Made it my doctor does no allow any liquids, ice chip till tomorrow. Meany

be okay :-) if they give you the sticks with the Water you can rub it around inside your mouth it'll keep your mouth moist. I couldn't have ice chips or anything until after my upper G.I.

My surgery date was October 1st. Its nice to read all the positive comments. I feel great! I can see my body shrinking. I have lost 11 pounds since my surgery date. Just ate a weight watchers fudge popsicle I hope it dont make me sick. I am looking forward to Oct 20 thats when I will get to introduce more food. I currently get 5 foods, cottage cheese, yogurt, Beans, sf pudding & egg white. I have not tried an egg yet. My NUT said if anything bothers me it will be the egg. So I am scared. Getting my Water & a 50 gram Protein Shake in daily. Thank you for starting this thread.

my leak test isnot till morning and they even said no swabs. Though big relief, I remembered I had brought my biotene samples toothpaste, mouth tinse, they allowed me to use those.

Also got my first lap in after a nightmare fairst attempt with an inexperienced tech, I got the nurse and got it done.

My surgery was October 1st, I feel great! I've lost 12 pounds so far. I don't feel any thinner yet. I started pureed food today.Omg felt like I had real food finally.

Went to the movies tonight. Thought about all that popcorn, pop, candy etc...on the way there. There were a couple of people in a row beside us eating away. I thought to myself that used to be me. I took in my bottle Water & sipped away. I can do this life is not all about food.

LisaCO, you can do it. I am just 3 weeks post op, and I went to the movies Sunday. Usually I raise the arm rest to be more comfortable...not Sunday night. Just that little thing made me glad I had surgery. ????????

Tonight was my first night without meds. No pain but no sleep either. Hoping this is not the beginning of an insomnia bout.

Heading for my leak test then I finally have fluids. Not a drop sine Monday, hopefully it will gone down smoothly.

ETA no leak test yet, guess I was misinformed, I am not first. And they have a 10 to do today. Hope I am not last.

I was the first to have one leak test yesterday but when I finally got my tray I didn't really eat anything I drink like half of the 24 g Protein shot and a couple sips of juice and some sips of Water

I had to drink this gross Water soluable stuff. They take you to X Ray to view it go down the pouch.
