What makes it tough to get fluids in? I've seen this a lot. Is your sleeve full?

I think it's just the swelling that comes with surgery. Right now I can take as much of a drink to wet my thirst down my stomach at one time. I heard it would be difficult the first week.

My original surgery date was 2/5 so I did the preop diet in January. Then I didn't get cleared by the anesthesiologist because he wanted me to do a sleep study to check for sleep apnea, which I have. That "sleep study" took over a month so I stopped the preop diet and continued my food funeral lol. Then I was scheduled for March 19, but I had a cold. Was sent home from the OR. Then they rescheduled me for 4/2. Honestly I was fed up with the back and forth preop diet so I didn't follow it. I ate less and ate healthier but didn't follow it. I was put on Clear Liquids 48 hrs before surgery and that I followed

I am now 6 days postop and am finally feeling better, and already down10. I am struggling with my mental demons with food, but am terrified of the dumping syndrome so I won't even think of veering off in any way. I am pretty happy and just keep looking forward to Stage 2. One week down, one week to go to be moved forward. I can do this. WE can do this!!!

what have you been eating so far ? i need ideas ? my surgery date is 4/23 and i start my liquid diet on 4/10

I am on day 7 pre op. It's hard. Doing better today because I am busy. Good luck to you. My pre op diet is for 14 days. liquids. I have cheated a few times. Since I started on the 31st of March I have lost 7 pounds. 7 pounds in 6 days! Surgery date is 4/14/14

I have been drinking a lot of broth. Eating Popsicles, pudding, and Jello (sugar free). Boost low carb high Protein. Cheated a few times. But never eat beef or pork. I did veggie burgers and veggie cheese a few times.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
