You're lucky, all I could have on my pre surgery diet was any liquid without sugar, one glass of juice orngatorade a day, as many sugar free Popsicles or no sugar added fudge pops, two cups of raw veggies and two small pieces of fruit or one cup canned fruit, broth, and three of either SF pudding or light yogurt. Hang in there, it'll get easier!

@@IrishGermanRN I had pasta with chicken and a crab cake ontop in a lemon creme sauce... With salad and BREADsticks.... Bye bye to my long loving relationship with bread... And carbs in general. You're almost done! Are you taking your vitamins? Funny thing was I felt super healthy the whole time I was on my pre surgery diet. Enjoy your last few days being able to drink diet soda and chug water. Almost every time I drink now I get rumbling gas pains, I have to relearn how to drink without taking in air too.

@@IrishGermanRN when is your surgery scheduled? I found that after a few days of my pre-surgery diet I lost interest in food. I did cheat the first week and had grilled chicken because it's the only thing I REALLY wanted and I figured of all the cheat foods it was the least threatening to my liver. Hang in there! It gets easier! SF fudge pops were my best friend. Also, having the people you live with support you by not eating in front of you really helps.

What's the best protein powder you all have tried? I liked one by gnc that I used a long time ago but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I like to make mine with half milk and half water, but there's so many choices now, I have no idea which to choose

@@RioNan, I tried laying down and I couldn't get up. The hospital bed was a god send because I could just lift the head of the bed and swing my legs, but my neck is so sore from the past day and a half that I literally can't lift my head. How am I supposed to sleep tonight? When I try to lay on my side my incisions burn. I feel so helpless, I know I only had surgery yesterday but I'm feeling a lot of regret right now ????

Is anyone else that's had their sleeve having discomfort when drinking? I feel like every time I sip I get a rumble of gas that comes and it hurts pretty bad. Also, did u get sent home with pain pills or liquid meds? I was under the impression that it would be liquids and I got pills. Not sure how it's going to work out

I'm getting my sleeve on Monday and I'm so excited/completely freaking out! I'm only 25 and never been hospitalized for anything, never had an IV or catheter, never had anything worse than Vicodin for post wisdom tooth extraction.... And I'm a nurse! I've never been off this long, 3 weeks?! What the hell am I going to do?!!! I guess this will be a lot of firsts for me, but the best first will be my first pair of jeans that I can buy in a store that fit my belly, and my tiny legs! Who else is totally excited for some actual skinny jeans!!!????
