Did anyone have acid indigestion on the liquid diet? I am in day 6 and I am feeling acid indigestion like crazy and it is super uncomfortable… -

I was told I had to do liquids to shrink my liver… but if your doctor said you can eat veggies good for you… I would do anything to eat real food… I am only 4 days in but I have 10 days to surgery left and then 14 days after before soft foods which I am so excited about… I am thinking somebody could make a fortune coming up with a meal kit the has everything packaged up for some so all they had to do was mix it with a blender bottle and drink for the month and then have the puréed stage and then soft foods stage … like all be prepped and sent so you don’t have to figure it out!!!

HORRIFIED of General Anesthesia
alpsgirl replied to hannah grace's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I woke up in the middle of my first time sitting up and looking at my foot… they said give her more and helped me down… I was not traumatized in the least…. Seriously…. I like the feeling it is like a really dreamy relaxing sensation… the anesthesia we will be under for this will be heavier than my foot… I have had that 3 times … you will wake feel very cold so ask for heated blankets and the heater under the blankets… you might be thirsty but like I said you will have an IV and all of a sudden you will just fall asleep… the surgeons are super cool… they usually play music and are cracking jokes… I like them in a good mood.. my anesthesiologist said he would charge extra if they left tools inside once… I said ok… lol I promise it is ok if you just try to relax and enjoy the sensations you are going to love it… waking up is good to just ask nurses for what you need… they are really happy to help!!! -
COLLEGE students - please help!
alpsgirl replied to goatsarecool's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was a college student a long long long long time ago.. you are old enough to do things that don’t concern others and it isn’t there business. If they care in the negative they are not friends and steer clear of them… friends support and want the best for you. Your mom should be Included in the conversation because she is financially and lovingly involved. Include her in your decision. I am sure she wants the best for you too… talk to your dad to soften mom up a bit if you need to I am sure the both of you can tag team her into being supportive if you feel she won’t be… most families are very supportive… my mom knows about mine and she is usually not supportive but she is about this… she is also not paying anything for it except coming to cat sit my babies while I am in the hospital… but our cats love each and they haven’t had a play date In years … we have three Abyssinians… but let your family be there for you and if your college friends are friends they will be supportive as well … -

alpsgirl replied to LibrarianErin's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am changing my June 28 is that close enough to July to be a group member? Right now I am day 4 of the liquid diet and am wondering can I do this… I am looking forward to the soft foods portion a month away… lol and when I can start having mashed things!!! And this is when I already fast all Saturday due to chronic pain… from an accident by a teen texter… it is a long story … but I know after the journey gets me to where I can walk again better And pain is less it will be worth it… -
