Ok, i get sleepy a couple times a day and take a nap. Still on pain meds just for pain in abdoman muscles. It is important to get up and walk around so blood clots don't form

I have reduced pain meds to twice a day instead of four times a day. Prior to this procedure, i never was on pain meds before.

I've never had experience with anesthesia.. Most nervous about that! Awesome you're getting up and around and able to reduce pain meds. I'm ready for the 13th to get here already so I can be on the side you're on!

Life of a mom pre-op. I'm sitting here drinking my strawberry Protein shake and feeding my 2 year old hamburger helper. This is day 1 on the liquid diet.

Good luck mom with 3

Hey Monie and Breezy and other aprl 4th ers. How are you? Bit of a time difference, but my sleeve was a success and they found a hernia and fixed it. Shoulder pain at first, less now, couldbe because of drugs. One nuse told me preopto drink lots of water to plump up veins, so i drank a litre 6 hours before but this apparently was not right and they may have had to put back my op time. On the good side, they got the needle into mt tiny veins. I was scared witless preop aned used meditation breathing technique just focussingon breath. Avoided tv news and watch look of acquarium fis to calm down. All good now, and so the journey begins. Hope you all have smooth op and recovery.

Why do some people have a 7 day preop liquid diet? I only have a liquid diet today prior to surgery tomorrow.

2 weeks is typical to shrink liver... if some ppl have fatty liver surgeon needs to shrink since it normally overlaps the stomach...

Today is day one of my 10 day liquid diet. Surgery is scheduled for April 14 (next thursday). I am almost at the end of my first day on the liquid diet, and I think I'm going to just go to bed, lol. I can have broths or bullion, sugar free liquids like popsicles, Jello, crystal light, even coffee with sugar free cream, etc. I can also have high Protein low carb Meal Replacement shakes. Today I have had a bit of a variety of what is "allowed" and like everyone else, I am less than satisfied. I have seen posts and other info that says that after the first three days, it seems to be less of an issue. One thing that I have found to be a little more satisfying than broth is the ramen noodle flavor packet in 2 cups of boiling Water. No noodles of course but it seems to go down a little easier. Has anyone else found anything that seemed to sit better than others? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

EAS Carb Advatage RTG shakes (rich dark chocolate flavor).

Also pineapple/coconut flavored ice pops

Kyle my surgery RNY date is 4/14 as well. I'm on day 5 of my 14 day liquid diet. The hunger gets better. I like Campbell's chicken noodle Soup strained with the noodles removed. It tastes better than the regular carton chicken broth. My issue is with headaches. I still have them. Hoping they go away soon.
