sip sip sip eat Jello and sugarfree popsicles. It want last forever I had 2 weeks liquid pre-op and am on day 9 of 14 post op i can't wait to monday night for supper i get pureed food.< /p>

you should definetly call your doc and let them know dosent seem normal.

I thought I was ready at 7 days out but now i have some new pain, so be careful.

Are you getting in your required, Protein and fluids? Thats where your strength and energy come from.

Doing great just a little sore, With all the test etc it took about 6 months actually insurance approval was only about 2 weeks.

Im in Cleveland county sleeved 11/26/12. Dr V. at Southeast Bariatrics.

On my 7th day post-op I venture out to take my handicap son for a drs appt, I was feeling great almost no soreness left. When we started home though I started feeling a tenderness and pulling on the left side of my stomach. We do have a handicap full size van that I had to step up into and i did push my sons wheelchair but didnt feel anything while doing so. the pain was better this morning atfer resting all night, almost no pain this mornin but now this afternoon its back. Is this normal ? Did I prehaps pull something? Its okay except when i move a certain way or bend. Any feedback appreciated.

There is also a low-carb tortilla that only has like 5g of carbs you can also fry it in just a little olive oil before making the pizza for a crispier crust. i have also used alfredo sauce instead of marinara either way its delicious.

Are the bars well tolerated after being sleeved I like the premiere shakes haven't tried the bars.

I drink more without pain or discomfort but I,m only7 days out. I think when we start eating solids it may change.

I have too Crush mine too and i hate it Terrible after taste.

Using a straw get more air in your tummmy therefore more gas. I have triede Muscle milk light pre-op its okay but not my favorite. I drink Premiere Protein Shakes from Sams Club Or costco 30g Protein each taste is good.

I didnt have one but if you do they put it in while your under and its not so bad coming out.

I was also sleeved the 26th and i'm doing fine getting in liquids, my family kinda avoids the subject as well, I think its just because they don't really know what to say and are just waiting to see what happens next. I believe as we start looking better and moving around doing more they will find their voice.

Hang in there it'll workout.

Ask your pcp to refer you. If not search the web fo a seminar.

if you are mixing the powder with skim milk you could try just using Water.< /span>

I also wonder what "rough" means to some i was sleeved monday and i was sore when I woke up and had some pain but it was bearable, I took very little pain meds. I'm doing fine getting my fluids and Proteins in just have to sip sip all day. The crushed meds are nasty, some even mixed with applesauce are just so bitter. I'm less sore everyday. I'm bored with the liquid diet but only have one more week till pureed. I haven't had any complications (Thank You Lord) so I can't really say any of my expierience thus far has been rough by my definition of the word. I guess I would say a little uncomfortable at times but thats about it. Just Follow instructions and don't cheat.

walk and sip@!

Hang in there i was sleeved Monday 11/26/12. and with the liquid preop diet and surgery combined i have lost 36lbs in the last 3 weeks. I,m not even a full week out and i already feel some better and it gets better everyday. I couldnt hardly stand long enough to shower before surgery.

Hi all,

Thanks for the prayers, sleeved yesterday, home today. everything went great. I am very sore and moving slow but tolerating liquids well. it feels different not at all hungry and you do have to sip sip sip to get close to goals. I know now why they say Proteins first cause you feel full so quickly.Proteins anf fluids in the required amounts is what gets the weight off, and keeps it coming off.

My sleeve is schedule for 7:30 in the morning! I'm excited and at peace lots of people are praying for me. I have lost 30lbs the last 14days on the liquid diet, cant wait too see what happens after surgery. Please remember and say apray for me in the morning. I'll try to post asap and let you know what it was like. Thanks everyone Sandra

I didn't get a response but the watery stools stopped on day 7, I still have them some but not as much and as unexpectedly as before.

My diet is 14 days liquid pre-op, I do 3 Protein Shakes a day Premiere Protein from Sams club its doable. sugar free Jello, sugar-free poposicles, broth, cream Soups blended, crystal light, tea and coffee, diet v8 splash. Im on day 6 doing ok so far, My body has been going through a cleansing. It is suppose to be different after surgery you want be as hungry and wont be able to hold as much either. Looking at the things others can have makes me want to cheat but i'm afraid to. If anything goes wrong I wanna be able to say i did everything my doc said.at least, I would blame myself otherwise. Good luck and hang in there. Sandra

Im on my required 2 week pre-op liquid diet day 6, I'm doing okay getting in plenty of fluids problem is it comoing back about as fast as it goes in, Watery stools started about day 3 and continue is this normal ? Does it get easier Im kinda afraid to leave home because when i gotta go I GOTTA GO!
