After the first week, I also had the same worries. You'll definitely feel it, if you've pushed your sleeve too far. It's great that you can get your fluids in! Good luck!

I'm 3 weeks out and everything has been going great, until tonight. All of a sudden I got a terrible headache and I feel like I might throw up. I take protonics for acid control, but it's not anything new. The nausea is unbearable, help! What's going on?

Maybe going to the Dr. wouldn't hurt. Eventhough you weren't lifting anything, it's possible to have popped a staple from stretching, maybe reaching for something in the closet. Hope everything goes well and feel better soon!

I'm 3 weeks out and I have to crush my meds too. I take Lithium for depression and it's disgusting. This is what I do: i crush it and dissolve it in a little bit of Water. I hold my nose and swallow it Still holding my nose, I start chewing my Calcium supplement, then I can unplug my nose and it doesn't taste too horrible. My daughter thinks I'm hilarious and loves to watch the routine LOL Good luck!

I was also told that alcohol will have a total different effect on you after your surgery as well. It absorbs much quicker and you'll be drunk very quickly. Be safe! I'm only 6 days post surgery and on liquids for two weeks. Good luck with everything!!

Thank you everyone for the advice. Please keep in touch.... Here I go!

Thanks a bunch!

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm feeling really anxious and nervous. Does anyone have any last minute advice for me?

Hi there! I'm on the Optifast liquid diet for 2 weeks. This is my 8th day and the hunger feeling has subsided significantly. I did great my first day, but the second and third were the WORST! I feel for you, but hang in there, it gets better. Good luck Michelle
