julia7665 100 Posted June 18, 2013 Had my final weigh in yesterday. Down 23 lbs since starting the south beach diet in April. Only have to go back to phase 1 of the diet until the day before surgery (6/26), then it's Clear Liquids the day before and then nothing after 12AM. Kind of relieved that I don't have to do an all Liquid Protein diet for 1-2 weeks like I've been reading a lot of you are having to do! Getting a little anxious about the surgery and leaving my 5 year old daughter for 1-2 nights. Trying to prepare her as much as I can beforehand. Thank goodness for my loving supportive husband who has been so wonderful the last few months! 2 Brenda0928 and nursesettie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ratrita 45 Posted June 18, 2013 We had the exact same procedures done. I'm drinking fine as long as I remember not to gulp. I'm ready for the full liquid diet bc I'm feeling my tummy rumble a lot. How bout you? I am on the full liquid diet right now. Hoping to start soft/smooth foods tomorrow after my post-op appointment. I feel I am ready to try real foods. What is your next food step? 1 nursesettie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brittersmom 33 Posted June 18, 2013 I was sleeved on the 11th and I've had a sharp pain on my left side since Sunday when I take a deep breath in or belch. Dr said its probably cause I'm constipated but I've had 2 bowel movements and it still hurts. Is anyone else doing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsPierre 67 Posted June 18, 2013 I got sleeved June 12' date=' I'm praying these two weeks of liquids goes by fast. I'm amazed at the pounds I'm dropping. Starting weight 241, day of surgery 233, today @ 224. Gas pains are still uncomfortable but better. Each day does get better. I'm having so much trouble getting Water in, I don't want to get dehydrated. But seems like each time I swallow anything, I can feel more gas build up and a lot of pressure over the main incision on my right side. May everyone have a speedy recovery!!![/quote'] Omgeee this is me! What are you doing for the gas build up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsPierre 67 Posted June 18, 2013 Just found that the pain meds they give us for hole causes Constipation which causes gas. If poss, take pain meds for sleep and have milk of mag on hand. My day has become brighter :0) 3 greygirl903, Brenda0928 and Newlife4me2017 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greygirl903 45 Posted June 18, 2013 PAT is tomorrow...what's that like? They told me expect to be there for a good while. I took the entire day off because I was told the same thing. I had blood work done, EKG and they got tons of family history from me, medication lists and all that stuff. I spent probably 4 hours on my PAT and then had to go back to my regular Dr. because of my blood pressure that same day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
