How much water are have you gotten in today and are you on a clear liquid or full liquid diet. I am on a liquid diet and I have drank 24 ounces, some jello and a popsicle today so far. Still cramping though and was nauseated about an hour ago.

So how much should I be drinking at one time? When I drink or suck jello, I get very bad cramps. I just got out of the hospital yesterday and it was worst in the hospital. The cramping is lower abdomen not upper, it only happens when I take in something by mouth. Any suggestions anyone?

I got the patch behind my ear and they are alternating phnergan and zofran, it is not helping at all.

Hi everyone, surgery went well but I have sick since coming to my room yesterday at 1030am. Vomiting everything I put in my mouth, not keeping anything down. Very nauseated. Only walked twice yesterday to sick. Got to stay another night for iv fluids and iv pain meds. Had to go to specials for a Picc line after being stuck 15 times for Iv and labs. Hoping everyone else is doing well.

Thanks so much, I love pinterest!

That is Awesome, way to go to the Hubbies that have stepped up and stepped in! I have been talking to mines about all that I am going to need him to do including painting toes, lol. I love him so much, we have been together for 26 years and married for 23 years.

I just went through a simular situation. I was approved for the bypass but that was never discussed in any of my appointments. I was at the mercy of the insurance company and orginally they told me than can take up to 30 days to change the code to a sleeve. I was devasted! Everything worked out, this all happened last week and surgery was already set for the 16th so I know how you feel when you almost got your hand around something that you really want and then it's snatched away from you. Hang in there, you will get your sleeve!

I purchased the unjury chicken because of recommendations from everyone, I haven't tried it yet because of what Pre-op loser619 stated above, I will not be adding anything else new until I know that I am alright after surgery. and I DO NOT like the isopure at all!

I actually got a coupon form my NUT and you get 3 free to try. http://www.chikenutrition.com/

Has anyone tried the CHIKE shakes? They are very good. they come in chocolate, vanille, orange, I think, and also banana. I had the banana and it was delish!

Hi will be sleeved in 3 days also. I started my pre op diet on July 1st. I only have to drink 4 shakes a day and then my water and clear liquids like broth, jello, and popsicles. So far I have done good except when I got bad news on Tuesday, I back on track now and the weight is still coming off. We will be packing before we no it! Good luck to everyone! Hsve a wonderful weekend.

I have been a nurse for 18 years. 6 years LPN and 12 years RN in the last 6 years in the ER. Tried managment for a year but Hated! So back to the Er I go! Getting my sleeve on JULY 16th! WHOOT WHOOT! "SHOUTS OUT TO ALL THE NURSES IT'S TIME TO TAKE CARE OF US! AMEN!"

I'll be your buddy, I live in Tennessee.

Thanks Cystal so much for your advise, I called the insurance office this morning, finally got a chance to talk to a supervisor and she helped, so shouts out to Monica at BCBS!!!!!! I am back on the schedule for 7/16!!!!!

I'm in Chattanooga, Tn!

My doctors office called and informed me that my insurance orginally ok'd the gastric bypass. The resubmitted me for the sleeve last week and as of today the insurance has no answer, they told the nurse that they have 30 days to reply. This is bad because I wont be able to get off work if they change it from the 16th of this month! I so pissed! Been on liquid diet for 10 days!

Thanks for the tip, I did not know that I could have a chili, I love chili.

I'm right there with you but I love to cookand I have been on pinterest looking at recipes and I also purchased the magazine, Clean Cooking!

Not as nervous as I thought as I thought I would be, you?

Mine is the 16th at 8am, had pre testing too. How are you doing on your pre open diet.

I've told less than 10 people, and 2 of those people were judgmental and rude 2 others were strangers that I say out shopping and come to find out they both had had WLS. I joined this site for support because I was not getting it from my family and friends. Anyway, I know that the time will come for questions and when they do, I will make up my mind then what I am going to say. For now I am on a weight lost journey and "I'm doing it my way!" lol

That is my favorite soup and I cn make it from scratch thanks to Pinterest. One of the Soups that I plan on making,blending up into a thin broth, may or my not strain it but pureed is on my mind right now and OMG my mouth is watering. lol

Thanks for the tip! I've come to far to turn back now!

I started on July 1st, I have until July 16th. Your right behind me, good luck.
