I had my surgery on April 16th and I am on my week long Clear Liquids also.
I have had to use a spirometer also. I had to use it every two hours while in the hospital, then at least 4 times a day once I got home. It is a nuisance, but like you I can tell a difference in using it.

Amazing progress! I could not tolerate the shakes post open either until I came across a comment saying that premier caramel shake added to Decaf coffee was amazing, and it is! 5 months post open and it's the only way I drink it

Be sure that you're eating slowly. When you drink, try not to suck in; you almost need to pour the Water in your mouth. I had the hiccups every time I drank the first and second days, but, once I started pouring the water in, that helped.

I just had my surgery last month, and let me tell you, the gas pains were the worst part of it. It took 3-4 days for it to go away. Just hang in there. Burp and fart as much as possible!

I had my surgery today. So far so good. Been up to use the restroom and walk a couple of times now. Had some gas pain, but nothing terrible. My stomach is a little sore, like from doing crunches , but not so bad I can take it
Everything went well. I did not have a hiatal hernia, so I was lucky in that regard.

Tomorrow is my day. I have to be at the hospital at 8 am. I am excited and nervous. I have been doing a diet for the last couple of weeks, but today it is Clear Liquids only. I think it is mental, but I am starving. haha. I haven't been hungry the while dieting till today.

My surgery is on April 16th (less than one week). I had my pre-op appointment today. I am really excited. THe nervousness has subsided for now, I am in the mode of "let's get this over with" but I am sure this weekedn the nervousness will return.
Good luck to everyone!
