Hi March Sleevers! My surgery is March 31st, and I'm not doing so great on my liquid pre-op diet! I think the fact that my surgeon said I'm on the low-end bmi didn't give me the urgency to do it right! He kinda made it sound like it would be good to lose some weight, but there was no urgency in his voice. So, now I have 10 days to hunker down and get serious. I've been averaging two shakes a day, and by dinner I gag at the thought of ANOTHER Bariatric Advantage banana or vanilla shake, and I usually love them!! OK, so starting tomorrow, NO MORE EXCUSES! Best of luck to my fellow pre-oppers....

That's awesome, Michelle! I'm getting sleeved on March 31st, and the horror stories of vomiting and pain scare me, but I'm praying I'll be one of the lucky ones, like you, and not go through all of that!!!

The worse issue for me is the gas release I've had, but it's all good now. Other than that, no nausea, no vomiting, none of that bad stuff. I'm sure to intake 1 ounce of Water within a 15 min time period. The scale I have shows my water % also, I'm right on my zone :-)

Home finally, feeling great, lots of fluids in and day 2 of my Clear Liquids. I'm also getting about 30-40 mins of walking in each day too.

The only thing that freaks me out is I never feel hunger... I've had nothing but Water or enhanced water with Protein & Fiber from Wal-Mart but I'm feeling fine.

So glad for you!! I hope to do half as good???? where did you get the water enhancement at Walmart? I looked in food and pharmacy and didn't see it...what does it come in.

I found it in the aisle with all the other Water Enhancer ad ins. It's in a tan box, 2 flavors. strawberry banana, orange and mango peach.

Great stuff there.

Hey all. Im on my 3rd day post op. I feel somewhat better. The trapped gas is the most pain ive ever felt! I tried using gas x strips but am not sure if they helped or not. I 've. Got 6 small, and i mean small incisions and are healing up nicely. I can definitely feel when the Fluid hits my new pouch and it dont take much for me to realize im full. Ill be curious to see how much weight ill loose in the coming months. Well, good luck to you all!

Gasx won't help with post surgical gas. That gas they punp inside you to have room to work. Sometimes bubbles hide behind organs and just have to dissolve. Gasx helps stomach gas if you overeat or eat something disagreeable. Try getting someone to karate chop your upper back and shoulders, and keep moving.

My gas was horrible before I had a bite of real food. I tried the gas x strips last night & I throw them right up. Today blended cream of mushroom Soup & Decaf ice tea have been good today. Just not at the same time lol! Also my heating pad has been a lifesaver!

      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.

      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!!
