missyhope 20 Posted November 13, 2012 Today, I start the liquid diet phase of my journey. I honestly had a moment where I grieved for food last night, but I woke up with a renewed mindset and a Protein Shake. My whole life has revolved around food, Breakfast time we talk about what we will eat for lunch and lunch time we talk about what we will eat for dinner. I think that is the New Orleans in me, No more! I prayed this morning for strength to get through the liquid diet phase. Surgery is 7 days away.... 1 charissa70737 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No game 14,437 Posted November 13, 2012 Ok today is my day, sitting here with no sleep sick to my stomach and scared! I have to wait 2 more hours but I wish I could go now and get it done. I've read a lot of these posts and have learned a lot of people have to go through six months of appointments. In a way I feel like my time from the first consultation to now has been really to short.. But now I think it's good that's it's gone so fast because I've only had weeks to freak out instead of months.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kansasfan72574 13 Posted November 14, 2012 Was sleeved on the 11th. Got discharged yesterday. Still sore but the key is to walk, walk, walk! Worse part was recovery but walking the first hour after recovery really helped. That barium swallow for the leak test was HORRIBLE! But good luck sleevers! Now to start losing! 3 mike010906, CJ's mom and Mrsdw206 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irish1988 46 Posted November 14, 2012 I never got the barium swallow. Is that normal? My surgeon said that right after the surgery they puff up the new pouch with air and spray Water over it to look for bubbles... I always hear about the barium swallow and wonder if I am the only one who never got it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
