I know what u mean ! I have at start my clear liquid today and my potassium pills too. So are you too?

I'm having surgery Monday September 15th as well. So excited can't wait for the day to come. A little nervous but I know everything is going to be ok. I was suppose to start my liquid diet today but I started it yesterday just to get my body prepared a day early..I was so grouchy..lol..but good luck to you all..we should keep in touch and go through yes change together :)

Yes we should keep in touch . Now that I know that someone else is the same day I actually feel better more at ease. I know everything will be ok. Where r u from? Im in West Covina ca?

Dr didn't require a preop diet but wanted patients to lose 10 pounds. I am doing mostly liquid and Greek yogurt. Please keep this thread rolling. Makes me feel better knowing there are others that are in the same exact "boat".

@@alexsisv ok, my dr had me do liquid two weeks and clear liquid 2 days. Yes I was every grouchy for the first 5 days , very hungry , head ache and like the commercial (snickers ) I wasn't myself when I'm hungry. But I got accustom to it . But I still feel some hunger . I've lost 10lbs alone on this two week . Don't know if it's just water weight I lost because my clothes don't feel it. But sure can't wait for my clothes to start feeling it !!! ????

Can't wait for an update from you!

Ok 3rd day post op. I'm having trouble getting all that liquid in . I'm having gas pain that is just horrible. I'm walking as dr ordered. My stomach keeps gargling and as soon as I sip on water I have to burp. I have no incision pains haven't had to take any pain meds. As soon as I get a gas pain I start walking around the house that works. I do feel some pressure on the rip gastric area but I herd that is normal. I have a Jackson prat which collects fluid or blood from the inside . I'm taking out about 15ml 3x a day. Feeling good. Can't wait to get to the gym!

I made it thru too, Friends. Sleeved on 9/15. 1st day was great because of the drugs, 2nd I fought big time nausea and felt so sick. 3rd day was massive headaches. Today I am much better. Little sips of liquids and started shakes.. up to about 25 oz. So far. Bubbles in tummy feel uncomfortable as they come up. No pain today and no nausea. .. I also had a surprise hernia repair. Glad to see others checking in from the big 9/15 day. Anyone noticing sensitivity to smell? Everything smells really strong to me...
