    I'm so terrified of a getting a leak. A new pain started about 4 hours ago, left side, and if i move the wrong way, it's stronger and sharper. I'm not nauseated, and I'm on liquids only and have no issues with taking them in, and a little diarreaha (spell?) just recently. It doesn't feel like gas. Those that have had leaks what were your 1st symptons? This pain is enough so that I'm worried.

    Very well said Mina! The dry mouth drove me nuts!! I had a humidifier added to my oxygen (nose) because I could hardly talk. I had 3 medicine cups, they stayed filled with Water, and 2 flavors of Crystal Light. I was in my room 6pm and thought "no way am I getting out tomorrow"...but was walking by 9pm, dressed the next morning, on my way home before 2pm the following day. It was rough, but do"able"!

    Vitamin D chewable gels (10,000 IU per serving) 1 x day, Centrum chewables 1 x day, sublingual B12 1 x day, and Bariatric Advantage Wild berry Punch Crystals multi w/calcium 1 scoop 3 x day in my protien drinks. I'm just 12 days post op. I ordered the Bariatric Advantage pre-op diet kit, and the post-op diet kit (protien shakes and bars (pre-op), whey Protein isolate powder, D, B12, crystals (post-op diet). I too didn't start the Vitamins until a week after surgery, and will continue forever....I'm ready for some new protein flavors and whatnot...and there are plenty of options out there and on this forum....good luck!

    I too, thought next Tuesday would be 3 weeks....I am not doing pureed foods, still just protien drinks 3 x day and lots of sips of Crystal Light in between. Still having to crush meds, and not eat anything that won't go thru a strainer, Dr.'s orders until the 3rd week. I find that I am missing the act of chewing, if that makes sense? The only thing I have chewed is my daily Centrum multi...my B12 is sublingual, my Vitamin D is very soft Gummy, my other multi is a scoop of crystals that I put in my Protein Drinks. I just want to chew a piece of American Cheese......mmmmmmmmmmmm....lol. My 1st follow up appt. is next Thursday....I will certainly ask, if that is close enough to 3 weeks to swallow my meds, add soft foods, and does everyone's hair fall out?? I can say I am not hungry, but I go to fridge through out the day, and just open it...luckily there's nothing in there to tempt me at all! My husband has been cooking for himself and not stocking the fridge. I told him, we will stock in a week in half, cottage cheese, string cheese (Yes!), delli meats, and whatever else on my list for days 22-42!!! Oh I am allowed fat free frozen popcicles...I think I'll have one now, it's close to chewing...you get to bite it and let it melt in your mouth...lol!!

    I got a late start on my pre-op diet, started about 9 days before surgery, 2 Protein shakes and small dinner a day. I lost about 9 lbs. I'll be honest, I love margaritas, I mean just like people like their beer. I slowed up on them pre-op... and have not missed them at all post-op (1 week)!! Unbelievable!! Haven't even thought about 'em!! My husband still has his beer after work, doesn't faze me. Hope it's the same for you, cuz I've heard the same thing... No alcohol. Good luck!!
