Hey
I was sleeve on 4/5 and started 2 day liquid before surgery, basically chicken broth, Water, diet snapple, ginger ale and auger free Popsicle.
I was really hungry when I went in for surgery and after the surgery when I was in recovery I finally was settle in my room And was really thirsty and I was not allow to drink anything till the following day.
Following day comes and you have to start your liquid diet all over for 4 hours you start with 1oz liquid it can be diluted juice or it can be water. I myself took me to the whole afternoon and evening to finish my 1oz liquid. I feel every time I sip I felt discomfort on my chest and just couldn't drink. Finally following day started the 2oz and I started drinking hot broth and it went down smoothly and for every hour my intake increase till I reach 4oz. Finally they took me off IV once I reach 3oz.
Went home on 4/7 and was unable to consume anymore liquids after I got home from hospital. Tuesday wasn't able to consume all 64oz of liquids and today I am still working on my liquids to increase.
When I do feel my stomach empty I try and drink an 1oz of water or my pure Protein ready shake I think the pure Protein Shake that comes ready is works miracles. I also am able to consume the ice pops with out a problem.
I feel super weak I walk alot today to stay off the bed but hopefully this weak feeling will go away.
Hope I help a little wish yah the best and just think positive.
