How is that possible if the gas is in the cavity of the body and not in the intestines?

Starting the 30th my liquid diet to be ready on Jan 3rd.
Good vibes to all of you!

I just had my Psych Evaluation, what a joke. The email said to prepare a quiet area for 1 hour. The teleconference was not more than 5 minutes. The therapist said they need the other 55 minutes to write up your report. All she did was ask me questions. I guess it's just a formality.

I’ve always been overweight, since childhood!! So never met any women who wanted to date me on an intimate level. I’m going for sleeve on March 24th and really hoping that weight loss will help in the dating department!! Do people find they have better luck dating and meeting people after weight loss??

I am scheduled for VSG Jan 5 in Decatur, Texas.

I would start with smaller portions so if you're eating 4 oz cut down to 2-3oz to see how your stomach reacts

I start my liquid diet as my nutritionist puts it liquid deliciousness ?? on Jan 4th I think I am more worried about that then the surgery itself. I just keep saying to myself it’s going to be worth it it’s going to be worth it. I wish I just could stay home for those 2 weeks lol.

Just remember to keep your eye on the prize. You’ve got this.

Trying to enjoy my Swanson bone broth chicken flavor. I cleared out Walmart's shelf this weekend and got my green teas in all flavors

I am so ready to get started. I have family coming into town for Christmas. So I am going to enjoy myself and enjoy the family time. I am actually going to start my full liquid diet January 1,22. I figure why wait 4 days. I’m just going to do it. I am trying out different shakes, yogurts, and puddings now. I am very texture oriented. So this will be interesting.
For those who work… how much time are you planning on taking off for recovery?

Folks - I just want to send a small positive vibe out into the universe - I am on day 5 of my liquid pre op diet and I have to say, I feel decent and honestly this is not *that* bad. I swear!
I was massively dreading this. I was worried I would be nonstop hungry for two weeks and angry at the world. However, I got into a routine of shake - broth - jello/popsicle that seems to be working to manage the hunger. Am I hungry? Yes. Is it constant? No. (Could I eat any solid form of food right now? Yes. Will I? No.)
I "eat" 4 times a day: breakfast, lunch, "happy hour" (oh the irony), and dinner. I have a shake at each meal and broth and/or jello. I have tried many broths and I honestly prefer the old fashioned boullion cubes or ramen noodle broth packet over anything fancy like bone broth. I am having 800-900 calories a day and I am not face down in the bed like I thought I would be. I even adulted at work today. ?
Just want to send this note because the two week liquid preop was looming so large in my mind before I actually started doing it. Like many things, the dread was worse than just doing the dreaded thing.
