I was sleeved a week ago and the only thing my stomach is really able to handle is Gatorade G2 at room temperature and even then I have to drink it slow. I have pretty much lived off of this all week! Still only getting about 20oz of fluid in a day but each day is a little better. I hope you are able to find something that works for you!

I was just sleeved on Monday (11/19) and I am having a heck of time with getting fluids down. It flat out hurts with every sip. I have tried water, Gatorade, broth and even Popsicles. I'll be lucky to get 5 oz of fluid in me. I DO NOT want to get dehydrated but I just don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Kristi64 - I could have written your exact post. I am up 8lbs since surgery on the 19th and it still hurts to drink I hope we get to feeling better soon!

Army girl - yes, you can take over the counter laxatives. I will be using Miralax today. I hope you feel better soon!

I got home today!! I did spend an extra night in the hospital because they did the leak test so late and it really set me back. I was very happy with the extra night since I have 3 kids at home. Overall things are going great, except I am having a REALLY hard time drinking anything as it all hurts going down. Hopefully that will change soon as I really do not want to get dehydrated!

Got home from the hospital after being sleeved on Monday. I felt great but did stay an extra night Due to them doing the leak test so late which made me super nauseous. I was actually very great full for the extra night of rest. Having 3 kids at home I knew it would be hard. I did make the mistake of weighing myself as soon as I got home. I was UP 8 lbs. please tell me this is normal!!! I am having a REALLY hard time getting liquids down, every sip hurts

Good Morning! I had my sleeve yesterday and really for the most part I am feeling great! I was in a TON of pain in recovery after waking up but they managed it well. Dilulad has been my best friend and I have been taking it every 4 hours. I was walking the second I got to my room from recovery and now I just waiting to take my leak test! Plan to discharge sometime today!

I am here at the hospital!! IV is in place and just waiting for the rest to happen! Should be in the OR in 45 minutes! Not gonna lie, I am nervous!

Well tomorrow is the big day! I have to wake up at 3:30am to give myself a Lovenox shot and then an hour later take my magic pill that is suppose to help with the nausea after surgery and then I'll be on the way to the hospital at 5am! Surgery is at 7:30am!

I will be right there with you tomorrow!!! Mine is scheduled for 7:30am! Praying for us both!!

Super excited for Monday!!! I have been on pre-op for a week and a half and getting really discouraged. I lost great the first week and have put on 2lbs this week?!?!!! How is that even possible when I am lucky to get 600 calories in a day and I am walking a mile almost every day. Grrrr!!!

Hello everyone!! My surgery is just 4 days away! Nervous bit excited! I have been on the pre-op for the past week and a half and the scale was moving great the first week but this week it shows I have gained 2 lbs...how is that possible??? I am allowed yogurt, fruit or egg in the morning, protein shake for lunch and then 4oz lean white meat with a green veggie for dinner and then another protein shake (which I never do the last shake). With that I am lucky to take in 600 calories a day. Any ideas?

I just got the samples and tried the cherry and it was YUCKY to me. I did mix it with 16oz of water and threw it out after I choked down 4oz. I guess I will try with less water and see how the others are.

One more week Ladies!!! How is everyone doing? I am down 7 lbs for my first week of pre-op. I was down 9 but have somehow gained 2 and I have no clue how. I haven't cheated at all! I am doing a mile on the treadmill everyday! Good Luck to everyone and I hope you all have a great week!!

November 19th for me too!!! I am down 8lbs so far on my pre-op!! Good luck to you!!

I am scheduled for the 19th as well!! Today I start my 2 week pre-op diet! Good luck to everyone!!

I have bought mostly Muscle Milk - chocolate already made and then cookies and cream and strawberries and cream powder. I also ordered Syntrax Nectar Protein samples online that come in fruity flavors as I know I will get tires of all the chocolate flavors!

I am scheduled for Nov. 19th too!!!! I went to GNC and the store today to stock up on protein shakes and my lite meals I am allowed!! Good Luck to you!!!!

I start my pre-op diet on Monday! Surgery is scheduled for Nov. 19th in Dallas!!
