I am terrified! I have to have a leak test done on Monday! I am already nauseous and not holding things down very well. I am 3 weeks out! Yikes!!!

Wow why at 3 weeks? Does he think thereby be a liquid. It may be easier farther away from surgery I had such a hard time because it was the first thing I swallowed at surgery I didn't know what would happen. Just a very weird feeling,

My surgeon tested for a leak before I ever came out of surgery, but I have been having some issues with nausea and diarrhea that he is just checking to be safe. I go in on Monday morning

I had no problems at all. Needed to take a few small sips and the xray machine moved around me. Then I wanted to see what was going on so doc had me take a few more sips. The barium wasn't any worse than some of the Protein Drinks i've tried. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It was so cool to watch my sleeve in action!

I drank the barium for my pre-op test last Friday. I have had WICKED gas since then. I don't know if it was the fizzies they made me drink or the barium. My "stuff" is still coming out a lighter color.... I can't imagine having to do that AFter the sleeve!!!!!! chewbacca in the house... wawwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

It might be easier now that you're a few weeks out and the swelling is probably decreased quite a bit. I hope it goes well!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
