Yeah I need to throw my scale away, lol. Today was honestly my first day weighing myself since surgery on the 7th. I plan on weighing once a week.

No mam, everything is covered in the price, don't worry u will do great!

Glad I'm "normal" lol. Thanks everyone!

I am 4 days post and I feel like I can drink with no problems, yes I am taking it easy and taking small sips every few minutes but I've heard stories where people can hardly get down 8 ounces in a day. Yesterday I took down 70 ounces and was surprised.Is this Normal?

Yes it is normal the first few days. It's all the old blood in ur stomach. On day 3 I vomited old blood and my doctor said I'm fine. He gave me Naseau meds and I felt better.

Now I really want some feta cheese.... Dang in liquids ;/

I'm on para guard which is an IUD and I love it, no added weight gain or hormones, couldn't stand the depo with all the weight gain and raging hormones, just MHO

Yummy, my mom makes her own Greek yogurt that us Arabs refer to as "labaneh" I'm going to make tzastiki next week while I'm on full liquids!

Yes mam only lab work to make sure no blood clots and liver shrinkage

Anybody have any suggestions on things to "chew" while on post up clears ? Anything besides Popsicles and jello? I'm being strong and doing well but darn it I'm kinda going crazy, it's my third week on liquids and I'm sad ;(. I know it's part of it but thought if ask for advice.

Great suggestions, I want a snow cone now , lol

I'm sure there r threads about this already, but I'm being lazy and wanted to know how to kick things up a bit. I'm two days post op but been on clears for 2 1/2 weeks now. Any suggestions r great! Thanks! I'm drinking my koolaid and juices but really want to kick up my broths.

I went to mexico and never had Mexican broth ;(.

lol about Canada !

The book comes in the package with all ur meds you take home with u, it's all inclusive, the protein bullets in using now are fruit punch flavor by professional strength the elite series, also the same makers as muscle tech. I would take a picture but not sure how to do that thru my phone, lol. Hope that helps

Sounds yum! Thanks diva !

So weird, I'm a certified chef and I had a dream I opened a dessert shop and I couldn't eat anything I made. Was kinda funny!

I can't do that, it is just straight clears, thanks for the input though.

You will do great, dr. A said I did so well on my liquid diet and that's what's so important! Stick to it and you will have no problems. you get tired of the "sweet liquids" but it will pass with time. They give u meds thru ur IV to help with gas, Naseau, pain, and all the above. U will be taken care of.

1/4 cup per serving but dont over do it, it's high in cholesterol, I love avocados too and used to eat them right out the shell with a spoon and fresh lemon. I wouldn't do more than one serving per day .

Good evening everyone, I can't believe it. I have been sleeved with no pain or discomfort. I will be going home tomorrow morning (6 hour drive). Let me start off by saying that Dr. Alvarez in Piedras Negras is wonderful and cares so much about his patients. I had surgery first and then the lady who was a revision had hers done. He only does 2-3 surgeries a day. I stayed at the holiday inn in eagle pass the night before and didn't even sleep for five minutes. By the time my alarm went off at 6 am I was ready to go. I came in, did my bloodworm, and had surgery. When I woke up I asked my mom if I was done because I was so shocked that I didn't feel anything at all. I mean literally guys, I kept wondering if it was real or not. I did my walking and they had me on nausea meds, pain killers, and something for gases. I got my IV this morning and will released about 8 am tomorrow. I'm still in shock and can't wait to head home, I already feel lighter and better and can not complain about one thing. They switched my mom and I to another room because people who had a bigger room got released today, and our room was very tiny. We got taken care of and Jessica (his nurse assistant) is great and truly cares about ur well being. I'm here to help anyone out, but as for now I'm going to take my laps around the hospital and get some rest before I leave tomorrow. This is the best decision I've ever made and I'm so happy I did. Remember , the better u do in ur liquid diet, the better you results u will get once sleeved, trust me when I say Dr. Alvarez said I feel so great because of my 10 pound lost on my liquid diet, I cheated once and that was with a hard boiled egg, then again I did an extra week of liquids some can't each myself how to control myself and I knew I can do it. If I can, anyone certainly can. Take care everyone! Susie
