March Sleevers

[Susan Mary 20]

Hi March Sleevers! My surgery is March 31st, and I'm not doing so great on my liquid pre-op diet! I think the fact that my surgeon said I'm on the low-end bmi didn't give me the urgency to do it right! He kinda made it sound like it would be good to lose some weight, but there was no urgency in his voice. So, now I have 10 days to hunker down and get serious. I've been averaging two shakes a day, and by dinner I gag at the thought of ANOTHER Bariatric Advantage banana or vanilla shake, and I usually love them!! OK, so starting tomorrow, NO MORE EXCUSES! Best of luck to my fellow pre-oppers....

That's awesome, Michelle! I'm getting sleeved on March 31st, and the horror stories of vomiting and pain scare me, but I'm praying I'll be one of the lucky ones, like you, and not go through all of that!!!

The worse issue for me is the gas release I've had, but it's all good now. Other than that, no nausea, no vomiting, none of that bad stuff. I'm sure to intake 1 ounce of Water within a 15 min time period. The scale I have shows my water % also, I'm right on my zone :-)

Home finally, feeling great, lots of fluids in and day 2 of my Clear Liquids. I'm also getting about 30-40 mins of walking in each day too.

The only thing that freaks me out is I never feel hunger... I've had nothing but Water or enhanced water with Protein & Fiber from Wal-Mart but I'm feeling fine.

So glad for you!! I hope to do half as good???? where did you get the water enhancement at Walmart? I looked in food and pharmacy and didn't see it...what does it come in.

Good Luck @@mechele8

I found it in the aisle with all the other Water Enhancer ad ins. It's in a tan box, 2 flavors. strawberry banana, orange and mango peach.

Great stuff there.

Hey all. Im on my 3rd day post op. I feel somewhat better. The trapped gas is the most pain ive ever felt! I tried using gas x strips but am not sure if they helped or not. I 've. Got 6 small, and i mean small incisions and are healing up nicely. I can definitely feel when the Fluid hits my new pouch and it dont take much for me to realize im full. Ill be curious to see how much weight ill loose in the coming months. Well, good luck to you all!

Gasx won't help with post surgical gas. That gas they punp inside you to have room to work. Sometimes bubbles hide behind organs and just have to dissolve. Gasx helps stomach gas if you overeat or eat something disagreeable. Try getting someone to karate chop your upper back and shoulders, and keep moving.

4 days until surgery on March 25. Anxiety level rising rapidly. I hope they will give me anti anxiety meds in preop.

Surgery is in 2 days......nervous but ready.....

[FortKnox78 109]

Its bizaare having no sensation of hunger and having to force myself to drink a sip

2 days for me and I'm pumped I've had a long journey to this day and I'm so looking forward to the gas pains and all. ...

My gas was horrible before I had a bite of real food. I tried the gas x strips last night & I throw them right up. Today blended cream of mushroom Soup & Decaf ice tea have been good today. Just not at the same time lol! Also my heating pad has been a lifesaver!
