Thank you and congratulations to you. I'm starting to get super excited like it's my birthday. I survived the disgusting barium so I have a day of clear liquids the day before my surgery and I'm good to go.....Ok gotta admit I just made myself nervous again typing all of that out

Hi everyone, I just got scheduled today, to have surgery on August 29th! I’m excited and nervous. Only have 1 day of liquid diet on the 28th. On the 25th I’ll have to not have anything heavy, like red meat and so on.

Congratulations GamePlan. I have one day of liquid diet too. Are you getting ESG too?

congratulations GamePlan18 we are having ours done on the same day i hope everything goes very smooth for you are you nervous? i am a little bit getting better though cheers

Had surgery on 8/6/18. Went home from hospital 8/7/18 about 5pm. Even though home, still having gas pains and what not. Hard to lay down or go from laying to sitting/standing. Stomach is super sensitive regarding even liquid tylenol or taking other pills. Trying different shakes/broths/ices to see what reacts better but despite stomach growling from gas, I am not really hungry. And considering I am a poor drinker, this may lead to dehydration so I am working on it!

I’m on day 2 post op (sleeved 8/6) 1 & a half days in the hospital, I’m home now. Yesterday I could do everything for myself I even passed some gas ( gas pain is no joke). Today I woke up on my own little pain and no assistance from anyone. I think it’s a mental thing. I also think it’s going to depend on how you’re feeling after surgery if you need more assistance at home. The day of surgery I was soooooo weak but today I feel fine. A little gas pain and little stomach pain but other then that I’m doing fine for myself. I’m not about to drink much. Hot fluids are better for me than cold fluids. Either way I want to down a cold cup of water, in due time!

I’m so glad you are doing well KRush. It’s encouraging that you’re not in too much pain. I’m 2 weeks out and my biggest concern now is not having coffee. Yikes!

Thank you ! I think I can have coffee in about 6 weeks. I can have decaf now but I want the good stuff lol. No worries we will be back to coffee soon enough. I’m able to lay in bed with lots of pillows. I’m going to try crystal lite packs next week.

Sending you well wishes and healing vibes friends. You are a true warrior.
