Have a popsicle question....do the popsicles melt b4 u finish them since u have to go slower, or do u just let them melt and use a spoon?

I've been eating mine as I would have pre-op, although I do go a little slower. I tend to let any pieces that come off melt in my mouth before swallowing. But, I was given ice chips in the hospital post-op, so the same concepts apply!

Are you having any troubles getting fluids down? I get a weird feeling every time i take a sip

I get that same weird feeling. My doctor said it was just spasms. So he told me to take the liquid Loratab twice a day to help get the fluids down

Good luck to you! Are you required to do this pre op liquid diet? If so how has it gone for you?

Yes, I started officially on Wed, but actually started replacing one meal per day a week ago Wed and have now lost 7 pounds since then! I am lucky with my pre op diet though, I have 2 Protein Shakes per day...breakfast and lunch, then a healthy meal for dinner....meaning 4-6 oz lean meat and a veggie or fruit.I fill the gaps and growls with Water and crystal light. Tonight I had a sugar free fat free popsicle after dinner though....so far so good.

@shewin....so u freeze it and like a popsicle?... Thats a gr8 idea....thx....my date will be tues the 18th...this is most helpful....:-)

Yep freeze like like a popsickle! Glad u like my idea! My favorite flavors ened up being the ones I thought I'd hate! Coconut & grape frost. Go figure. They have tons of flavors so u might buy one in each flavor to see what u like. Good luck and let us know what ones you like. Ohhh yeah , yesterday I mixed 1/2 blue raspberry & 1/2 leomade crystal ight & now that's awesome! Turned lime green & tasted sooo refreshing!!!

July 5th.....I am having it done due to gastroperisis. I am scared! I have had some questions about what gastroperisis is. It is where your stomach Does not digest food anymore. It is a problem associated with diabetes. I also have a super pubic catheter because diabetes ruined my bladder. I also have a few other problems associated with diabetes. I also have Chron' s, FIBROMYALGIA, lupus. I've been sick for a few years and this operation will help with my quality of life.

Looking for some advice here. I woke up yesterday with an insanely hurting wisdom tooth. Hurts to swallow, can't open my mouth very wide, tooth kind of swollen. Having my surgery in 4 days. I WILL have this surgery. I'm concerned about this tooth though. Will this affect anything? I haven't been taking anything for it and I do have a dental appointment in a few weeks. This is making me nervous. Why does this have to happen now? Ugh :(

This sets u up for an increased risk of infection. I would be upfront with the surgeon so u can weigh the increased risk.

      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.
