Hopefully having my sleeve surgery this Thursday the 18th. I came down with walking pneumonia 2 wks ago and the surgeon wants to see me tomorrow to see if he hears Fluid in my lungs. Any fluid then surgery is postponed until April. ???????? Stinks if that is the case because I will have to do the 2wk liquid diet all over again.

SuzzyQ_deli...sorry to hear about your pneumonia! Sending prayers your way! Can't imagine having to do that liquid diet again! I was such a germophob before I had my procedure! Good luck to you & feel better soon!

I am in the hospital and I had my surgery yesterday :) I have been very blessed so far. The pain has not been bad and I am practically running down the halls (according to my mom). I am having trouble sleeping right now because I amurinating quite a bit. Overall, I feel good.

I lost about 15lbs on my 2wk pre op diet and my understanding was it is a way to heal your liver and allow a safer easier surgery for the doctor. It really wasn't too bad but I also was sick for part of it and didn't feel like eating anyways. If I were you I would try to stick with a low carb/ low sugar and high Protein diet now until your surgery. It will not only allow you to have an easier surgery but give you an idea on the new lifestyle and food choices you will be making after surgery. I am actually glad I did it. I will be sleeved tomorrow here in TN.

Hi Sammie16! Glad you are starting to feel better! I was in a lot of pain when I woke up too! I started feeling a little better once I got the pain meds! Had to take the anti nausea medication twice but it made me feel better right away! Once I was able to get up and moving, things were a lot better! I got to go home yesterday and was able to get a good night sleep. My sister bought me a wedge pillow which keeps my head elevated. My doctor said I needed to keep at a 30% incline when lying down. Got a shower and actually feel human today! ???? I am getting ready for my first Protein Shake. Hope you are well and making good progress! Take care! Keep me posted!

Home again, home again, jiggity jig jig! Phew! I had a lot of a nausea, so they kept me an extra day. Felt great the night of my surgery. Then got sick the next morning and felt like crap all day Tuesday, then pretty darn good again today. Concentrating on getting that Water down!

Hope everyone else is doing great!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
