I cheated. I had to be on 15 day liquid diet and couldn't stand it at like 3 points during those 2 weeks I cheated and had a grilled chicken breast and even some chocolate on Easter. Now i'm 10 days post op and just fine Steph

Hey everyone! I'm 8 days post op and despite some major pain where I had my drain I'm doing well . I am on Clear liquids until my recheck on Wed. I'm getting really tired of the clear liquids and would give anything for even a Protein shake but not allowed. Hoping my doc puts me on phase 2. What foods were you allowed on that next phase?? Thanks! Steph

So when I left the hospital I was told I was to be on a clear liquid diet until my recheck which isn't till Wed, May 2nd. I'm just afraid because I am hardly getting any Protein in with the clears. Anyone else get these instructions or were u able to leave the hospital and drink Protein shakes and stuff?? Steph

I'm doing ok. Can definitely feel when my pain meds are bout to wear off! Have lots of pain in one certain area on my left side. Get very full very fast, trying to keep up on drinking water abd stuff. How are you feeling?

Hey everyone! I am 2 days out from my RNY. Was able to come home today. Just a bit uncomfortable overall doing OK. On just liquids for the next 2 weeks. Supposed to take in 4 oz every 2 hrs. Steph

Hey everyone. I'm at the hospital and am a little over 1 day post op. had 1 little complication, i somehow got pneumonia . I'm doing ok otherwise just a lot of gas pain. Hoping to go home on monday.

OMG, I'm so nervous!!!

Tomorrow is the BIG day! Wow this week flew by! Any last words of advice?? Steph

Omg! I've never heard of that! They are just going to put those booties on my legs and give me blood thinners in hosp!

Congrats!! My surgery is this coming Friday!

I'm sooooo excited for you! Good luck! Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life Stepj

So I had all my pre op testing done at the hospital which included an upper GI . It's like drinking mixed wet cement. I'm surprised I kept it down! Glad its the last thing I have to check before surgery next week. Oh and i've lost 2 lbs per day in the pre op liquid diet xD Steph

OMG Jessica you made me LOL! Thank you BTW I had no idea there were Protein shots I'm going to check those out today Steph

Hey everyone! I'm on day 6 of my crappy pre-op liquid diet but in these last 6 days i've lost 10 lbs .

Every dr is different. Your dr should be giving you a guideline of what you can and can't eat those first two weeks. Good luck with your surgery!!!

LOL, I'm finally to the point that I have no appetite anymore.....makes me wonder if i should have surgery still . Im not getting enough protein in though cuz I'm only drinking one shake a day cuz I can't stand them!!!

I have yet to find a protein shake that doesn't make me gag . I was put on a liquid diet for 2 weeks but it seems every dr is different and they all requirw different things. I feel like I'm not gonna make it another 11 days on these nasty protein shakes and broth

So I'm on day 3 of my 15 day liquid diet. I have cheated once per day. Not huge like yesterday i had some popcorn and today I had some rice . I can't stand the protein shakes I got from the doctor and I feel the need to at least put something in my tummy
