Hey everybody. I'm only two days post-op, but still haven't drank not even a full cup of Water. It makes me nauseous. I remember reading on a lapband site that I can have sugar free Popsicles just once a day. Anyone else heard of this?

Yes! sugar free pops have been a favorite of mine. I would also recommend something hot like tea or broth!

Don't get dehydrated! If all you can get down is Popsicles, go for it! Call your doc before you have to be put on I.V. Fluids. You can go along time without food but you need water!

Popcicles were a lifesaver for me for the first 2 days postop. I couldn't get a thing down besides popcicles.

I constantly had a Popsicle in my mouth the first few days. They kept me hydrated and sane! I'm a big advocate for sugar free Popsicles.

Popsicles was my best friend. I was so burnt out on broths and Jello I just enjoy Popsicles and crystal light lemonade. Hang in there you can do this

I think Edy's sf Popsicles are the best. A few more calories but they taste so much better.

Must try. The ones I bought today were not delish but it wasn't broth :) so they tasted great to me since I haven't eaten in two days.

I didn't drink much of anything the first 3 days. I didn't have an appetite either. By the 4th day I was drinking more..just keep that Water bottle(or cup) in your hand and take little sips. Good luck on your journey! :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
