My surgeon requires a two day clear liquid diet but I started today.

Is crystal light tea considered a clear liquid?

I am thinking that is not a good choice due to the caffeine in tea and the aspartame and sucralose. What about the other flavors of crystal light?

I am excited and nervous!! Any tips/advise is much appreciated!

Anyone else getting sleeved Monday?

Crystal light is probably okay but check with your doctor or nutritionist about the tea. Many times they want patient's off of caffeine. Diluted apple juice (at least 50%) might be a safer alternative.

Congrats on a successful surgery. I read a lot about people doing Water with the Protein Powder. Kills two birds with one stone

Take it slow. As the anesthesia and pain meds wear off you'll be more awake. However make the best of when you are awake and walk. When you're not walking, sip. Isopure or Water, get your fluids and Protein in.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
