tiffdmill 26 Posted August 28, 2014 I am scheduled to be sleeved on 9/3. I guess I'm fortunate that I only have to do liquids for two days. Good luck to each of you have to do extended liquid diets. I'm sure it's not easy. I keeping making lists of things "to do" and "to get" in order to prepare. Can't believe its a week away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are definitely lucky to only have two days of liquids. I'm on day 12 of my liquid diet, with three more to go after this. Surgery is Monday! It's funny you mention your list-making. I have several Google Doc files going where I have a to-do list and a packing list. Plus I made a calendar of everything (when to start pre-op diet, when to go off my supplements, surgery date, when to re-start supplements, when I can start each new food phase, doctors appointments, etc.).

Ha, so I have a giant excel file that says what I need to do each day for the first month! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllThatGlittersIsntGold 8 Posted August 29, 2014 It would be an excellent idea to make a template with dates in excel to make it easy to track.. I have been writing everything on paper.

I used this Google Docs Calendar Template and just filled in info on the appropriate dates, then printed off the August, September, and October tabs (since those were the months most stuff was happening for me) and hung them on my cabinets in my kitchen. https://drive.google.com/previewtemplate?id=0As3tAuweYU9QcHlVM3hrY2tocEkzYlFhX2hXTlNRSVE&mode=public Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tiffdmill 26 Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) I started Clear Liquids today (surgery on Wednesday). Had Unjury chicken broth, regular broth, SF Jello (with unflavored Unjury), Water and a few sips of Isopure. I have had so much painful gas and belching. Could it be the unjury? Ugh!

Myonlybattle 65 Posted September 1, 2014 I am having gas and belching too and wondering how I can belch when I'm taking in so few calories? I don't know why, but at least you know you're not the only one. Can't wait until this is over, I was at my sister's for a Labor Day pool party today and left alone crying because everyone was enjoying all kinds of delicious food and all I could have was liquids. Had a little pity party in the car on the way home, glad I was smart this morning and made my husband take his own car. He is still there with kids and I have been on this site for 3 hours, looking for inspiration. Two days from now, we will all be sleeved. Wishing everyone good luck!
