Hello! I'm 1 week post op and finally on full liquids! I was so excited about this until I ran out of ideas of what to have. Anyone have any tasty ideas? I have been on 3 weeks of clear liquids so full liquids is an exciting step for me! Thanks ahead of time!

I used an e-cig to quit after smoking for 15 years. I am proud to say I am smoke free - I had a couple puffs here and there before the surgery but can't even think of having one now. Try green smoke e cig they give you a full refund within 30 days if it doesn't work for you. my doc wouldn't do surgery unless I quit either. I am so glad I quit!

Gotta tell ya I wasn't expecting the severe pain I have endured the past few days. I just pray it was all worth it.

I use Viactive calcium chews with vitamin D. They are super yummy and like a little desert

Thank you Susan! I totally was ready I Have worked really hard on my liquid diet ( I ate a few saltines when I had nausea ) but other wise I was completely ready until right now! Ugh! But you are right Susan this is what I need to do for a happy healthy me. Thanks again! Guess I just needed a little reassurance!

Have surgery on Tuesday and while I am so excited - I am do scared! Anyone else feeling like this? Or felt like this? What did you do to get through? Thank you!!

I got really nauseated after my 9th full day of Liquids and had 4 saltine crackers and again on the tenth day. Will this affect anything or am I being paranoid?? My surgery is Tuesday sept 4th.

Thank you for the advice. I am down right starving lol! But today is day 5 and I am feeling much better now that I have only a week to go!

I am allowed to have 4 oz of cottage cheese per day, 1 string cheese and 8 oz of milk. I take all of my vitamins and then soups and sugar free carb free drinks. I also am allowed to have three protein shakes per day. But...still starving!

My surgery is on Sept 4th. VERY EXCITED but I am starving. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas about how to curb the appetite during these dreadful days? I am 3 days down 9 to go but I don't want to fail hoping for some great thought starters from all you successful sleevers out there!
