Hi everyone! I'm a few weeks from my gastric sleeve surgery. My date is Sept 10th..(fingers crossed) I have been doing a lot of research as for what I need to buy for my liquid diet and ideas to make my shakes taste better. I already have my list for what Im bringing to the hospital. I feel like I'm missing something. Any ideas? Ive yet to buy my multi vitamins and my calcium chews. My next appt I will need to buy my shakes and begin my liquid diet. I would love to have some friends who are taking the same journey as me..someone who can relate..thanks in advance!!xoxo

Im now 4 days post op. Hoping to leave the hosp today. I had a small fever so chose to stay an extra day. Better to be safe than sorry. Right?!? Besides that I'm doing good. Hard to eat. They've been giving me hot tea' date=' jello & broth. The jello is almost to sweet, the hot tea gives me heartburn & i got sick after the chicken broth. The beef wasnt so bad. Hopefully things will look up on the food front. Plus note I love apple & crangrape juices.[/quote']

Hope you can go home today too. Sorry to hear you've had a fever. I hope you get better and can start eating soon. Good luck to you and a speedy recovery.

Thank you. We're just waiting on the doc. He was gonna let me go yesterday. So here's to hoping

Surgery is going as scheduled. Whew. Sept 23rd is just around the corner.

I have to be at the hospital at 7:15am. I am absolutely freaking out. I keep having little daydreams about just running away! I'm so scared! I hope I'm making the right decision...

I hear ya I had to make the hubby and daughter a meal..baby food for baby and then food for myself. Sometimes I would just do the shake thing to avoid smelling my delicious cooking

After 10 days of the pre-op I think my taste buds have gone on strike. Tongue feels weird no matter how much water I drink.
