You should check with your surgeon's office about clear liquids. I've seen everything from Water, to broth, to Jello on liquid lists. GOOD LUCK! :)

My doc's written instructions say anything that is semi clear - like chicken or beef broth (nothing with chunks or even little seasoning particles) - is considered a clear liquid. Basically if you can run it through a strainer, it's okay. For the 1st week I was allowed clear liquids and all the Protein Shakes I wanted.

Good luck to you! Hope all goes well. Can't wait to hear how you are doing. I'm right behind you... I'm on the 5th.

I too am being sleeved on the 5th, and your number in your name is my oldest daughters birthday :-)

Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing as soon as you can. My bag had been packed since December.

Clear liquids are tea, Water, chicken broth etc.

They might be difficult. Do not worry. If you can only get 1/4 teaspoon in at a time ... just have a 1/4 teaspoon at a time.

IT WILL GET BETTER every day.

Dont worry if you can't sleep Tuesday night. You WILL sleep all day Wednesday

Good Luck/

Don't be shy about asking for pain meds.

They will want to know when you fart. Enjoy it. Probably the only time in your life people WANT you to fart!

Yay, happy dance for ya! At the hospital they will let you know what you can have the clear menu is what I was put on. And I found the popscicles a big treat. The tray of food took over an hour to finish and just when you do finish your meals you want to fall asleep and the nurse pop in with pain medication. So it's all good!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
