can you scoot up your appointment? Good luck and hang in there!
