Congrats on getting your surgery date!!! Isnt it exciting? I was counting the days for mine. I hated the 2 weeks pre-op liquid diet. I bought Biotene spray for the dry mouth. It helped alot!!! Just make sure you dont swallow it until after the sip test. For BM i bought fiber gummies. I'm sure they have the powder for water. It helped alot as well. I also took Gas-X strips for my hospital stay but I didnt use them because I had no gas pain. Anyways good luck!!!

If she feel dehydrated then yes. She should start her diet over. letting her try liquids. Sympotms of dehydration include dry mouth, no tears, fatigue, no urine. Then I would say take her to the ER. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

All you need is Biotene mouth spray.... boy did it save my dry mouth. i did not care about my hair. I did bring my own toothpaste and toothbrush. Cell phone too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Everyone makes mistakes it ok, you shouldnt feel upset about yourself. Just as long as u recognized you were in the wrong and the fact that you feel guilty is a good sign. My surgeon made me go on puree foods the day I got out of the hospital so every surgeon is different. I personally think you will be fine. Take Fiber chews or the powder fiber. It helped me alot to do a BM after surgery. Im 1 1/2 mnths out, I'm on solid foods now. I hope everything is good with you. best of luck to you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Everyone ????. I am so excited to have joined the sleevers after an unsuccessful journey with the Lapband. I am 4 days post op. Boy has it been exciting!!! I just wanted to share my experience so far with people who are soon getting sleeved. I was informed of this app via a new friend I met at the course our hospital was having for the bariatric patients. I was soo happy when he showed me this app and read all the post op successful stories and was like Yes!!!! I can finally find someone I can ask for advice! My hospital experience was like no other. I had no gas pains whatsoever. I walked my rounds every two hours without my IV pole. Everyone that got sleeved or banded that day were in shock because I was not in pain. I didnt get to have morphine on my side because I became known of my allergies to it when I got banded in 2013. So instead I got Dilaudid. Boy did I lol . At least for 2 hours. I took with me to the hospital the Biotene spray for "dry" mouth and that helped alot!!!!!! I now drink 2-3 premier Protein drinks a day they each have 30g of protein in them, and my H2o. I eat the tuna packs with "lemon pepper" flavor and boy is it good! I also eat baby food, banana flavored. I add a little bit of greek plain yogurt to moisten it up the tuna alittle. I am so freaking happy with my decision. Everyone whose in the process or thinking about it Good Luck and I have no regrets. My surgeon is THE BEST. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Danab23 every Surgeon is different lol. My surgeon approved me for mushy foods the same day of surgery. For Breakfast I ate clear liquids. For lunch I had tuna, so I'll be on soft/mushy foods for a mnth. Already lost 10lbs 1 week post op. So you'll be fine!!!! You can handle this!! I know its hard but u can have all the sugar free pops u can take lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@gettingsleeved16 I lost 10lbs and I am loving it!!! My Surgeon is proud of me. I dont get weird either when people eat foods I used to love. I got over it. Lol the first couple of days i was like OMG stop torturing me. Go eat in a corner. Now I sit with everyone and have little 3oz of tuna or turkey burger. We will all be fine!!! Keep eachother updated!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@mallnut I only did Clear liquids as my first meal in the hospital. I tolerated that and drank my portion then they me moved me up to puree. So I'm on soft/mushy food for a mnth. Lost 10lbs in just 1 week of post op. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@mimi52. yes I was so scared when the radiologist showed me the scan of my new "stomach" looked sooo small and i was terrified that i wasnt going to eat. But the puree phase had be nothing but a cakewalk that god!!! I take my Vitamins on a dialy basis and Premier Protein drinks come with 27 vitamins and 30g of protein but i only drink the chocolate. i meet my protein goal daily!!! u can do this!!!!! r u in NY?

Im from NY too... so if u want to switch doctors just let me know. My surgeons are from the New York Bariatric Group Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For some odd reason I can only tolerate the chocolate flavored one. It goes down easier. Never tried the other flavors except for strawberry cream... idk but I can't tolerate it. I also eat the tuna packs, i pick the lemon pepper one and that little pack has 18g of Protein and I add a little bit of non fat greek yogurt and its amazing. You can do it!!!! I do get pains tho, not my incision sights or gas but the stapleline inside my stomach. I drink Pepcid for acid so it doesnt bother me as much and I drink tramadol for pain but that also makes me sleep all day so I only drink half. But let me know how it goes!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

yea lol, I mean I dont eat all of that in one day. It either 3 Protein drinks a day or 2 Protein Drinks plus the tuna. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I had the lapband done in 2013 and had it taken out because I had no restriction whatsoever. I just got sleeved on the 11th! I also developed a hiatel hernia. I had to her my gallbladder removed because of my lapband. So far the sleeve has been the best choice i have ever made for a revision.

and as for the phlegm i did have that, even at the hospital. What I had a problem with the first 3 days after discharge was nosebleed. Non-Stop i was getting scared for a moment. when I decided to go to the emergency room because I woke up to my pillow filled with blood stains It stopped, and I havent bled since then. But the phlegm does go away. Just keep coughing and using your sperometer however u spell it lol it helps. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey, I got sleeved a day before you! I didnt expierience any pain tho i did love the self medicaiting button. I didnt have morphine I had Dilaudid so I slept and slept and slept. Anyways lol, I didnt have any and when I say any Gas pains at all! I drink the premier Protein drinks. 30 grams of protein in each bottle. I drink 2 or may 3 of those but I only do the chocolate flavor. I get sick with vanilla even before surgery. As for Water I drink it all day! Even after i finish my Protein Drink. Try it in the morning and u have all day to drink. You can do it!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It will all get better hun, I promise. Just think of it as a blessing I know its hard to see it that way. I smoke electronics if my doctor found out he would kill me lol. But i dont smoke it on a daily basis. I'm not saying u should do that. I havent had my iced latte in weeks and im going crazy because I live for DD iced lattes but i know this recovery stage is necessary and when I get to my goal weight there is no one stopping me from shopping my life away lol.

hey, I got sleeved on 10/11 and I walked around the hospital without pain meds or the IV pole attached to me. I have/had no gas pains whatsoever the other patients were shocked and the nurses were like how are u so happy and not in pain. I tolerated my foods. I'm doing well at home and my incisions are healing fine. Thank God!!! I see my doctor this week. So listen theres nothing to be paranoid. Not everyones body is the same!
