I am 1 week out and still having issues getting all my fluids in but I am able to eat yogurt now and cream soups. From what my doctor said that's all a part of my fluid intake so I'm happy to be able to advance. I bought silicone ice pop makers and made crystal light ice pops. That's seemed to help.

Pepcid! I take 2 chewable a every night for indigestion. I also work for a pharmacy.

I feel like I'm not hungry at all! I have to make myself get my protein and liquids in every day. I did have a craving for something crunchy today.

I have a total of 5 incisions. 4 are really tiny and I can't even feel them the 5th one is where the stomach was pulled out of.

Do you have stitches or glue? I went to have my nails done today, and then I went shopping a little. I think I over did it, I really need a nap. I am going to limit the distances I drive until I have my follow up appointment. I have 4 that are stitches and 1 that is staples.

As soon as your doctor clears you. I am seeing mine on the 24th so I'm hoping he will clear me then. I am on full liquids now.

My little incisions are sooo itchy!

Got this at The Vitamin Shoppe..a little expensive but so good! 40g of ISOPure protein, 0carbs and 0fat.

My surgery was moved from next Thursday to this Monday. Good luck with everything! Good luck!

How are you feeling?

Hospital just called. I have to be up in Princeton at 5:30am for my surgery at 7:30. Nerves and excitement are starting to kick in.

My stats for day 2

Thank you ladies!! I have been drinking more then I thought ☺️

Do you count your protein shakes in with your liquid intake? I drank 32oz of water and had 27oz of protein shakes.

I just realized the last shake had way way to many carbs! Thank god it was only a sample

So I am on my pre-op diet day 1 - so far I have had 2 shakes and 24oz of water with crystal light. 2 questions.. * should I be eating even if I'm not hungry? 8am shake 11am shake and I'm not hungry. * if you check out the pic attached it shows my intake. Should I be concerned with the carbs?

Just sent you a friend request! I'm under Nicole Marie

I am going to look into BLIS. My cost is 15k out of pocket. That covers 1 night at the Hotel Princeton ( aka Princeton Medical Center...this hospital literally looks like the Four Seasons Hotel lol) and my surgeon fee.

I start my pre-op diet on Monday. I am dreading that! I went for my testing which took forever and then I go to my PCP for clearance on the 8th. My date is Monday the 13th.

Happy Surgery Month!!! Just got to the hospital for my pre-surgery testing.

@tina0037 I live about 20 minutes away. I'm right outside of Hammonton.

Yes!! I find it easier to get my 64oz of water in with a straw. I start my pre-op diet on the 5th but I have all my pre-op testing on the 1st. I had to switch surgeons because I am self pay but I am seeing my original nut on the 2nd. I want to make sure I have everything ready and I'm prepared.

My gf is 2 days out and she is in so much pain ???? I'm trying to not think about it but really makes me nervous about recovery. They had her drink barium to put gas in her stomach to check for leaks 24hrs after and she started to dry heave. I pray we all have good pain meds ????????
