I know they are rare but I was wondering if anyone else here had a leak after surgery? It has been rough and it would be nice to talk to someone that has gone through it.

I just take some beads in my mouth and take a sip of liquid and repeat.

Or you could probably mix it in no sugar added apple sauce or yoghurt when you are allowed to have it.

I started out adding my meds to my yogurt but it made me not like my yogurt so now I grind the meds and open the capsules and put them in my mouth and swallow with flavored water. It's much easier for me and I am hoping to like yogurt again in the near future haha.

Hello to all, My name is Patrick, my surgery date is 5/3/2016 from Killen Alabama.

Hi Patrick! Good luck on your surgery, mine is on May 2nd and I am also new here but I am really enjoying this site. I wish I would have found it sooner. Keep us posted!

Only 11 hours in and I want real food. Hah.

My stomach stopped growling at about day 3, but I am sure noticing all the commercials for restaurants and I am smelling food from blocks away...I guess you always want what you can't have haha.

Starting my 2 week pre op liquid diet this morning. Oh boy.

I started mine last Monday. I think it gets easier as you go but make sure you drink all of your Protein because it helps to make you feel full, besides it being healthy. Good luck! Maybe when we are going crazy with wanting "real food" we could check in here instead of being tempted.

I strongly recommend taking before photos. I'm now 3 months post op and a lot of weight has dropped off. I now take a photo every month to mark my progress , and I find it amazing to watch my body change; and I can't believe I was ever that big.

That is a great idea!

I have been on a liquid only diet since Monday. For me, it isn't super great but I am not really hungry, just more so miss solid food. I will never take a chicken breast for granted again. Lol and I am dreaming about food, the other night I dreamed I kept eating food and spitting it out after I realized I am not supposed to be eating it. My pre-op is this Monday and then surgery the Monday after that, so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life!

Sounds like we are having it the same day. My stomach growled LOUDLY for about 3 days when I started the liquid diet. I am having more trouble controlling my blood sugars than anything else, not used to them dropping so low. It's important to not accidentally skip a Protein shake...my bad I love your dream! It's almost 2am here, I woke up dreaming about food, it was a strange dream but pretty funny.

My surgery is also May 2nd and my preop diet is two weeks...which means I am HUNGRY hahaha. I have read that some of the diets are different, mine is all liquid. How is everyone else's preop diet?

How exciting, good luck! I am a week away and I am really hoping to sleep the night before since it's so hard to get sleep in the hospital haha.

Hi everyone, I am new and this is my first post. So glad to have found this site. I am having gastric bypass on May 2nd, so just a week away. This liquid diet two weeks prior is rough!

I hate having my picture taken and I hate looking at them even more but I decided a few years ago after having grandchildren that I would let everyone take my picture anyway because if something happened to me I wanted to be a part of family memories. But those photos were eye opening. I think I saw myself smaller than I am, although I don't know how since the scale doesn't lie. Now I am ALMOST looking forward to seeing pictures of myself through the next year.
