Tekara3927 265 Posted September 8, 2012 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!!! 1 suepeeps reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IrishEyes 59 Posted September 8, 2012 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekara3927 265 Posted September 8, 2012 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! 1 IrishEyes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suepeeps 230 Posted September 8, 2012 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! 1 IrishEyes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion509 107 Posted September 9, 2012 I am day 3 post op and trying to walk a lot and fighting with a lot of burping. I have no idea why I have so many gas inside me about liquid intake I cannot do 64 oz so far I only was able to drink around 15oz and it's already 2pm.

mdefabio 73 Posted September 9, 2012 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. 2 suepeeps and IrishEyes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
