I have the same question. You figured it out! Help

I am experiencing the same thing. My nutritionist says I should be eating every three hours. Even if I drink plenty of fluids, two hours later my stomach is feeling empty. Not sure what to do.

Instead of chicken broth I did a chicken Bouillon square in hot Water. Tastes soooo much better. Lifesaver

Yay that’s great. I was sleeved 12/10. I probably felt good after the 18th. Never had nausea either. Moved into mushy foods (pureed) with no issue. Hoping it gets better for us all.

I had the same protein aversion. My tip, fill a cup halfway with ice and Water, then fill the rest with the protein water. It’s not a super high amount but it helped my weakness and I cold actually drink it. I had my surgery 12/10. I have weak days and normal days. I realize that if I consume half a Protein Shake within half hour of waking I’ll have a better day. This after I was able to actually drink the shakes

Sitting in my hospital bed post op VSG today. Lots of tummy pain initially. Was given dilaudid and it helped immensely. After walking to the bathroom I was authorized for my X-ray confirmation. It was so cool to see my little baby stomach on the screen after taking a shot of contrast. It’s been 12 hours, pain is being managed with acetaminophen well enough. Started my liquids which I really have to make an effort to take down. 1 sip at a time is my motto. Hoping all goes well for everyone here.

Are you sure it’s still just clear and not full liquids. I know you can have a few weeks of clear ahead of surgery but usually a week after surgery you move to Full liquids

Same as yours. How you feeling Angelina? Today was the best day so far. Thicker liquids going down better. Still get full after just a few sips. Not much pain except for hiccups. sleep is non existent and stitches are itchy. I haven’t taken off the little bandaids they put in them. Every day is a little better

I really need to make an effort to make protein goals too. I’m doing ok on the general liquid goals. I went to the mall yesterday and certain smells made me want food but it wasn’t physical just smells triggering cravings. Having a sugar free lemonade to sip on really helped.

Surgery is tomorrow morning. So nervous out if nowhere. This is a huge change for the body. I’m praying all goes well and that like LASIK it will be one of the best decisions of my life.

My doctor said it was about the liver, I have a verified fatty liver via CT scan and enzyme levels (previously done by primary).
I’m required to do a 10 day preop liquid diet. I have a coworker who is about 150 pounds heavier than me and she had to do a much longer liquid diet preop. They’re hope was significant weight loss and liver shrinkage.

My other surgery date twin 🙌. Good luck!

My surgery date is Dec 3rd. It's soooo close. liquid diet for 2 weeks. Not loving it. I'm having the sleeve + single switch + hiatal hernia repair. EEEEEK.
I should be an old hand at surgery these days.
A loooooong time ago - I lost 380lbs w/diet and exercise. I was staying steady at 140-150lbs. So I had a Tummy Tuck & arm flap removal (Brachioplasty). Then I started yo-yo'ing and then I lost my Mom to covid last December. I've gained soooo much since then.
My Mom was in the hospital - just days before we lost her - submitting my info to Blossom Bariatrics in Vegas for gastric sleeve. She wanted me to do this because she knew I was happier and healthier when I was thin. So here I am. Because she was right.
I've also had my gallbladder removed, my right hip was replaced 4 years ago. My left hip was replaced 2 years ago.
So I shouldn't be worried about this. But, eeeeeek. I'm not a fan of needles, etc.
I just hope I can be discharged from the hospital in one day. Also, I'm in Raleigh, NC.

I don’t have FB anymore - it was causing me to much stress and anxiety during the elections so I scrapped it lol

I’m scheduled for GSV on Dec 1st!

Hi everyone! This is my first post - my bypass surgery is scheduled for Friday, December 2nd in Pittsburgh, and I start Clear Liquids Sunday night. I haven’t told many people about my surgery because I don’t want their uninformed opinions. I was terrified for a long time, but I’m starting to get a little excited. Good luck to everyone ❤️
