I have an awesome post but I'm looking to share and receive this journey with other June 1st sleevers.

How's your pre liquid diet coming along? For me it varies, sometime through out the day it's easier then it might get harder. I think the hard part is when I start cooking dinner and my mouth starts to water. After i doing some chores I just don't have any energy for the rest of the day. Starting weight 285, current weight 260/259 couldn't tell on scale.

The gas pressure is gone and I was released from hospital today. Each meal I'm only eating a few bites of sf jello and a few spoon of broath. I have to eat slow and I don't over do it.if I start feeling pressure, I stop. Each day I feel better and can eat a few more bites.

Sent me home today, I still have a ton of gas pain, no matter how much I walk. The hiccup/burps are really painful. Sipping on isopure clear and water.

I was told I needed to pass gas in order to go home and this morning finally. Try massaging the bottom part of your stomach downward, insitions should be higher on stomach.

Crazy how every program is different. I had one nurse tell me I had to pass gas too before I could leave but when the doc did rounds she said to relax because that might not happen until day 3. Sure enough, by last night things were moving.

Went through the surgery yesterday. I was in minimal pain yesterday. Today the soreness got worse. No nausea since right afterwards in recovery, but I have a good tolerance for Anestesia. 14 surgeries on grafts In my arms in a little over a year will do that. Just had my first oz of water. Good luck to everyone!! Keep us updated. I know reading about what everyone was going through made me feel less alone.

June 1st also how's everyone doing post op clear liquid diet? I'm feeling pretty good but sitting up is still pretty difficult for me 5 days out. Dr said I would be fine at home alone with my 4yr old once I left the hospital and man this has NOT been fun it's hard to keep up!

I too am struggling to keep up with my 5yr old. I can't imagine a 4yr old. Everything's getting better, but I'm struggling to get my fluids in.

My 5 year old has been a challenge as well. I'm doing ok with liquids, but can't tolerate protein yet. What is everyone else drinking?

I drink the clear isopure in a bottle, it's 2g/oz and not as heavy as the shakes. However, I keep having to stop after each oz and wait for spasms...so I'm slow on intake.

I am having my surgery on Monday June 8th. So excited and scared at the same time. Can I join this group?

I have a 5 yr old and 1.5, so I had my husband take 3 days off to take then to/from daycare and be w them evenings. I'm still sitting with them but he's taking care of meals and activities,def. Helps. Still on only liquids but going to try shakes today,see how that goes. Also,not getting in all fluids I should,but otherwise everything good.

Just my first day after surgery. I am on clear liquids until at least Wednesday. I have only had Apple Juice so far. 4 ounces every couple of hours. I feel quite full afterwards.

How are you guys doing now?

Just left ER, they were concerned about my fever of 3 days...but no worries, all was good. Was just my body fighting off stuff. All labs came back good and no leak! Whew.

Thank god you're ok. Day by day I'm sure you'll get better.
