JimmyGotSLEEVED 270 Posted May 11, 2012 Lesss than 2 weeks out and I'm fitting into my clothes like a pro. Even my sneakers fit lovely. Thy use to hurt a lot if I wanted in them too long but now they fit so comfortable! My button ups use to be tight around the belly area, guess what??? They are even loose when I sit down lol... Everybody knows if the shirt is tight standing up it even tighter sitting down lol... I'm feeling grateful for this sleeve. I still have the heartburn and upset stomach dilemma but it's getting better day by day... Btw I have this crazy craving for something carbonated lol... Any way my last day of full liquids is Monday then I start mushy foods in over 3 and a half weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
100%Sleeved 148 Posted May 11, 2012 Congrats on you accomplishment so far!! Have you asked your doc for some protonix or other meds for your heartburn? I use to have lots of acid and took protonix daily after surgery, now I only take them if needed. Again congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoreganK 164 Posted May 11, 2012 Thats awesome! Congratulations on you success so far! So how is it? The liquid part of the diet? I'm finishing up my pre-op doctor qualifications next week and should be scheduling my big day in a week or two. I'm so ready and very excited to the show on the road. The part I'm looking least forward to right now, is the liquid diet the week pre-surgery. Any tips and things to be aware of that you wish you prepared for?

Any tips and things to be aware of that you wish you prepared for?[/quote'] I am on the pre op liquid diet...and its hard. Don't let anybody lie to you. My surgeon gave me a list of things I can eat. And then an hourly guide...like at 9am drink this many ounces of this...etc etc. I am sooo grateful for this schedule...I move things around but make sure I don't eat more or less than what the hourly schedule says and I have been doing ok...I bought sugar free popsicles last night and man oh man!! They taste sooo good right now!! My advice is get a magic bullet. When I get sick of the Protein shakes I will blend them with ice and have myself a smoothie!!

Lissa 2,631 Posted May 11, 2012 Jimmy, Congratulations!!! You're already seeing results, which is so wonderful!! Don't give in to the urge for something carbonated. Do check with your doctor about an acid reducer and/or a nausea medicine. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel as soon as you start taking them. Are you allowed Decaf tea or coffee right now? If so, maybe a cup of one would help with the idea that you need soda. I love that you're already looking for those NSV's! I'm gonna turn every one of the newbies into NSV ho's like me! 1 100%Sleeved reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chitowngirl 886 Posted May 11, 2012 Congrats...keep up the good work. I thought I wanted carbonated drinks, then I had a sip of apple juice. It was watered down and still so freaking sweet. I cant imagine drinking sugar...I mean soda. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
