November Sleevesters?

[AliciaNoelle121 12]

Thank you I needed that. I'm starving

For me, once I hit day 4 and 5, I was over the hunger. It's mind over matter - just try and stay busy, go to sleeve earlier. I cleaned out my cupboards and my closet and went shopping for smaller clothes and it helped make me look forward and not think about the diet.

Hang in there! Day 2 like I said is not great. When do you head home? Get moving around to the extent you can to move the gas pains. Day 3 hopefully is better for you. Keep me posted on your progress

Majority of today I slept. I woke up every 2 hours and walked and it helped with the gas. I'm feeling better. I head home tomorrow I think I'll be more comfortable at home.

How bad is the barium? I'm so afraid its going to be so nasty it will make me sick. I got real sick after one of my c-sections and that was not fun at all....

I should add I'm.two days in to a fifteen day preop all liquids and I'm ready to cry

- I felt the same way! all liquid all the time - makes me gag. so everyday I add something (I know I'm not supposed to) but I have a yogurt or sf jell or a piece of plain turkey. If not I would scream. I figure three days before surgery (which is this Monday 11/12) I will have nothing but a few shakes; Water and clear broth. I can't drink 5 shakes a day - simply can't do it. Other people may be able to, but not me. Good luck everyone!

The pre-op diet is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I won't lie, I cheated a couple times during the first week. I've stuck to it this week, but its been difficult. I only have 3 more days. I cannot wait until its over and my diet was somewhat easier than most people's.
