You will see here every pre op and post op diet is way different. I have 14 days of 4 Protein Shake and was allowed coffee or tea. Best thing to do is following your offices plans and don't get nutty over the differences. I was bitter when I read some people had no pre op liquid diet. That didn't help me at all.

Hey everybody! I am scheduled for June 24th. I am on a two-week all liquid diet. I have to have a shake every four hours while awake 6:30, 10:30, 2:30, 6:30, 10:30. I am using designer whey because I am allergic to artificial sweetners and it uses stevia. I am also using crystal light, chicken broth, Water, Vitamin water zero and some zero. I drink two shakes and have some broth in between. I drink water all day and unsweetened tea. It hasn't been that bad, i was a little hungry yesterday but it got better. My issue is that I am a teacher and I now go to the bathroom every hour!!!

However, small price to pay! I am looking forward to the surgery. Is anyone else dealing with a sweetener allergy? What are you doing about it?

Correct me if wrong but doesn't crystal light have artificial sweeteners.

I stopped using AS for 8 years but with the Bariatric requirements it's hard to avoid. The regular Proteins, like designer whey don't have the Vitamins that the baratric proteins do. I figure I will get off AS when I can eat mushiies

There is a pure fitness crystal light that uses stevia instead of artificial sweeteners! It is great! It comes in lemonade, grape, and mixed fruit. I loved them before this surgery!

I was sleeved on Wed, June 11. Spent two nights in the hospital, mainly due to nausea. My nausea didn't come from Water, I felt it was from anesthesia because it felt more like motion sickness. They put a patch behind my ear and it subsided quickly! Also started getting bad pains in my shoulder that the pain pills weren't touching. Nurse explained it was probably gas buildup from surgery that "settled" in my shoulder. She gave me a heating pad and it went away. I have 6 incisions in my belly and only 1 of them hurts now. Figured it was the one they pulled my stomach thru! Hard to stand up, but once I start walking, it gets better. I was on puréed foods in the hospital, put in Jello shooter containers for me! Could only get a couple bites in so glad I didn't waste too much. Using the Unjury Protein shakes...very good! I have lots of heartburn even though I'm sipping slowly. All in all, I'm doing very well and just looking forward to the incision pain to subside and I'll be good to go!!

With my gall bladder removal, I had one incision right where by bra lays but I went home and did not wear one and did not care..but if I am at the hospital and walking around I want to be decent but not in pain...

Angela-

I did not wear a bra at the hospital. I walked around in a hospital gown and grey non skid socks. I was only there for one night. I wore a sports bra , no underwire, and a maxi dress the day I left the hospital. And flip flops. Be careful of anything with a waist or that you need to bend to get on. My surgery was last Monday. Good luck to you on your new journey

I was fine with a bra on, no pain, the incisions are lower so it didn't bother me.

Thanks for that advice. I bought comfy jogging pants to come home in. Didn't think about the incisions. Am going to have to go buy a comfy summer dress.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
