Anyone awaiting for surgery in next day or 2 having a tough time with the liquid diet and just so ready for the next phase?

I have surgery on Thursday. I'm doing a liquid diet but sensible dinner. salad with chicken or meat. No carbs at all.

[NewBecky 11]

Lucky you..... I'm on complete liquids and tomorrow I am on only Clear Liquids no Protein Shakes, since my surgery is Thursday also at 10 am

Been a while since I showed my BP pals some love...I'm 10 days out doing really good with my sleeve. Taking it day by day. I pray all is well with you all. (All who have been sleeved this month and all that are still waiting in line). So excited to be on this journey with each of you! Cheers to us for taking this big leap and re-claiming our lives!

Home day 2 from surgery. Pain, no meds because of nausea. Had drain and lidocaine wires taken out. Can't get liquids in, only maybe 30oz. 5 lbs down atleast. Bad headache prob from not being hydrated enough and freezing cold laying under 2 blankets but no fever. Any words of wisdom? Is anyone admitting to not getting in fluids and all being well? Lol very tired.

They should be able to give you something for nausea. Call them. You need to be able to take your pain meds and drink to prevent hydration problems. Try some pedialite to help get you back on track.

Well surgery well alot of scar tissue from my band but its over with. Just recovery walking drinking and pretty sore.

Day 2 post op and all is well. Pain is manageable, no nausea or vomiting. All in all a great experience looking forward to my new life.

I was sleeved on Jan 27th. Today is the best I have felt so far. Much less sore, more energy, etc. I still have to be careful moving around, but each day is a little better. Bored out of my MIND because I am off of work until Monday. Cannot WAIT to get back to work!

[BryBro63 410]

Wow Tate, you sound exactly like me! Sleeved on the 27th also, and although still a little sore, starting to get bored. Going for a walk later, heading back to work on Tuesday. Are you off pain meds yet?

[Tate777 84]

BryBro--- yeah I am off the pain meds. I have not needed anything more than Tylenol since Wednesday. And I am going for a walk as soon as I finish my Protein Shake.

My surgery was on Tuesday - came home yesterday and feeling great. Still on clear liquids with the addition of Protein Shakes can move on to full liquids tomorrow. So far today I've been able to intake about 16oz of liquid and 24g of Protein. I am feeling quite full, so I have to stop and take breaks yet I'm concerned that I won't be able to get in all my protein. Does anyone have some advice on this?

So glad to hear about all the successful surgeries that have taken place this month. For those who are on deck, the amazing experience awaits! Stay strong!!
