I'm still a little confused about the whole liquid phase in general... Ik for purée u eat for 20 min wait half an hour drink liquids for an hour wait half an hour and so on... But for the clear liquid stage how often do u eat/drink (eat=Popsicles &jello) ik it's very important to keep hydrated but I want to make sure I'm not going overboard ESPECIALLY when I'm feeling hungry right now... I took Prevacid to eliminate some of the acid ( which I was told acid could feel like hunger)but I still feel hungry. I'm also afraid to graze.... like on Popsicles and soups and stuff .... At the hospital yesterday I almost didn't go home because I wasn't drinking or eating (wasn't hungry at all) now that I'm home I feel like i can tolerate more

Ok thanks. I do have that medication. A nurse is coming to my house in two hours to discuss medication. Also how was ur gas pain after surgery?? Mine was unbearable so I took gas x and now I'm doing a whole lot better. I still have gas pains but now it's moving along instead of just sitting there and now I'm able to pass gas which I was never able to before

I feel like I'm regaining my appetite ... My surgery was Wednesday ... Barely ate/drank anything Thursday or Friday .. Now that I'm home I'm drinking clear liquids... I have trouble stretching out my liquids over an hour cuz I don't feel the small dipping fills me up

So my surgery is tomorrow and I'm only allowed to drink clear liquids and jello today... I feel my body is in starvation mode... I'm trying to keep myself busy and distracted so I won't think about food and how hungry I am... Any advice?!?!?

Hi I'm Chandler. I'm 17, female and a senior in high school and my surgery for the gastric sleeve is scheduled for next week during my February vacation!!! I don't have an exact date.. Either the Tuesday or Wednesday. Seeing as how I am currently sitting in the doctors office for my last consultation with the surgeon, (I need to get this date today) I thought it would be befitting to post here and possibly find out if any other teens were having the surgery this month. It would be nice to hear from someone who's going through it around the same time as me.
