My doctor gave me the the 2 week sugar free liquid diet. Protein shakes, sugar free jello, sugar free ice pops, water and crystal lite. 24 hours before surgery i am allowed to have only broth, water and crystal lite. Wish i was allowed to have solid food, at least grilled chicken and salad.

aha, very interesting. Thank you much!

Thank you! Before i begun i cut down on coffee and i hardly drink drinks with sugar in it.

Hi, so yesterday I started my pre- op liquid diet. Surgery is on Nov. 12. well, I’ve had a massive headache since yesterday. I don’t drink sugary drinks so I know that isn’t what is causing my headache. Anyone else suffer from headaches during preop liquid stage?

Thank you for posting! I go next month for a gastric sleeve.

I’m having my gastric sleeve in November 12. Not sure how long i should take off of work yet. I haven’t told anyone. I’m a private person but i know i have to say I’m taking time off off for surgery, just not sure what type i want to tell people.

Thank you! I’ll definitely be investing in a new pillow for Support now.

Thank you! Staying hydrated is a concern. I drink a lot of water now but after i just need to remember to sip, sip, sip, sip.

Thank you! Looks like I’ll finally get to binge watch some shows!

Hi, thank you so much. This does help. I’m very nervous. Best of luck to you!

Hello, what are the days and a week or two like after surgery? I’m going through my preop phase now for the sleeve and would like some better understanding on what i might expect. Thank you

Thank you all. I was only going to take a week off but i think I’ll have to take more. Did any of you tell your work you were taking leave bc of having a sleeve or did you tell them something else?

Thank you everyone, appreciate the feedback! :)

Hello, I’m currently in my pre-op phase and wanted to know how long were some of you out of work while recovering from surgery? Thanks!
