I had one diagnosed a few months before my surgery. and they suck. But they have to fix it when doing surgery since your stomach is being herniated. Just bear it hopefully after surgery you will feel 100x better good luck and much love

Our surgeon will have us on 21 days of clear liquid diet. I wish it could be only 7. I am not looking forward to that part of the journey but this too shall pass. LOL.

are you mixing Protein Powder with your Clear Liquids? ?

So Ive been kindve stubborn and gently bending over more often than i should and finally this morning it feels like my abdomen muscles have had enough. Im a little worried i pulled something and was wondering if anyone had advice to get through my daily tasks without a bunch of help im pretty much home alone. Also reaching up high is a problem for me because im extremely short..

I had surgery on Monday and all of the sudden broth is repulsive to me as well. I like the SF pop cycles on this stage. My clear liquid stage is pretty strict too.

See i just cant take anymore cold stuff, I've just avoided popsicles lol. Ive eaten room temp Jello to avoid the cold. I think im going to try strained cream of mushroom (which is a recommendation in my nutrition book)

So my specific doctor/nutritionist has told me to be on clear liquid diet (no Protein powders) for a whole 7 days after my surgery. Im on day 5 and slowly the hunger is eating at me. My diet is pretty much a f*ck ton of sugar free crystal light, Jello, and the occasional strained chicken and noodle Soup. (and water) tonight its finally getting to me. Ive experienced mild dumping after the strained chicken and noodle soup, but honestly im willing to risk the dumping for at least a sip of my favorite Atkins Protein Drink. Any tips? (btw i cannot stomach broth it makes me wanna vomit)

Something similar happened to me. I’m on birth control, but during surgery, whatever medication they used interfered with it. I had to sign a paper acknowledging this. Two days post-op, my period came. Then, out of the blue, two weeks later, it was back again. My surgeon told me I couldn’t start taking birth control again until I was 30 days post-op to prevent blood clots. The medication plus the 30-day hiatus messed with my whole system. I’m now 7 months post-op and, unfortunately, my periods are still wonky.

Thats odd, i was ordered to stop taking my Birth Control 2 weeks before surgery when i started my liquid diet. But as we all know every surgeon/doctor/nutritionist is different

I am formerly the Human Heater and im 5 days post op laying on the couch with shirt jacket and 3 blankets.. AND i live in goddamn Texas. I used to envy my friends who were always cold cause i was always sweating and now i cant get warm to save my life!

Be careful Hannah Protein helps your body heal. I think it’s the only think consistent across the board.

Im following my nutritionists orders, i start Protein liquids on Sunday. Im not over exerting myself cause i know i dont have the fuel in my body. Im walking enough to get gas out and digest and thats about it.

I'm almost 5 days out, feeling fantastic on my no sugar juice and broth only. I still somehow have energy even with pretty much no Protein intake. Wishing this bloating and inflammation would go down. But overall NO REGRETS

I had something similar-ish happen. I just got my surgery done on Saturday the 15th. I have been on birth control for 5 years. and was only two weeks out from my last period and right after the surgery i started my period, so there definitely is a correlation somewhere in there.

Maybe you should call them and just fess up. I wouldn't want to spend all that money on flights for them to not be able to do it.

I have surgery in 3 days. In short Im having surgery at Bariatricpal MX (Mexico) I didnt have any of the tests and classes anyone else had. Im on my 14 day liquid diet, Im super stressed and stopped smoking cigarettes 6 months ago. But in short i pretty much almost got a divorce Monday evening so Ive smoked like half a pack on Tuesday and now im freaking out. what if i fly all the way to San Diego, get to Tijuana and they blood test me and cant do my surgery because Im a stressed out idiot and smoked.

Oof i wish i only had a 7 day liquid diet or 24hour XD I have surgery in 3 days and have been on the liquid diet for 11 days.

I sit here drinking my normal 15g Protein Atkins. i cry silently realizing these are the only edible Protein Shake i like and they have too much fat.. Im on preop diet and now i feel like ive f*cked up royally. Surgery is in 3 days...

Ive only lost 5lbs at a week of preop diet but i am also small (4'10")

So I feel fantastic and I'm on day 7 of 14 of my liquid diet but I think I might be ingesting a few too many carbs.-.

Thanks I'm trying to study for tests and finals and my head is killing me i just got an abcess removed and had stitches on friday so i cant take blood thinners >.> hoping my headache subsides soon thanks for being honest. I know its going to be bad mentally for me for awhile but it cant be worse than what i already deal with lol.

Its nice to see other younger sleevers! Im 20, and starting liquid diet today. How did the whole process affect your mental state? Also are you on any medications for Anxiety? (I am and wondering how this will affect how my medication and coping) Im glad youre over the crazy part of your surgery and best wishes going forward

2 weeks away from my surgery! Starting liquid preop diet today

Okay so i havent had my sleeve yet, but about 2 months ago i had a huge bout with acid reflux and found out i have a huge hietal hernia and 2 rakes in my throat. I was prescribed a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) Since then I have been amazing and this is coming from severe acid reflux for the last 3 years. Also just avoid certain foods and a pillow to help prop you up at night, for the sore throat and swallowing issues you can also ask about Sulfacrate/Carafate it coats your throat and makes it easier to eat and drink. Best of luck

Mine started 18 months after surgery, but my hiatal hernia redeveloped, so I think that's why.

I have a hietal hernia that is being fixed during my surgery, Im already on a PPI, how did it feel when your hernia redeveloped?

You are so beautifullll, congrats on your amazing results. I neeeeded this postivity this morning with a few weeks of classes left before my surgery.

Much Love

Thank you all so much! I am well medicated at the moment just stressed out with school i leave the day after my finals finish. My coping mechanisms that are healthy are pretty much nonexistent. But i'm hoping i will figure it out Trying to focus on keeping my GPA whilst in the midst of starting my pre-op diet and making sure all my travel plans are in order is definitely hiking my anxiety up to 11 but i'm really glad i found these forums.
