Surgery for me is Tuesday..! Ahhh I can't believe it's almost here! I'm excited and nervous

Best of luck to you Laura. I know things will go great. Keep me informed.

I'm Monday!! Good luck, I'm sure we will do great!

I'm 4 days post op and I feel better than before. My stomach is healing and does gurgle alot and gets gassy but the gas has no problem coming out .. Burping is kinda hard sometimes .. I'm not constipated either. Sorry if TMI my first check up is tomorrow

Oh yea and no nausea my liquids go down just fine ... I can drink with no problem

And WAY more than Normal or what I thought

So glad I don't have much post op problems

Sleeved last night with Dr. Elias Ortiz.a little discomfort when I woke up, but I was walking 10 minutes after They brought me to the room. I'm up this morning walk around drinking ice chips feeling good!!

They are wonderful there. He was my doctor. I was sleeved on 01/06/14. You are doing the right thing. The walking helped me to much with all the gas.

I am less than 24 hours out of surgery. I am honestly walking around, drinking Gatorade, feeling fine. Dr. Ortiz is the best. My P is funny colors,but everything else seems normal. My leak test went fine, and I'm going to the Marriott tomorrow.

I can't believe how easy this actually was.

Hi...I am a newbie. Had my surgery on Jan7th in New Jersey. I honestly didnt think it was going to be so hard. I spent 2 days in, and got re admitted for 2 more days. I am starting to get sick of full liquids. I haven't had any food since Dec 23. Had to do 2 weeks of protein shakes. I have some soreness in my stomach. But everything goes down fine. Stomach makes gurgling noises. But I feel hungry...and when I do eat I feel so full. It like you can't win! Sometimes I worry I am not getting enough. This is all so confusing to me! Does anyone know a good protein shake. So far all the ones I have tried stink! Thank you.

I'm sorry. Did u try premier protein? Feel better

I am so excited for all of us both pre and post op. I start my pre diet on Sunday. Wish me luck I am going to need it. Surgery here in Oklahoma on January 29 for me. I am excited and nervous.

I started my liquid diet on Thursday. It wasnt bad the first day. Kept myself busy today was horrid, I woke up with a bit of a migraine. . My muscles were so sore from Lord knows what and I faced "head hunger" tonight. Thats wasnt pretty but I got through it. I had the tiniest taste of some tuna that I made for son but other than that I was good.

How many shakea do u do on your diet? I have to get 5 in amd finding it impossible. I can get 4, I will manage my time better tomorrow. With the 4 day weekend its hard to keep busy. I want to lounge on the couch but then that is where the head hunger comes in. I get bored lol

Good luck on yours!! U got this! I can have sf pudding and sf jello, that saves me.

I confirmed yesterday I have to do a 2-day clear liquid diet. mines start the 25th. surgery is the 27th

We have the same date and same pre op liquid diet for two days! Good luck to you!!!

Day two, still feel great! Going to the hotel in a few hours, I'd like to do some sightseeing. Never been to mexico

I start my pre diet tomorrow. Very worried about 7 days of restricted eating followed by 3 days of liquid. Don't know if I can make it! Hubby is going to do it with me. He doesn't need it but doing it to support me. He is great.
