The GI test the day after your sleeves?



Recommended Posts

It's not terrible, but I failed. The doc said there was just a trickle going through and he couldn't be sure everything was good. My surgeon, though, said thatsince I was downing my liquids and shakes that I was good to go. Happily, he was right!

It ain't an orange whip, so don't expect anything you'll order a second round of. ;)

I had 2 liquids. The first was slightly thicker than Water and bitter as hell. The otger was chalky and thick like a bad shake.

I didn't have one. My surgeon doesn't do them because he's never had a leak and figures it isn't worth putting people through that unless there is a reason to. That made me nervous at first but after hearing about it, I'm glad. I'm sure it'll be fine though. Just another small step in the process. [emoji3]

Just had it on Tuesday. It was an awful, bitter drink and you have to drink about an ounce of it. Horrible! They gave me some Water to swish in my mouth after they took the pictures. Just really really bad. But I was able to start drinking after, so it was worth it!

The pre-op was terrible. They gave me something that made my stomach larger and omg ridiculous cramps and discomfort. They gave me some fizzy drink, ew. And one chalky one. That was terrible. You swallowed and it was still all around your mouth. Post op, was only 2 I think.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
