Did you have to drink that dye thing to see if u had a leak or did they have another method to check that? Hello patienceshy, All is well with me, today was a good day! I'm not hungry all the time just worries about my liquid and Protein intake. The first 2days for me were kkthe worst but everyone is different. The first day after surgery I walk around made the gas pain go away . Believe me it helps! Yes, i had to drink the thick yellow syrupy liquid. Its taste terrible! But totally double. No leak,no complication and no serious problems.. THANK GOD!!! Advice for you don't read negative post the will scare you to death. Everyone is different. I can drink my Protein, Water,broth,Jell-O and 1 scramble egg... also take chapstick or even better Vaseline, purchase a tongue scrapper for when you get home tongue get cooughted because of all the protein your taking use it every night it will prevent the severe halitosis (bad breath). Wish you the best of luck keep me poster ...maybe we can become sleeve buddies and workout together...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
