Started my pre-op liquid diet today for surgery next Friday the 19th. I also have a cold kicking my butt so it hasn't been pleasant for today! I am going to print a blank calendar and sketch out my clinic's meal plan for afterward. The information is swimming in my head and I need to see it clearly mapped out for me!

I also had Dr Kim & was on the 2nd. Yes! The first 24 hours were the worst, the rest has been a breeze for me thank goodness. I'm on the full liquids till the 22 & I'm going with the "if it goes through a strainer" I'm eating it. Do you add Protein to your Soups? I just made cream of mushroom with roasted garlic & added a scoop of unflavored Unjury protein, helps bulk it up a little. I've been drinking tons of crystal light green tea & peach tea. I might be starting to slosh when I walk :/

On another note...we have to do another swallow test?? Ugh!

Yes but only the barium swallow which is nothing compared to what we did at the hospital. I am not drinking fluids like I should be..never been much of a Water drinker. I set a timer on my phone to remind me.....need to push those fluids.

Hello all. I just came home today from the hospital after being sleeved on Monday. All went well and I feel great but the "head hunger"has set in today. I am getting in my liquids and trying to distract myself. Any and all advice welcomed.

Are you getting in the full 64 oz and your Protein? I came home today too and there's no way I can get in all of my protein right now. I'm close to getting all of my fluids in.

Yes this test was MUCH better! I feel so much better that the staples are out. Can't wait to sleep on my sides & not worry about them tonight.
