I'm on day 5 of preop liquid only. I get sick of the shakes but been doing ok. Day 1 and 2 were the hardest so far. Day 3 4 were good now today I find myself really hungry. I too have been making home made broth and getting a few restaurants strain broth for me. Those seem to be best. Surgery on the 14th and I can't wait!!

That's wonderful to hear!! I went to GNC today and bought a 20oz bottle of blue rasberry Isopure Protein drink...surprisingly it tastes great and has 40g of protein so old definitely be buying them before Wednesday when I go in!!!

Wow Jennifer!!! Good for u!!!!!!! How do u feel??? Do u have a drain??? Is it weird to see??

[jennifer615 8]

No drain... Four incision points. Dr also found a hernia which he repaired. Incision points are sore but not much internal pain to speak of

I was sleeved on the 1st and am doing great! I was out patient. Went to the hotel 4 hours after surgery. Slept a lot that evening, but made myself walk to get the gas out. Saturday I only took 1 pain pill, but probably could have gotten away with just a Tylenol. Walked that day too. It was a harder day in that I couldn't get my Protein shakes down and probably only 4 oz of Water. Called my surgeon and he told me to try Popsicles and Powerade zero. Those were the ticket! sugar free Popsicles work great! Sunday, I walked the mall and felt great! Today I drove my 4 hour drive home and it made my belly button a bit sore, but not bad. I got 30 oz of Protein in along with about 20 oz of liquid. So, it's been easier every day! I also went to Denny's and had them strain their vegetable beef Soup and just sipped on that and also their chicken Soup on another day. That was heaven! I'm super happy and excited for my new life. Down 14 pounds since the beginning of my pre op diet. Yay! Good luck, you March Sleevers!

WOW!! You you're doing great! I hope I'm just like you! I will tell Dr U hello.
