7days post op and im having a really hard time getting in my Protein. I hate the powder and im over the shakes. At this point im jus suffering through hoping the day where I can get protein from solid foods will come sooner than later!! Otherwise blessed to be healing up well!

I completely understand. I'm only at the end of day 4 on the pre op diet and it sucks! My surgery is on the 26th and I am so ready for it just so I won't be hungry...okay that and I'm ready to begin my new life. Good luck!

I find out tomorrow at my pre op appointment if I have to go one. I hope I don't! But if I have to, I will just be glad it's shorter than a lot of the ones I have seen :)

I did have my sleeve done on monday and I am back home this morning

It was a bit difficult at time but overall it was OK

It was only two day ago and I am feeling much better

I had my firs shack today it went through no problem

Every one is different but for me it was a good thing to stay two days at the hospital that they keep you on IV and give saline all the time to flush the system

Good luck to every on who is going through

Who all is on their liquid diet? I started mine Monday, I could have waited till today to start it, but my son is gone to camp till tomorrow, so I thought it would be easier to start it when he wasnt home and I wasnt having to cook for him. It has worked out great. I was told if you can make it thru day3 or 4, you were good. So far, so good! I can only have Clear Liquids, broth, tea or coffee with sugar free sweetener, SF popsicles, SF Jello and 1-3 Protein Drinks (EAS AdvantEDGE brand only). Then on the day before, I can only have clear liquids and have to do a colon cleanse.. :blink: Fun day that will be....lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
