TheRev 235 Posted September 23, 2016 It's not terrible, but I failed. The doc said there was just a trickle going through and he couldn't be sure everything was good. My surgeon, though, said thatsince I was downing my liquids and shakes that I was good to go. Happily, he was right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheRev 235 Posted September 23, 2016 It ain't an orange whip, so don't expect anything you'll order a second round of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mimigettingskinny 40 Posted September 23, 2016 Is it a thick or think liquid post op? The pre op test nearly had me gagging Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRev 235 Posted September 23, 2016 I had 2 liquids. The first was slightly thicker than Water and bitter as hell. The otger was chalky and thick like a bad shake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The pre op test nearly had me gagging Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I didn't have a pre op test where I had to drink anything. This is just to make sure everything is working correctly. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelliev2015 136 Posted September 23, 2016 I didn't have one. My surgeon doesn't do them because he's never had a leak and figures it isn't worth putting people through that unless there is a reason to. That made me nervous at first but after hearing about it, I'm glad. I'm sure it'll be fine though. Just another small step in the process. [emoji3] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janey B 28 Posted September 23, 2016 Just had it on Tuesday. It was an awful, bitter drink and you have to drink about an ounce of it. Horrible! They gave me some Water to swish in my mouth after they took the pictures. Just really really bad. But I was able to start drinking after, so it was worth it!

road2anewme 0 Posted September 23, 2016 The pre-op was terrible. They gave me something that made my stomach larger and omg ridiculous cramps and discomfort. They gave me some fizzy drink, ew. And one chalky one. That was terrible. You swallowed and it was still all around your mouth. Post op, was only 2 I think.
