I'm doing alright, up and walking, sore, gassy, so thirsty! Getting ready to my upper GI leak test, then hopefully a nice drink. My bladder had a hard time starting up yesterday, but once they took me off the morphine, I was good. Best wishes fellow sleevers!!!

Glad to hear you all are doing so well!!

Is the leak test difficult in any way? Hard to drink the stuff(taste or otherwise)? Uncomfortable?

My sleeve date is 9/21 and trying to prepare best I can....

Congrats on taking this step, making a healthy change for life!!

Honestly, my drink was gross! It was the worst tasting lemonade ever. And it was hard for me because my surgeon also fixed my hiatal hernia and the liquid could get through... But it turns out all is well and I just got the clear for phase 2 liquid diet, woo hoo! Can't wait for m skinny days to come!! :) good luck everyone!!! I've been up walking, doing stairs, and everything. They kept me one more night, but I'm totally cool with it. Take care!

The upper GI was a piece of cake! It does not taste great but you hardly have to drink any and it goes quickly. I got to watch it on the screen too so that was interesting :)

I hated all of the unknown! It is nice to have this forum so you can ask questions and figure a bit of it out ahead of time!

Congrat to you all. Welcome to the losers side!!!!!

The GI leak test is fine. You stuff you have to drink isn't too bad and it's just a couple of sips. It'll be fine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
