I wonder why i see everyone having to do clear diets and my livershrink diet has it where i can eat??? Dont understand

I asked my doctor about this and he didn’t think the long clear liquid diets did much past a certain time frame. I’m sure it has to do with each patient as well but in his office it’s 2-7 days of liquid. I started liquid today, tomorrow is bowel prep and meds to “sterilize” digestive tract, surgery the next morning.

Does everyone have to wash with the surgical Soup the day before and morning of surgery?

Surgery yesterday and doing better today. Last night sucked. Couldn’t sleep at all. I think I slept for an hour then no more then 5-10 minutes. Every time I’d fall asleep my o2 levels dropped and the alarm would jolt me awake. Barium swallow this morning showed no issues so reward is ice chips - so good after going 36 hours nothing to drink. Bring petroleum free chap stick! Life saver those hours. Good luck to future November bypassers!

I had my RNY on November 7th, 2018. I am trying my hardest to get all fluids I need. Has anyone found a good combo of bariatric Vitamins to get everything we need?

Alex8706 - I had my bypass surgery on November 5th and I’ve been able to get everything in since. I take the chocolate Celebrate 4 in 1. It combines all your Vitamins and Protein in one shake. It’s been good to have that in the beginning!

Just got home and so glad to be out of the hospital! Now the work begins. Already fighting food association. Really would like to have a couple of triscuits and cheddar cheese - my go to come home snack...

Also, one wls patient went code blue today. All is good, she just stopped breathing for a bit. Scary.

I am dying to add some sort of different flavor or texture to my diet. Tuesday is my 2 week post-op and I will (hopefully) finally be able to move on to phase 3, pureed diet!!

My wife just brought home some vegetable broth and the different flavor is welcoming. SF popsicles have been my go to bland buster but I can’t wait for stage 3 either.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
