June 1st is my date, getting real, really quick! Hoping everything goes as planned...praying for no complications.

. Feeling the same way. Left ovary pain, and a bit higher. I called my clinic and got the hormone talk too. 3weeks out at 45. I'm using liquid Tylenol before bed, and I'm up at 2 am writing this. It's been about 4 days and my felt like gas too. Then moved lower.

I'm a little different in my take on things. I know other people that had surgery a couple years before me. Whenever I asked, "can I have ...*something" after surgery, their answer was always, go ahead...1 bite or sip and you'll know!
Yes, I followed rules of the stages, but out of fear of puncturing the staple line. As for carbonation...the jury is still out, no proof either way on stretching. However, if you got fat eating pizza and beer, don't eat pizza and beer! If that is your once a month treat and can keep it to half a slice and wait 15 to 30 min and drink a half a beer...go for it.
My thought is, if you do it too soon, you will get sick and will remember that feeling. If you wait until you can Handel it...it won't hurt you. At least not physically. As for calories, carbs and whether it's worth it, that's for you to decide, not us!
I craved frozen coke for 2 months, had 2 sips of my husband's about a month out and burped like Charlie in the chocolate factory! Was it worth it, I don't know...but I won't have it again for several months, if ever. That's my point. Try what you want, as long as it's not Doritos on a new sleeve (puncture posibility), you'll know if your sleeve can take it.

Everything does seem much sweeter than before.

I tried spicy tuna hand roll the other day with no rice, YUMM! Today I tried the bean and cheese from Taco Bell another good one yum yum

Totally agree with the sweetness thing! That's my biggest change in taste so far.

Looks great. I had the surgery on the same day, I'm down 20lbs since surgery...how much have you lost, I don't think I have the same changes.

I drink the clear Isopure in a bottle, it's 2g/oz and not as heavy as the shakes. However, I keep having to stop after each oz and wait for spasms...so I'm slow on intake.

Today's the day! Hope everyone is doing well...

I know I can push more but just scared to stretch out stomach or over due it and not heal. I'll keep pushing a little more each time. Thanks

Thank god you're ok. Day by day I'm sure you'll get better.

I've told most people I care about, but can't bring myself to tell the in-laws. They suggested that I get it done last year, and I was truley offended! Now, I don't want to give them the satisfaction. They don't like me anyway, don't know why I care, they tend to be my biggest stress, even going through this.
3 days out, picking up my scripts for post op, and get my time to be there, later today. Pre op hasn't been horrible (after day 4)i have adjusted. Wondering if I can include Isopure clear on Sunday (my clear liquid day). Sure they have a chalk like after taste, but I don't want to be hungry either. Anyone know? I will probably ask dr, later today.
Also been refinishing furniture to stay busy and keep mind off surgery. Sorry about the long post, just a lot on my mind, I guess.

Just left ER, they were concerned about my fever of 3 days...but no worries, all was good. Was just my body fighting off stuff. All labs came back good and no leak! Whew.

I too am struggling to keep up with my 5yr old. I can't imagine a 4yr old. Everything's getting better, but I'm struggling to get my fluids in.

Sent me home today, I still have a ton of gas pain, no matter how much I walk. The hiccup/burps are really painful. Sipping on Isopure clear and Water.< /p>

Today's the day! Hope everyone is doing well...

June 1st coming too fast and too slow at the same time! Trying to get the house in order the kids schedules lined up and stock the fridge/freezer for the hubby to hopefully have an easier time. Praying for a speedy recovery, and looking forward to some normalcy around here. Anyone else prepping and stocking like crazy?

Good luck everyone! Heading into surgery in the next couple hrs, hope you are all doing well!

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved this week!! I hope everything goes well for you!!

Was thinking last night, this whole process is a lot like being pregnant. All the doctor appointments, the food cravings during pre-op, the nesting and preparing at home, and the nerves as it gets closer.
But this time, I'm the one getting a new start on life!
Less than 3 days, and counting...nervous, scared and excited for great things to come!
