  1. . Great! I will be at the next one!!
  2. . Broth,protein shakes, water, Gatorade, caffeine free tea, liquid pain reliever, pillows, and a heating pad!!
  3. . Go to cvs, walgreens etc and buy Abreva!! Works great!!
  4. . I ordered win ton soup and had the broth- also Thai soup- tom ka chicken and took out the chicken! So yummy!
  5. . First 3 days were hard. But after that I actually felt fine, had energy, my tummy did feel empty but I wasn't starving. You have 4 protein shakes, 1 soup, 1 protein bar, water. And can have a sugar free hello or Popsicle. You will do great!! It edgers you prepared for post op cause your on liquids 3 weeks.
  6. . A referral for the endoscopy. I just called the office at fair oaks hospital- dr Shaw. I has a consult that week and the procedure 2 days away.
  7. . Cold sore on lip or canker sore inside mouth?
  8. . I know! It's my favorite!!
  9. My doc said no soda due to sugar, caffeine can cause ulcer and the carbonation itself will make you feel very uncomfortable, nausea and vomiting. So no bubbles, champagne
  10. . Call the on call doc!! Even if it's nothing it's peace of mind
  11. . You can hardly feel restriction on clear liquids. I tried tomato soup and after 3 bites I felt full, burped so I was def full.
  12. . Also slit of times just using a heating pad and laying it across shoulders or over tummy- my pain subsided.
  13. . I got the children's liquid tylenol and the pharmacist said to take 5 ml for an adult dose and it really took away the pain! I hope she is doing well!!!
  14. . Are you taking meds? I have to take a Prevacid twice a day and have not has gas since post op day 5. i had my surgery April 8th
  15. . 4 more.. You can do it!! 2 weeks after surgery is the same as you will feel and be hungry about 3 days pits op. You don't feel restriction till you start full liquids or mushy. So just make peace with the pre op diet! You feel lighter? I did and that made me feel fantastic and got me through it!
  16. They won't give u a date until your approved with insurance. The day I was approved they called me and I scheduled it within 2 weeks. Started the pre op diet the next day! Then it goes so quick! I'm 11 days post op! Bluepoint is fantastic and your going to all be happy with them. They know exactly what to do with getting things approved and my surgery went so well. First 2 days were bad with gas pains but I have felt fantastic since day 4. Back to work 5 days after surgery. I'm walking and cleaning and getting down all my fluids and 2 protein shakes. I have no incision pain and they are about 75 percent all healed up and down 34 pounds since started preop diet!! If you have any questions let me know!!
  17. . Why are you playing the waiting game?
  18. Mine passed on day 4/5 burping didn't do it. But once I started passing it the other way- felt soooo much better. I walked and walked!
  19. . You can go in water once your incisions are all healed up, otherwise pool or ocean water can get them infected.
  20. . I used them. I loved the chocolate. Vanilla had a funny smell to it.
  21. . I used children's liquid tylenol- the pharmacist just said do 5 ml for adults of it and it tasted good!
  22. I was told no soda, no champagne nothing carbonated. It will cause lots of issues. .
  23. . After I had the surgery- I'm 7 days post op. A nurse who was caring for me asked me how long was my process before I had the surgery. I started last sept -so 8 months. I told her I'm glad I had all 8 months to research, prepare for what I will be giving up but in return gaining. People need the time to really come to terms with this. I'm happy I did this. I won't be happy if one day I stop following the rules and fail. This will be a daily change that needs to be done correctly every day. Your smart to give yourself more time to prepare. You won't regret having the procedure- but if your head isn't in the game you gotta do it when it is. Goodluck!!
  24. . Same with me. Pudding is considered a full liquid.
