It's interesting to see everyone's differences in post op diet . I'm craving lo mein but still haven't eaten anything . I need more than Clear Liquids / Protein Shakes though and seem to be tolerating them pretty well . Doctor said if I still find myself hungry after the shakes I can try some yogurt . Was thinking of grabbing some yogurt and maybe some cream of wheat if I don't make it too thick .

It gets better FAST but the first few days are the worst. Did they say you had to take liquid tylenol or can you take pills? The liquid is so gross. That would have made me puke for sure! Try to keep getting up and moving SLOWLY just a little bit every hour or so when you're awake. Hang in there!

I am on liquid Tylenol 🤢 I have been walking a lot still trying to drink baby sips and even drove down the block ( big mistake lol I won't be doing that again for a week or so) . I am hoping it gets a little better. I did make the Protein Shake and was able to easily take 4-5 sips, 1 every 10 minutes . Today I'll try again . It's been so rough ! Thank you for your kind words !🥰

Having such a hard time since my VSG 2 days ago ... feeling pain everytime I take a baby sip of Water or Gatorade ... was supposed to start up on shakes again today but just couldn't bring myself to do it . No vomiting yet but came pretty close with liquid Tylenol and water . Couldn't even take my whole dose . Any tips on how to make it easier ? The pain I know isn't gas it's from my stomach not being there ... but f**k it hurts so bad . It rises to my chest and all over my abdomen . How have you guys gotten through ?

The Doc will smell it on your breath and cancel your surgery.

It is really, really, really (3 reallys so you now it's really, really, really) important to follow your surgeons plan.

I will tell you people, not known to me personally, have done as you wish to do and gotten away with the heinous crime.

In fact, I can't recall a person caught out in such a nefarious deed. I don't actually think the surgeon could tell, to be honest.

But, no, don't do it. You're building character here. Even though not a soul now living could tell.

But, follow your surgeons instructions.

Enjoy the chicken,

Wow, I love u.

Have my gastric sleeve surgery scheduled for October 25, I lost over 50 pounds dieting up until this point . Just started my 2 week pre op liquid diet . I'm am obsessing over having penne vodka with chicken ONE more time before it's time . Surgery 11 days away . Will ONE meal truly affect me 11 days from now if it's the ONE and ONLY time ? Thoughts ? I'm dying over here 😩😩😩

Surgery scheduled 10/25

on day 3 of my pre op liquid diet and really going crazy craving Pasta. I feel like if I get it out of my system I will be fine the rest of the time but am scared if I eat it today it will affect me 11 days from now . Any input on a one time cheat during that pre op liquid only window?
