I am scheduled for Wednesday at 8 am. I have finished 6 days of liquids and feel drained. I have no cravings and am concered about tomorrow's clear liquid day and the next two weeks. I chewed some ice chips tonight and that helped. Any other suggestions as I am getting nervous about my surgery. Help

i was super nervous right before, did not get any sleep the night before. yes the Clear Liquids suck, but the band is worth it to me. the 2 weeks after surgery is called "banders hell". i was so happy when i could have Soup. lol! tasted fantastic. i would not trade this band for anything. it is my tool to help me.

Cant help but think if 2 weeks AFTeR surgery are banders hell then the 2 week liquid diet leading to it must be the road to hell!

Ready to go, I am with you. Although my prediet was not completely liquid, it was mainly so. Today has not been as hard as I thought on Clear Liquids, maybe it is just the excitement of knowing tomorrow is surgery day is taking care of that. I just had some SF Jello when I was getting a bit hungry after drinking 4 oz of juice, so I feel better. Had done fine until the carbs in the juice. Those carbs can be wickedly evil little hunger drivers. Hope we both have a good day tomorrow and come back to post as official bandsters afterward.

Well I did it and got home this morning. I feel lost. Moving plenty so gas is slowly disappearing. I am not interested in eating anything. I had a Protein Drink this afternoon and will have another one tonight. I had Soup and an ice this morning at the hospital so I guess looking back, I did ok on my first day of liquids after. Can believe that that part is all over. The research, classes, tests surgery all done. Now I try to sleep and see how I feel tomorrow.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
