I haven't tried anything like subway.. I've tried chicken salad, sweet potatoes, hamburger mushed up, tuna salad, pretty much what was on the soft foods..I haven't rushed to eat anything heavy I just can't eat.

Well I'm 5 weeks out and have been cleared to eat anything really. My problem is when I try to eat anything other than a cracker with peanut butter, I just can't swallow it. I don't know if its all in my mind or what. I'm really worried because in a day I probably eat 6 crackers..anyone. Else having problems eating?

I was the same way with water. I think a lot of us couldn't tolerate water right after surgery. I was the complete opposite room temperature drinks felt better for me. I'm not sure why it's so hard to drink water, but I must say one day, about a week or a week and a half out, suddenly I could drink water perfectly fine, no matter what the temp was. I don't think ice cold water is bad for you. I drank my tea ice cold in the beginning.

Well my surgery was on oct 18, and my dr gave me a prescription for Prilosec and the are capsules, I take them just fine. He also said if I couldn't take the just open them up and sprinkle in some applesauce.

My surgery was 18th and although I feel pretty good, I can not drink the shakes either..I was really worried about not getting any protein in, but i was told just try and concentrate on not getting dehydrated. Yesterday something just changed and I was able to drink plain water, before i could not tolerate it maybe i will try a shake again tomorrow. And i am with you on the energy..it doesnt last very long.

Ok well my goal for today is to definitely try to get protein in...I havent been able to since i got out the hospital on Friday. I have been living off of watermelon. For some reason I cant bring myself to drink the shakes, which I was perfectly fine drinking before, Its like the thought of it makes me nauseaus. Well let the day begin

I keep having sharp pains and I dont know if its from hunger or gas?

Ok, I had my surgery on the 18th, did very well in the hospital, and i was discharged on the 19...I was feeling horrible that friday night and all day saturday. Today i am feeling alot better. Just like alot of other post i read I am not getting,no where near as much liquid as i should. I just try to sip when I can to stay hydrated. Anyways I am able to walk around really well just not able to drink alot. I am still being optomistic.

Hello, this is my first day preop diet...So far so good...Wish me luck...lol!!!!

Add me to the list too please...Oct 18.

Hello, my surgery date is Oct 18...and I really dont know how to feel...the closer it gets the more scared I am.

Im so happy you got your date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hooray

I am sorry to hear that. All I can say is when she told me she was submitting mine...she did. Maybe it takes a few days for your insurance company to have information on it.

Thanks and I am having surgery at St Marys.

I got approved today and my surgery date is October 8....Im excited and nervous!!!!!!!

I totally understand why you are feeling they are rude. I cant deal with one particular person in there. Thank heavens there was another person in the office I could have handle my paperwork. Im trying to keep in mind that he is a good surgeon. If it wasnt for that I would probably go somewhere else.

I am trying to get them to submit everything for approval..I have called and emailed the office since Friday to see if they received all my other paperwork from the other drs. but have not heard anything yet..I must admit its getting frustrating.

Hello everyone...I am trying to patiently wait on the office to submit everything for approval. My dr is Dr Bautista...I am just glad to find other sleevers in the Richmond area.

I hope everything goes well...Dr Bautista is my surgeon as well..I havent gotten my surgery date yet..I just completed all of my prequalifying factors and hopefully they will hurry and submit everything to my insurance for approval.
