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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
