Had my surgery on 24th of March. Has been very challenging, mentally and physically draining! However I notice that each day it gets better.

Any pointers?

I'm keeping track of my Fluid intake, taking my Vitamins, using breathing thingy (forgot the name) LOL.

Pre-op weight (prior to 2 week liquid diet): 298.6

Pre-op (right before surgery): 287.3

Goal Weight: 188.6

Just know what works on day may not the next....i notice hot liquids are very easy but cold no...

I haven't tried any hot liquids but I'm noticing ice cold is a NO... Has to be room temperature. Going to drink some hot tea tonight to see if there's a difference. THANK YOU!

Try with some honey....decaf coffee works well and well counts as your liquids...

Will do. Cold feels like it gets stuck. I get this insane gas pain that last 3-5 seconds and goes away. I don't drink coffee but I'll have decaf tea.

I couldn't stand cold things either.

Just sip all day and relax even if you have a lot of energy. The worst thing I did was over do it right after surgery.

I find that taking gas ex 4 times a day omg helps so much with the gas pain...with out it woukd suck...and at 3 days out i was still having stomach spasams...anytime anything touched my stomach it hurt

Started my journey same day you did. I'm struggling through but the folks here have really helped. Good luck and keep posting

My biggest issues is feeling full and having to still drink all these liquids. I've only used the bathroom twice today and it hasn't been much. I'm getting worried

"In the end we only regret the chances that we didn't take."

I drank 37 ounces today so far. Yesterday (2 days post op) I did horrible with fluids.

Hi. I just had a lap band removed and gastric done on the 21st. Tomorrow will be week and wow am i still sore. Since I "kinda" had two surgeries my doctor expected me to take a little longer to heal. I'm trying real hard to get the Protein in since they say it promotes healing and of course I need it. The lapband stopped working and we had to remove all the saline resulting in weight gain. So I started Gastric at the same lapband weight from 2010, ugh. My diabetes went away the day after surgery. That was amazing. Been researching full liquid recipes so i will post if i find something something really good. Glad to be here.

I had mine done on the 24th as well - no pain medicine for the last 2 days and overall feeling good! Already tired of this liquid diet and craving yogurt and applesauce. I had a yogurt smoothie today and did pretty well with it!
