My surgery was 7/14/14. Wish I had some advice, I didn't have a liquid diet before. But maybe if I did, I wouldnt be struggling with the liquid diet after. So stick with whatever your doc is telling you.

My surgery was 7/14/14. Im 5 days post op. It has been a little struggle, first few days it was hard getting my liquids down. I was always feeling so full so fast. Now I can get Water and crystal light. When I eat Soup sometimes I feel like I have eaten too much. I start feeling it all in my chest and shoulders. It is taking some getting use to knowing when to stop and what that feeling is like before the pain.

As far as the scale I dont own one and im glad, im going to wait until my one week post op visit on Monday to see what the results are. I may think about buying one at a later time. Lol.

Other than all of that, the normalcy is coming back one day at a time. Ive been walking and making sure I take my Vitamins, drinking my Protein, and doing my breathing exercises.

Day 3 post op. I had the gastric sleeve.

Had my surgery yesterday around two and here are some things I discovered that I hadn't heard on this forum yet:

1. They pump you so full of fluids constantly that even if you don't feel like waking you are up to pee every hour so you might as well.

2. Peeing takes forever. With all the anesthesia and pain meds it's like trickle, trickle, trickle.

3. Hiccups are the worse form of pain. Waking keeps the gas at bay, but hiccups come before the belching and it will cause you to miss a step to say the least.

Hope this helps any unsleeved lurking around here like I was for months trying to figure this process out!

The hiccups were crazy, mine hurt. My surgery was on 7/14. I also had to have a catheter hooked up because I was filling up faster than it was coming out. Im home now and my main goal is just getting the liquids down.

You guys!!!!!!! Monday is sooooo close!!! I have to be at the hospital at 5 am for my 7:30 surgery!! I wish all you guys the best of luck!!!!

Good luck to you, my surgery is also on July 14 at 10am I have to be at the hospital at 8am.
