I was doing the same thing all day. I am on my 6th day of my 2 wk liquid diet. I kind of feel as if I'm nesting. Cleaned out my closet and got rid of a lot of clothes I will soon not fit. I just left enough to use the first 2 months, and after that (hoping before that) they will begin to fall off of me. I even bought a gorgeous jewelry chest. Its close to 3.5' and I put some jewelry in it, but plan to fill it up when I start buying clothes. God knows I can't wait to go shopping. Anyway, it's been hard, but I've been drinking about 80 oz of Water a day and in between my shakes, I've had an occasional cup of hot broth. I helps with the hunger pains. Time seems to be passing faster than what I expected. I try to wake up late and go to bed early. I sleep 8-9 hrs at night and keep busy all day. I know that before we know it our special date will be upon us. Come on July 30th.

Hi, I had my surgery July 17.

[doingitforme18 26]

Tonight was my last night of "real food" (no starch though) for awhile I'm thinking. I had a Vegan pizza on a cauliflower crust, as pizza is my favorite food and it met the criteria. Tomorrow starts 2 days of clear liquids for me and I'm hoping to get a lot of sleep after day 1 because I often get hangry lol.

Tuesday is my surgery and from suggestions on this board, I have Biotine mouth spray and nausea disk ready to go, along with Lavender chapstick and a long phone charger. I'm wearing the same clothes out that I come in with and have an extra pair of comfy pj shorts to walk the halls in under my hospital gown...that's it. Everything else will come from the hospital.

I had an issue with constipation....it was pretty rough....about 10 days out, I had to get Milk of Magnesia, and some other help to go. Once I did, I did feel much better. I did end up calling my bariatric center for advice, they told me drink warm Water or tea, and try the MoM and to walk to get things moving....good luck

I always have issues with Constipation post surgeries because of the pain meds they give. I decided to be proactive for this one and got a box of Ducalox ready to go when i get home. I'm also going to order Smooth Move tea.

How are you feeling?? Things go well?

[LoriNumbers 2]

Yes, I’m learning not to stress my sleeve and not rush the protein/fluid goals. As long as I’m hitting them by the time I see my dr in two weeks. I made a promise to myself to take things as they come and do things in my own time. I wouldn’t let the staff in the hospital push through post op diet stage one and two because I was so nauseous for the first 36 hours. On the 19th my surgeon came to see me and told me the first 36 hours are usually hard. Might have been nice to know that! But I did go home on the 19th. My surgeon is world renowned and used the Da Vinci robot which I never saw but must ave been in the OR.

Hi hope your doing good I just had my surgery on July 19th too but just got released today because they repaired hiatal hernia too

My surgery was July 18 so now I’m post op and the only thing that is hard to deal wit is the releasing of gas through burping. It hurts and sometimes it make me dry heave. Is that normal.

My surgery is scheduled for July 26th! I am in California and am super excited but also really nervous

My surgery is Tues July 24th. I’m in day 5 of the liquid diet. I have had nothing but 3-4 Protein Shakes and Water each day . I was wondering what everybody else’s pre op liquid diet consisted of.

My surgery is tomorrow July 23rd I didn’t have to do a liquid diet which I was a little surprised about. So can eat normally today but nothing after midnight. But I still plan to eat light.
