My surgery is on September 26th and I'm extremely nervous.

Before my surgery I watch a bunch of YouTube videos and no one talked about the real life struggle with gas pains.

Are you allowed Gas X strips?

Me either. I added it to my LONG LIST for my doctor.

Right... Lol

I was prescribed Pepcid. It helps. Look on your drs webpage to see if he has a handbook on bariatric surgery.

Good idea

My first full liquid meal of 6 oz protein shake, 2 oz vanilla Greek yogurt thinned with vanilla protein shake, and 8 oz decaf coffee with banana protein shake

More like brunch

I'm having water, Apple juice, and cranberry juice. Oh and tea.

Can not do full sugar fruit juice because of my type 2 diabetes or tea due to my migraines

The juice I can drink have to be 100 percent Suger free. And I drink my tea with no sugar added

One week out and I'm feeling pretty good. My water is going down pretty easily I still i have to take my time with other fluids.

And it is wonderful to hear from all you late September chicks and dudes. Hope things continue well for you all!?❤?

Oh my goodness after my first day of full liquids I hit the wall of pain like you would not believe. I thought I tolerated everything well. I could not sleep at all that night and when I got up the next day I had to drive for the first time since surgery. I actually had to go and sit through a 4 hour class. That was fun, NOT. I did it but it was not fun. I went back to clear liquid and drank a protein2o drink along with my water and that was all I had on Monday. I called my doctor on Tuesday and his nurse told me I may have become lactose intolerant. However I am able to tolerate the regular protein shakes just fine.
