I'm on day 4 and feeling better but I also wasn't really sick, so I think you have to do what you think is best. I don't think I'd get on a plane simply because you just don't know how you'll feel. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -
Definitely getting better by the hour. Started puree diet today and doing well. Just taking things very slowly and cautious. But I'm not regretting it anymore Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Started puree diet today Definitely helped doing the position last night and through out the day. It's really just about taking things slow. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

It's getting better by the hour. I'm still doing liquids which is Jello,chamomile tea,chicken broth, apple juice. I'm sticking to the 2 ounce limit. I'm hungry because all I see are food commercials but seriously, I would be very content with just one saltine cracker. My biggest concern is that I have regular medication that I need to take but I never take it on empty stomach. The fullness or whatever feeling is more on my left side, I have discovered that holding a pillow is comforting. I did feel much much better today. The first couple of days do make you question your decision but don't give up..as I'm sure I'll have more of those moments since December seems forever from now. But I just keep telling myself that this will pass and not having diabetes or heart issues from the weight is well worth months of discomfort. Do everything they tell you and others suggest...it is essential to getting over the first couple days!!!! Good luck and I'll keep you updated Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

It went well. No vomiting so that's a plus. Day 2 was my worse, mainly because I was just very uncomfortable. Take the meds around the clock, take the miralax because it did help me. Follow the liquid diets. I definitely had my moments of doubt but I woke up today and feel alot better. I do recommend taking levison,using a wedge pillow, bc it really helps with the discomfort. And take it very slow. Everyone was right, it will get better! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

I'm having to take omeprazole, and the nausea patch before procedure, then more after- as needed for nausea and stomach issues. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

Good luck! I'm having mine on Tuesday and am so nervous! I've gotten all the different foods,liquids, and medications! I also found a medication time chart on google to help me keep track of my meds! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -
Yes, I got all my meds and am starting on a stool softner bc someone else told me too. Lol I'm a researcher so I've read any and everything I could especially taking advantage of the forums! I also have a great nutritionist. Thanks Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
