Youre not suppose to have ANY liquids after midnight on Sunday. But during the day you can have the Clear Liquids. I had Jello all day. Ill be a week post op on monday...but be prepared to not have ANY Water after your surgery. They wont let you drink anything until you've.had an.upper gi to test for openings ...also the drink they make you take three times taste so nasty....bearable...but nasty....they'll probably offer you lemon swabs for your dry mouth....TAKE IT. You wont regret that....it really helps..

I had mine on Monday the 18th too!

June 1st. It's been a rocky road since and I'm hoping and praying it gets better. :)

I'll say a prayer for you as well! I was very overwhelmed yesterday, but I felt better this morning. I think that things will get a little better each day...

Good luck!

Good luck GIJane, and Little bits every day is a little different than the day before that's for darn sure. Keeping you in my prayers. Each day does get a little easier.

I am actually very tired out today and probably more sore today than I have been in a few days. Wednesday can't seem to get here fast enough because I have questions for the surgeon, and I'm really hoping to advance to pureed food. I really am praying they don't make me wait another two weeks. It's not that I'm hungry, it's that I want to get more Protein in and the shakes are not cutting it for me still.

June 29th. Mt. Sinai in NYC.

Prayers are very welcome. I'm scared of the irreversible changes coming.

Prayers are coming your way. I am the day before you. I am scared to, BUT I am scared more of living the rest of my life dealing with obesity. I think we will be fine!

Hey Juners,

How many calories are you taking in each day? The first week I was about 300 and now I have moved up to 500+ during week two. Is this too much?

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
