Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in :) had my surgery Monday 10/1 and I feel great :) just went for a short walk with my dog and got some gas out lol but I took Percocet once in the hospital Tuesday, Tylenol Tuesday night, and since then no pain meds. A few days were tough I won’t lie, but I feel really good and you will too!!!! I’m able to sleep on my side now (game changer as I hate sleeping on my back) and can’t wait to start something other than protein shakes etc in a few days :) stay strong all!!!!

Thanks Margo! I’ll try short distances at first

@margocl nope not on any pain meds as of a few days ago :)

Oh the shots in the stomach didn’t bother me at all!! Glad you’re home!! And yes stairs are not fun right now lol

Just had some onion soup broth and it tastes amazing! I want to try to drive tomorrow but my family is worried it’s too soon.. thoughts?

Also having trouble getting liquids in. Mostly just want to rest and dream about crunchy things even though I’m not hungry

Deanayeah don’t worry it gets better!!!! I was able to sleep on my side last night finally and it was definitely more comfortable. Just hang in there

Hi everyone! I had mine on 10/1 and just wanted to check in! Pain is totally fine at this point except I’m still having gas pains.. so walk walk walk!! Other than that I had some broth tonight and that was nice but not getting much of anything in.. not hungry and it feels a little funny going down at first. Be careful if they give you morphine in the hospital.. made me a nauseous mess! Percocet was fine but haven’t had one since Tuesday morning. Had some Tylenol Tuesday night and that’s it! And I’m a big wuss!!! Good luck all!!

@clara1900 @aapb79gmail.com Good luck today!!! I head over at 1030 but kind of wish it was earlier lol Good luck everyone else today! We got this!!

You can do it — if I could do it, you can!! Try to remember your end goals and just stay strong!!

I’m also struggling with the decision because I’m so damn hangry!!! Lol I’m just like.. I’d rather have pizza at this point.. but I know I made this decision for a reason and I just need to stick with it!!

For my band back in 2012 I had to do one day and drink that awful stuff. This week long liquids thing is not fun. But here’s to all the Oct 1 sleevers!!! Just today to get through!!

Angie we got this!!!! Keep in touch tomorrow!! I’ll DM you my number :) what time do you go in?

I’m sooo sick of drinking period. I’d die for pizza!!

@crankymagpie I’m not allowed soup :( just broth

The shakes themselves taste ok.. I’m doing the Syntrax Nectar ones and there’s tons of flavors. I just don’t want to drink!!

Help!! I’m on day 4 of liquids and I cannot drink anymore! I feel terrible, like I’m going to pass out but I just can’t make myself drink the shake. What do I do??

Just go to the forum list, click a topic and then there’s a plus sign on the bottom right..

@clara1900 I’m so nervous. I had the band in 2012 and removed in 2015 so the pain isn’t making me nervous but I’m miserable in liquids. I’m so hungry! I’ve only gotten in one protein shake today and it’s 5pm.. I just can’t get them down.

Congrats Clara!!!!! Surgery buddies?!

I hear you! I’m Oct 1 as well and just the liquid diet prep is making me a nervous wreck for life after.

Try Syntax Nectar Lattes line.. tastes like the real thing!!!!

Hey all! I went shopping yesterday and started liquids today. I’m starving!!! I’ve barely gotten one protein shake in today because work is so busy and I just feel awful. Everyone just says keep drinking but I’m not thirsty!! Help :(

I’m a wreck. I’m supposed to start liquids today and I’m totally unprepared. I had my brothers wedding this past weekend so was so busy with that that I had no time for anything else. I guess I can start tomorrow but am just dreading it. I am now rethinking the whole surgery because I’m so scared. Just having an overall bad time.

Oh no, I hope you feel better soon!!! Side note, I tried Syntax Nectar for the first time and loved the coffee flavor. It wasn’t too sweet and tasted just like my lattes that I’ll be missing lol
