I did a liquid diet about 20 years ago. Not fun but quick results. Is this part of your supervised diet in preparation for surgery?

Yep. I was prescribed 14 days of Optifast. 3.5 days down. 10.5 left to go. Then it will be 2 days of Clear Liquids. Then surgery on June 21.

Today is day 4 of optifast and I feel like I’ve mastered the optifast gulp. I can get those suckers down without a gag now! Small wins but I’ll take ‘em!

But on this 4th day, omg am I ever irritable! I don’t feel hungry, but I’m grumpy and crusty and short and snappy... and I have lost all patience with everything. Please let this be a day 4 thing and let it pass soon!

Anyone else out there experience this on the pre-op diet plan?

How's everyone who had surgery this past week feeling?

Angel,

I am feeling alright. It gets better as the days go by. But I sure could go for something refreshing to eat.

But don't feel sorry for me, For now, it's clear, clear and soup.😏

I am post-op day 5. I feel soooo much better than I expected to be feeling. Took Tylenol last nite for sleep. Nothing needed today. Got the gas under control(for now) with Gas X. Walked 7100 steps today. Tomorrow I’ll probably be exhausted. LOL

I remember that I got grumpy at times on my liquid diet. My husband took me out for walks when I got that way. It seemed to help. You can do it!!

I just got home from the hospital and am on day 2 of post op with sleeve. Struggling with stomach spasms but taking my meds and heard it’s normal. Just focused on getting the 64 oz of liquid a day and resting/walking. Anyone experience the spams?

So I didnt see a June thread and wanted to make one so we could all stay accountable and have a lot of good and bad experiences together!!! Introducing myself: My name is Kassandra, I am 27 years young, I have 3 great kids (9 yr old & 5yr old little boys & a 2 year old little girl), a wonderful hubby, and 3 great cats. I'm a type 2 diabetic & have sleep apnea. I decided to do this to take my life back because I do NOT want my kids to lose me so young. I'm 5 ft 2 and 258 lbs. I was 293 last summer then I started to make small changes to get ready for surgery. I had planned for the sleeve but my insurance won't cover it right now so RNY it is!!!
I have the sleeve surgery on the 24th and I can't wait. I have so many health issues and I would just like to get healthier for myself. I honestly can't wait to be able to walk without hurting so bad that I can't walk a block without severe pain. [emoji2] I'm happy happy happy for my surgery to come!

No spasms, but a lot of pulling. Nights are rough. I know it's temporary, but I want to be better now.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
