cbruce125 114 Posted August 18, 2015 So it's been about 24 hours. Still in hospital, feeling pretty good. I haven't had anything to eat since Saturday. Just liquids on Sunday. I'm hungry, but feeling anxious about drinking Water later. Should do my leak test some time this morning. My pain tolerance is pretty high. It just feels like I did a bunch of stomach crunches. Not too much gas either. That feels more like a sharp cramp, but it passes. Hoping this part of the journey will continue to be this tolerable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbruce125 114 Posted August 18, 2015 Day 2 Started on Clear Liquids today (water, broth, and jello) I am tolerating it well enough, but feel full and I am afraid of over doing it. Since 10am, I have had about 20 ounces. Not sure I will get much more in. That's ok, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkinOnMe 596 Posted August 18, 2015 Not sure I will get much more in. That's ok, right? My Day 2 (clear liquids) was pitiful! I discovered that I couldn't get anything down if it was luke warm or room temperature...everything had to be either ice cold or hot. Once they put ice in everything I was better. Still struggled for a few days to get higher amounts down, but it slowly increased. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krista132 213 Posted August 18, 2015 Congrats on your decision to do the surgery and welcome to your new life! Take it slow with the liquid diet. It got hard for me at the end of 2 weeks. I was ready to eat by then, but just know that they tell you to wait for a reason. Trust what your doctor is saying. You will get through it and the weight will fly off during those 2 weeks.
