I guess I spoke too soon about being able to get my fluids in. Today started out good I was able to drink my protein shake but since then I struggle to get my fluids and because of nausea and I'm having a lot more belly pain than normal. Trying to walk around but pretty miserable.

Tx! Wow how scary! I hope you get discharged soon and have a safe trip home. I had my drain removed before I left the hospital. Good luck to you also keep in touch!

So I'm 3 days post op. Came home yesterday. The first day was pretty rough but improving each day. I was on clear liquids first 2 days and started full liquids today for a week. So far I don't really feel any restriction. I can get me fluids in without any trouble which makes me nervous but I'm sure I will notice more once Instagram purred and soft food.

Today is the day. Heading to the hospital now. Nervous are on edge!

Tomorrow is the day! I have to be there tomorrow at 6am. I am revision from sleeve to bypass, repair of my hiatal hernia and removing my gallbladder. I survived my 2 week liquid diet and lost 12lbs. Prayers and good vibes to all the September buddies!

Glad you are felling better! I am on day 4 of 2 weeks of liquids. I understand what you are going through yesterday was the worst for me (3 day) I was so sad and emotional all day. I Just wanted to eat! I didn't cheat but it was a really hard day. I woke up today and I am feeling better. I still would love to eat something but it feels more manageable today. We will all make it through!. Good luck!

I'm jealous! Mine is full liquids only for 2 weeks. Best of luck to you on your surgery!

HI! Just wondered are you for 2 weeks of liquids for your pre op diet? I am only on day 2. I'm am glad to hear you say it is getting easier. 14 days seems like forever today.

So I stared my 2 week liquid diet yesterday and I really did fine the first day. This morning I woke up and I'm starving and my mind keeps thinking about food and drifting off to....well if I cheat it's only day 2 so it will be fine. So I decided to try this Millie's sipping broth tortilla soup that I order on Amazon. I read about it on here. I heated it up and it smelled great. It is actually pretty good on its own, but I added a chicken bouillon cube to it, and some pepper and it is delicious! It is warm and filling! I feeling like I can make it though again...at least until dinner time comes and I am starving again..lol Just wanted to share my tip for all those 2 week liquid dieters out there.

I know I have survived the first day with no cheating but I have definitely thought about it and justified in my head why I would have been OK...lol. My surgery is 730 on 9/10. I am having a revision from sleeve to bypass, hiatal hernia repair and my gallbladder removed.

Starting my 2 week diet today! I'm determined to be strong! I know I can do this but I'm still dreading the next 2 weeks of only full liquids. It seems crazy to think it will be 3-4 weeks from now before i will be able to have any real food. I saw this on Facebook today i thought it was appropriate the first day of my liquid diet...lol. 13 days to go I can do this!

Good vibes and prayers sent your way!

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow Ellie! We are both on the same path. I know we will be successful this time. Please keep me posted on your progress. I have less than 3 weeks to go so I'm not far behind you.

SEPTEMBER 10TH! I having a revision to bypass from the sleeve. I start my 2 week liquid diet 8/27. Good Luck and smooth surgeries to everyone!

Because of my weight gain and my BMI i was approved for the revision. I am also having my hiatal hernia re-repaired and my gallbladder removed. Both of which have been causing my a lot of reflux, nausea, pain and at times vomiting.

I am definitely not counting on that as a punishing tool. I meant that kind of tongue and cheek because i know i have a sweet tooth and I don't want to fall back into back habits. I asked because I am concerned about dumping syndrome mostly with carbs or hidden sugars. I work 7 days a week and with a hectic schedule if i grab something on the go I wonder how my stomach will deal. I am going to plan ahead and prepare ahead as much as possible, but sometimes just trying consider my new lifestyle and stomach in my very crazy work schedule.

Have you had any issues with dumping syndrome? I have a major sweet tooth so i want to stay away from sweets all together. When i get a taste of it i crave it all the time so best for me to avoid them all together, I almost hope for dumping syndrome with sweets as an extra deterrent.

I have to get my mindset right. I am having a revision from sleeve to bypass on 9/10 so I start my 2 week full liquid diet on 8/27. I know where I need to be, and I will get my mind right but this week I seem to be struggling to get there. I am struggling with wanting to eat everything I know I can't and won't be having anymore. I find myself sad thinking about the things I won't be able to enjoy anymore to keep myself on track. I am a full time nurse and my husband and I also own an antique mall so I work the equivalent of 2+ full time jobs. So we both work very hard 7 days a week. We don't party, drink, travel, etc, so the one thing we do enjoy is going out for a good meal or treating our self to ice cream etc. I know it seems ridiculous and I believe me I know I want to loose the weight and to be healthier, but I am just having a pity party for myself that our highlights will now be smashed cauliflower and grilled chicken...lol...which I actually do like. To give you a little background, I had the sleeve 5 years ago and I did great the 1st year I lost almost 100lbs. But once I hit the year mark I couldn't lose anymore and it was struggle to maintain. Even with eating right, exercising, etc. I found myself getting down over not losing an and the scale creeping back up and a started making back food choices. Over the last 5 years I have fallen back to back habits, and I have gained back 60lbs and all of my reflux symptoms. I really wanted to start restricting myself this week and next so that the full liquid diet maybe wouldn't be such a shock to my system. When I had the sleeve I only had to do one week and that was hard enough, but I know I can get through it. But my mind keeps saying go ahead and eat it now, because you won't be able to eat it anymore in a few weeks. I know I can do this I Just needed to vent a little! Thanks for listening! Anyone else have the Last Supper Syndrome??????
