Water, water and more water

I'm having the Gastric Sleeve surgery in 6 days! [emoji33] 4/16/18 is coming QUICKLY. I'm nervous, but ready for the day to come. I'm currently on the pre-op liquid diet, and I'm struggling.

The first 3 days were the worst for me. Soon after my cravings faded away and my body accepted the protein shakes and was content. After that was a breeze. Hang in there

Definitely fingers crossed!! Im a side sleeper too. I’ve read on here that if you prop the pillows around you it helps. Most people said within 10 days they could side sleep with no problems. I’m hoping that’s the case for us too.

I lived y’all. I took every bit of their pain meds but I lived and was able to side sleep

For some people it comes right out but it took about 5 or 6 days for me. I walked and walked but nothing happened. My doctor didn't want me to take gas x but some people do, anyway. Just hang in there.

april 16th!

currently on day one of my 2 week pre op diet

I’m April 16th!

Your pre-op diet is full liquid?

I am post op.

Today is my magic day ( day 10 post op)- zero pain and energy is back! I feel terrific. I have lost 20 pounds in ten days. That feels good too.

Walk more than every two hours.. like every hours. You have to get that pain to move! Walking is the key. It will get better.

That's awesome!

I am on the 2 week pre op liquid diet that started Wednesday. My surgery is April 25th. Unfortunately, I wish I could eat pudding and yogurt however my doctor has me on a CLEAR liquid diet which means I am restricted to broth, sf jello, sf popsicles, mio, crystal light etc. I can have protein shakes however but those get tiresome real fast. I am having no trouble meeting my fluid intake however I am so hungry I'm nauseous and not now. I've been feeling foggy, and occasionally dizzy even though I am taking vitamins religiously all of the ones my doctor told me to.

Does anyone know of anything I can add to my clear liquid diet to give me a little reprieve?
