Try to get some Water down, I think thats the most important thing starting off. Walking and Protein would be the next priorities.

Hi there, I was sleeved on Tuesday and when I got to my hospital room, the nurse brought me ice chips and Water. I thought it was really quick to start putting anything in my stomach, but I was told that the doctor wants to know how we tolerate drinking before we go home. I was given a goal in the hospital on how much to drink before I could be discharged. I too like you didn't have an appetite and I tried hard to eat the broth and Jello, but drink the water. Sip every 15 mins, you can do it. I know it was hard for me to do, but it can be done.

Congrats on your new journal!

I've been focusing on Water before Protein. My stomach can only handle so much but like you've all said, water first. And walking too!
Thank you all again. You've been such a huge support throughout my journey!

I wasn't allowed to have anything day of. I had to do a swallow and X-Ray leak test before they even let me have an ice chip! It was hard at first but I was only allowed 2 oz at a time every 2 hrs then increased to 2 oz very 15 mins before I could go home it was a challenge! Good luck to all

So far I've been getting 40oz Water in, I know it's not the total I need but I'm doing the best I can. Also I've been doing 3-4 10 minute walks around me neighborhood so I'm getting the walking in. Protein however, still a struggle.

I was sleeved Wednesday. It hurts so bad to sip. I set an alarm for 5 mins and take a tiny sip every time the annoying thing goes off but I'm getting my 2 oz an hr. I think the timer helps rather than staring at the clock.

I find it hurts less if he beverages are like warm. Even a little cool bothers me. We can be journey buds if you'd like! I was done Wednesday at 2pm! They were so backed up I didn't get to a room til 9pm!

I went into surgery at 1:30 and in my room at 6:50 right about shift change. But I was sleepy anyway. Maybe ill try some Soup broth. Thanks

      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!!
