This liquid diet ain't no joke!!!

My husband had his VSG and hiatal hernia repair yesterday mornign at 8:00 a.m. and he is doing great - not too much pain, no nausea. I am on my way to visit him, pop over to another bldg for my own 4 hour pre-op & consent appointment. 13 days and counting for my surgery.

My Dr. only wants Clear Liquids the day before - I think he has us do more of a low fat Atkins approach for 2 -3 weeks prior. 4 shakes and lean Protein with a low carb veggie dinner etc.

I'm May 14th so it looks like we will all be going through this together!

I am May 14th, too. There is a boat load of surgeries during May 14-15.

That's great that you're not nervous. I'm curious how they plan the pre-surgery prep stuff when you have to fly to get there, because my bowel prep is the day before my surgery. Are you on Water only, or fasting?[

I did clear liquids starting 3 days before my flight and did the finishing round of my bowel prep yesterday. I had a class this morning and I actually have only had water today. I didn't want to be using the restroom on the plane.

My surgery is May 25th. I'm on day 4 of 14 of the pre-op diet. I am required to consume 4 nutritional supplements daily (protein-enriched shakes, Soups, or bars). I can also have 4 oz of Protein a day and any green vegetable except peas. I've been doing a shake for Breakfast and lunch, a bar as a snack, and Soup for dinner with 4 oz of chicken. So far, it's going well and I've lost 7 pounds! I hope I can make it 10 more days. I'm tired the cream of chicken soup already

Hey May Sleevers!

How's the post op recovery going?

[NJsharon 119]

Just a plug for our May 2012 Sleevers 'secret' Facebook group! We are 35 members strong now & going great!

If you were or are going to be sleeved in May then just friend me on Facebook & I will add you to the secret group.

Search for Sharon Ivanauskas.

It is a 'secret' group, which means nobody can see the group, nobody can see who is in the group & nobody can see our posts!

I know some people haven't told everyone on facebook, so that is why I made the group secret.

My post-op recovery has been fantastic. Can't complain at all. I have had no pain meds since I left the hospital, no gas, just smooth sailing really.

Just started adding in Protein Drinks yesterday, so that is my little bit of excitement right now! LOL

That's awesome Sharon. You are about a week ahead of me. I was sleeved on Thursday, May 17th.

1st day post-op (5/18/2012): I was really sore and in pain.

2nd day post-op (5/19/2012): I was feeling better and still extremely sore. Walked every hour

3rd day post-op ( 5/20/2012): Gas pains kicked in on my left shoulder. Continued to walk and swing my arms.

4th day post-op (5/21/2012): Gas pains are gone, not as sore and no pain.

Thinking about driving to the store. :wub:
