Congratulations on your surgery! I'm still in the pre-surgery process. This is a dumb question but what's the difference between liquids and full liquids?

Hi, Clear Liquids are what you can see through and sugar free for liver shrinking diet. Sugar free Jello, tea, broth, sugar free popsicle.

Full liquids is no lumps, you can have sugar free pudding, strained cream Soups, milk.

I was allowed Protein Shakes and Tomato Soup on my preop diet. You will need with hour surgeon to check as others were not.

good luck

It was just slightly painful for about a week, but now it is just a slightly weird feeling, enough to remind me my stomach is there lol.

Thanks! For full liquids I was allowed Protein Shakes, yogurt drinks, thin creamed Soups, and sugar free hot chocolate.
Tomorrow I start full liquids, so pudding, pureed Soup, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt.

Pain is bearable but the nausea is getting me down. Day 2

I was the same with nausea. I take Zofran and it helps a little. I’m 7 days out now, and it’s a lot better.

I’m starting my journey in getting the bypass. I have 6 months to get all my requirements done. That’s no problem. I’m just having a hard time opening up to my family about this. Anyone have advice in how to talk about what I’m doing?

It is your journey not theirs. When you tell them say that you appreciate their input, but you are doing this for you.

I've got 2 drugs to take to line my stomach and one I have to dissolve in Water tastes like bad chalk, not that I ate any. I'm better now after my first shower and I'm sipping my Protein Drink so I'm slowly making progress. I have no pain meds and I'm doing fine. I just keep saying one day at a time.
