I just had my surgery on Wednesday (11/20/13) and wanted to know what would be good for my 'meals' while on the liquid phase of the post op diet.. any suggestions??? I know I need water and protein shakes but what can I 'eat'??

I had mine on 11/20/13 at noon. The first day is horrible! Walk as much as you can tolerate and if you are feeling nauseous it might be the morphine. Thats what was making me sick. I got switched to loritab and I feel much better. Try to pass gas too! It helps a bunch!

So I got my surgery on 11/20/13 at 12:30pm... From when I woke up until last night I felt horrible. Being two days out now I am finally feeling like myself again. The morphine was the culprit that was making me nauseous. I got switched to loritab last night and I was finally able to ear this morning! And pass gas... that's a huge accomplishment for me. I was only burping but being able to do both really helps out with thw stomach pain. (:

2 days out and I am feeling a lot better. I was actually able to put down 1oz of vanilla pudding and 1oz of plain cream of wheat from the hospital kitchen. Yes I decided to stay in the hospital an extra day. I was feeling nonstop nauseous and found out it was the morphine making me sick. I got swithed over to liquid loritab and feel much better. I am so excited to get past these first few months of healing and move on to my happier healthier life! Oh. And in case anyone was wondering I weighed 381 before my pre op diet. Day of surgery I weighed 359. (:

In quite a bit of pain. Not able to keep much down besides water. I might have to stay another night because I've been so nauseated

In my own room. I felt horrible right after waking up but I feel a lot better now. Its just like I did 500 sit ups. LOL. I can't even put down the jello they gave me. Just sips of good old h2o.

I felt like I was DYING the first day. After that it got easier and easier day by day! And today is my surgery! I am in the waiting room as we speak waiting to be called back!

I believe that I am getting my own room! PHEW! And thanks for the well wishes everyone! I am in the surgery waiting room waiting for my nurse to call me back for the IV hook ups and undressing. Haha. I cannot wait!

The Barium was HORRIBLE! I took it on monday and I am still having white runny stool... And I've been on my two week liquid diet so that doesn't help. It also sucks when they jab your wrist for your blood gas levels. OUCH!

My surgery is on November 20th!!! I am SO excited!!!! These two weeks of all liquids is kinda hard though. Lol!

I'm an 18 year old boy getting the sleeve, my advocate just called me and said I'm approved and going to get scheduled... I STARTED CRYING IN THE STORE!!! I am beyond happy and excited!!! Can I get some support and stories please?! Thank you all in advance!!!♥

This month! I got approved yesterday and I got the call to start my two week liquid diet tomorrow and my surgery is 11/20/13 @ 1pm!!!

Holy smokes! I am scheduled for the 20th!! That was so fast!!!

That is fast! I started my 6 months of appts in May and I JUST got approved today!! All of these appointments are SO worth it! I am so ready for this life changing event!

Congrats!! How long did it take for them to schedule you after they told you that you were approved??

Just keep working at it! I think you will be just fine! (:

I have been *fat* since I was about 7... I have tried every diet and workout program, some worked for a while, but they always just stopped working. Then I would give up. I was never able to be in football or do things other teen boys could... Not because I was too big but because of the fear and ridicule. At one point (9th grade) a group of 11th graders were following me around campus throwing rocks at me calling me a fat fa**ot.. Now that I have been doing online school, working a steady job for 3 years eith good pay, and have other things in my life together, shouldn't I treat myself to this amazing operation? I only have my final weigh in then I get to have my surgery pushed thru to my insurance which is a forsure thing... Some of my friends (a few that are bigger themselves) arw saying I shouldn't do it or that I don't deserve it.. I want to live a normal and happy life and do the things I couldn't do in my teen years in my 20's... Is that so much to ask? I just want some support and guidance... Thanks in advance

Yeah I woulf br scared to leak or blow out my new stomach! How bad was you pain afterwards? I have a pretty demanding job and I'm only able to get like 4 days off... will I be able to stand and walk around for 6-9 hours a day??

Woo! I'm waiting to get my sleeve and I want to follow the diet plan to a T... Would it be bad for me to start dieting like 4 weeks before my surgery? I mean like... Liquid diet. Lol. I want to drop at least 15-25lbs more before my sleeve.

I am very excited and your guys support and storues are really giving me a confidence boost! Is there anyone that has had the surg and has their success story/how long it took to heal or lose some weight? I know it won't be an instant result type thing and I want to be biking and jogging again within the first month... is that a possibility??

Thanks guys! And I can't wait to get my surgery scheduled. I just want to lost this weight and be able to be a real, active guy!

Sorry for the type-o's.. lol
