Amarie sugarfree Popsicles and sugar free jello were my survivor foods lol just because it has more of a solid texture. Broths tend to get very boring especially after drinking them for a whole preop. I also drank a lot of crystal light and no calorie diet green tea and the water I drank had to be cold so I stocked up on water bottles and tossed a few in freezer! Good luck!

There is a liquid multi vitamin at costco and it's pretty good. Kind of like a Gatorade flavor. It comes with a 30 day supply and a bottle for like 20 bucks.

Yes I'm going to be asking for that. I was prescribed tramadol and it's working for my incision pain just not for my tooth ache!

So I'm 6 days post op and Im feeling very weak. I don't have the urge for water, protein , broth or anything! I have thee worst wisdom tooth pain ever that is not allowing me to sleep. I've lost 16lbs since surgery last Friday and I just feel that is way too much. No wonder I feel drained! I'm really unmotivated for anything right now, as the incision pain was subsiding the tooth pain just barged right in! It's horrible! Any suggestions for pain control!?

Oh good luck! It will be so quick! The recovery gets better each day!

Update! I had my first meal in hospital, it consisted of chicken broth, tea, black coffee and a Popsicle. I was able to drink the chicken broth and had the Popsicle just fine! The yea was a lil hard to get down I'm still working on it. It's only 3 oz. the coffee I did not touch. I have a lot of gas when I drink but walking helps! The liquid for the leak test is by far the WORST drink ever! It tasted like straight vodka. It was horrible and they made me gulp it, that gutted a bit. I'm hoping the worst has passed and I'm hoping to recovery over the next few days in the comfort of my own home since I am being discharged in half hour! Yay!

Good luck to you! The liquid diet will get easier! I was sleeved yesterday and I'm currently waiting for them to come pick me up from my room and take me for my leak test! Hopefully all goes well and I can start the liquid diet again!

Hello all! I'm officially sleeved! I had my surgery at 11am and I was in recovery room by 12:20. Doc said everything went so smoothly! I'm not in too much pain more like discomfort. I have 5 small incisions, my mouth is super dry! I requested ice chips but I have to wait a few more hours for them. I have my leak test in the morning and if all is good and I'm able to get some water down I will be released at 6pm tomorrow!

Thank you!!!

So I did my pre-op yesterday and my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 9am. I'm on clear liquids as I've been for 2 weeks! It has been very overwhelming! Yesterday was my birthday and I turned 24, I couldn't eat or drink! My stomach feels so empty! I'm pretty anxious and I'm scared to see how things will go afterwards! Yikes!

Good luck on your new journey! I'm sitting nervously in the pre-op room now getting pre admitted! My surgery is on Friday! The whole Friday the 13th thing creeped me out!!!

Good luck! Mine is on the 13th!

I'm new to this! I have a pre admission appointment tomorrow and Friday I will be getting the gastric sleeve! I'm extremely nervous but I came this far and I'm ready for it be a new beginning! I'm so overwhelmed with the liquid diet and to think I will still be on it for another 2-3 weeks is not so motivating! Lol
