Three weeks post op you def dont want bubbles... also 2oz will put you over the legal limit... your body cannot process alcohol the same way now... they say no alcohol for at least a year for a reason.

Depends on conditions you have. If you have high blood pressure or any other heart issues you will meet with a cardiologist... sleep apnea=pulmonary clearance... stuff like that

Starry when was your surgery?

We should get together when you are recovering! It will be nice to have someone going through similar timelines.

I am on day 4 of my new life. Although I dont really count days 1 & 2... I was sedated because I was so nauseaus. Got 30oz in yesterday so was released from the hospital. Never thought it would be so hard to drink 30oz lol... have to get to 60/day so I can start puree diet.

Im on pre op liquids... surgery is in 8 days

I couldnt drink it this morning... has a weird aftertaste

The RTD... Amy what flavor did you get? I havent tried all of them yet...

the only one I have been able to tolerate is apple melon... everything else has some horrible aftertaste... I dunno maybe because Im a chef my taste buds are pickier. ..

So I am still pre op... I was on a no carb diet for about a month and now 2 week liquid... in that time I have lost 23lbs... ALL FROM MY BOOBS!!! I went from a 42DD to a 38C... These boobs do not fit my current body... 10 days till surgery. I am so self conscious with my hubby right now. BAH I need to start losing from other places... Rant over

Oh and sugar free gum totally helps

You can do this!!! I am on day 5 of 14... its hard but everytime you are struggling just think of the reasons you are doing this. Its going to be so worth it!!

I just wanted to say even though you are angry with God or even unsure of his existance right now... a lot of churches have a grief share or celebrate recovery. Grief share has helped a hunch of people I know who arent church goers and celebrate recovery could help you find a healthy way to handle the emotions without food... they are both free and even though it is a christian setting there isnt pressure... you can ignore this or check it out but I will be praying for you and your family

My NUT had me do lean protiens and veg only, 3 servings of non fat dairy and 80oz of water per day. I lost 20lbs in 2 weeks... will power will get you through... no carbs or sugar

Here is the full story on drinking with meals .. there is a muscle at the end of your stomach. This muscle opens when liquid enters your stomach. This is why we shouldn't drink fruits and vegetables.. we are not giving out new stomachs time to absorb the nutrients. This also makes the food you have eaten go into your intestinal track if you wait to drink you will feel full for longer because the food is staying in the stomach for longer.

16 days till my sleeve... start liquids on friday

Unjury unflavored powder... unjury.com or amazon

I have decided that since we want more kids after surgery I am just going to nurse them... FOREVER lol... that way they always have some volume... but hubby has agreed to start saving for a boob job

Am I the only one not stressed about this two week clear liquid pre op diet? I mean I am actually kinda looking forward to it. I'm a chef and always around food and end up not eating much anyways so I feel like it isn't going to be an issue... am I really weird? Has anyone else felt like this? What was your experience?

My doc put me on a phase one low carb lean protein diet I have lost 17lbs so far I have one week left of that and then I start liquids for two weeks. I only needed to lose 10-15lbs for surgery. I have found if I stick to the diet and follow it to the letter the weight comea off!!!
