Today is day 1 of pre op clear liquid diet. Went well for the most part. Surgery is Dec 29th and can't wait! Anyone else out there on the same day?

Good luck!!

Thanks love @@Big_Mama! I'm waiting to be discharged now. Hope all continues to go well for all of us. Take it easy!

I'm feeling fantastic! I ended up having my surgery at 2p on the 29th. I slept most of the rest of the day and yesterday but I managed to get up and do some walking yesterday too. Just got my IV out which is great so I don't feel so restricted. I had a little nausea after surgery but I feel fine now. I'm so glad to be on the other side of it now. Slow sipping some gatorade. It's strange not to feel hungry. I don't have any pain either. I had a little gas pain in my left shoulder yesterday but it's gone now. Whoohoo! They're taking good care of me here in Tijuana. I hope everyone else is doing well too.

I had a leak test done yesterday. It put my nerves at ease because i got to see the liquid go down my throat and into my new stomach on the screen. It's so small now!

I had an easy time on the pre-op. I had to do 2 weeks, liquid only. I chose GNC's Lean 25 and I think very highly of those protein shakes. No aftertaste and they satiated my hunger. I celebrated Christmas in Louisiana while the family was enjoying some really good eats. I stuck to my diet! I was sleeved yesterday, 12/30.

My date is the 30th. Luckily my liquid diet is only seven days! Good luck!

Kimdlawson06: how are you doing?! Hope it went perfectly!

I had my surgery on the 29th. My Dr found a hiatal hernia which he repaired during the sleeve surgery. I was in pain and very nauseated monday night and tuesday morning. I had a lot of dry heaving but I;m feeling much better today. I just got home today.

@@hdd55146 who did you use in Tijuana? I go next week on the 7th. Its good to hear they are taking good care of you. I've heard nothing but positive reviews from everyone I've talked to that went to Tijuana so I'm getting really excited.

Dr. Elias Ortiz and his team did my surgery and they were excellent! No complications. The staff has been super nice and helpful. I'm feeling so good that I'm even heading home a day early. I went through A Lighter Me and they've been fantastic at making sure I get where I need to go, carrying my luggage, taking me shopping and getting me some delicious broth. I highly recommend them and the medical staff.

Sorry I haven't posted. My hands have hurt bc of drips. In surgery by 930 Min morn, in recovery by 1130 in room by 1245 and up peeing and walking at 130. Never had to have pain meds until after 3 hr ride home. It KILLED me. Everything has been good except I cant get the required 96 oz of liquid in per day. Today is day 1 and I have managed 37 so far. I will do what I can today and try harder tomorrow. I have rested a good bit today and made sure to get my walks in so I don't get blood clots. Not hungry at all. Been a great thing. No nasty side effects yet either. Keep a cold damp cloth around my neck to make sure I don't get any nauseausness. So far so food. Hope everyone is doing well! Great to be on the sleeved side! Just keep repeating each day what a fellow sleeved friend told me, "tomorrow will be better than today." She is 7 mos out and 86# down and eating whatever. Hey - we got this!

That gas was killer!!! I survived though thankfully. Now ready to be on the losers bench. It is crazy not being hungry at all. I went home today. Staying on the pain meds but stopped taking nausea meds. So thankful to not be nauseated. I had a hernia repair and I have 5 incisions. One started leaking today while I was walking. The nurse had me use gauze on it. Hope everyone is doing great!!

Went into surgery at 7am on the 29th. Was aware of being in my room sometime in the afternoon. Slept most of that day, but got up to walk at 10pm. Got my catheter out and walked 5 times on the 30th. Sipped on crystal light all day. Took 2 percocet before the 1hr ride home. Still having gas pains but less every day. No more pain pills for me, they just make me more nauseous. Taking anti nausea medication every 6 hrs and it really works. Slept pretty well last night. Started on 4oz shakes today. Feeling pretty good. HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone!

Today was so much better than yesterday. Got my fluids in and wasn't as exhausted. Still doing great as far as no pain, very little gas, no nausea, etc. Incisions are itching so I know that they are healing. Just keeping on keeping on. Hope all other 29thers are good as well. Remember, tomorrow will be better than today!
