warrene 4 Posted September 8, 2014 congrats to all of the September sleevers. My sleeve was done September 1st and all is well. I read a post that said they splurged this past weekend with there husband and only need to do a clear liquid diet a couple of days before her surgery. I thought that too, but when I did my research I discovered that it should really be two weeks on Clear Liquids diet. But that time period had pasted for me, so I did a clear liquid diet the week before surgery. I have a girl friend and she and I went through this journey together. She only did the clear liquid for two-days before her surgery and her liver was much larger than mine and her surgery was longer because of it. I would suggest at least do the clear liquid for one week before the surgery. Just my two cents...... Good luck to ALL.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Bee 17 Posted September 8, 2014 liquid diet day one! It's not so bad but I just feel disconnected. My thoughts aren't very clear. Maybe I'm just tired. Is it the 22nd yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aloudwhisper 176 Posted September 8, 2014 I was sleeved September 1st and oddly I felt no pain from the surgery. However I had the worst acid reflux and one of my incisions opened today which was scary. Sorry to learn that. Wow! I hope you have a speedy recovery.
