I was sleeved July 16th, and I am on my clear liquid diet. I am sipping water, juice and broth and I am having terrible heartburn, like Montezuma's revenge heartburn. Malox, chewabes, GasX strips- nothing is helping. I may just need to suffer through it. Is this something that will last forever?
My VS surgery is in less than 24 hours and this has been an emotional week! I feel very excited and a bit nervous. The impending surgery has forced me to face the reality that my relationship with food is ending, and for ten years all I have wanted is that. Now that I am getting it, it shook me up a bit! But all in all I am grateful for the experiences I have had these last ten days. But mostly, I am so amazed at the hearts of the people that are commenting on this site. You have no idea how much you have helped me prepare. I have been laughing and at times crying and learning from all of you. Wow - I'm so impressed. The wishes of good luck and the advice you all give to each other do my heart good. I survived this week being uplifted by the people here. Thanks everyone!! Cant wait to be on the other side of surgery.
