VNaNa 28 Posted October 5, 2012 Omg I'm so scared of the liquid diet!!! Everyone in my fam is nervous about Mexico I'm nervous about the liquid diet because of my weight they suggest twice of it. Id think I can do it.... That's the reason y I want this done. If I can do it on my own I wouldn't need surgery... Any advice... Is it clear liquid for two weeks or can I have things like ensure/ slim fast/carnation etc Best advice I have, as Im on day 8/14 of liquid diet, take each day as its own. Celebrate yesterday's success and focus on today. Each day is its own. Im supr edgy and Iv beggd my nurse for a slice of cucumber, celery, one cashew --no way was the answer. U can do it surely if I can. 1 MommaMeg01 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scottishlassie 35 Posted October 5, 2012 It's all done! I was sleeved yesterday but this has been my first chance to post. I feel discomfort not pain, bit nauseated but they keep on top of that with meds. Managing to sip Water, but first few times felt like a golf ball going down and a lot of resistance. Its getting easier, There are defo worse things you can go through- so far so good- keeping everything crossed my recovery continues like this. Get well soon to everyone who's been sleeved the last few days. We're doing this!!!! #onedayiwillbeslim SD - October 4th 2012 2 Cyn and lilly's journey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cherrybombknits 184 Posted October 5, 2012 I'm alive and kicking! Surgery about 19 hours ago and I've already walked a few times and peed :-). The pain is starting to kick in, do not be a "hero", use the meds! No liquids so far, but I asked for a washcloth to keep my mouth hydrated and clean. Heating pad and lip-balm are lifesavers! Going back to sleep. Thanks for the support octosleevers! 3 zenoosh, Susan 2.0 and lilly's journey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choc_thicktothin 37 Posted October 5, 2012 Im on day 6 of my liquid diet and my mouth is sooooooo dry. I drink 2-3 Protein Shakes a day. chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Powder shake. I add bananas and peanut butter for extra Protein. But know that the reason my mouth is dry is cause of Water. I need to drink alot more. Cant wait til the liquid diet part of all this is over and i can eat actual food again. I think this is the hardest part. My surgery is the 10th and as it gets closer. I get more nervo us. It will be here before i know it..... I so feel your symptoms..dry mouth and wanting to get back to real good. I'm on day 9 of 15!! 1 TeeBeeCee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
