I am having a revision surgery and repair to hiatal hernia on 7/23. Start my clear liquid diet 7/20. Outpatient surgery which I’m happy about. Just worried about managing the pain. Good luck everyone.

I’m having my surgery today. I am in my bed at the hospital waiting for my turn, normally scheduled in 30 minutes. A bit stressed, but happy at the same time to finally get it done at last. It’s going to be difficult but this is a new beginning

Had my revision on July 13 and am in my two-weeks of full-liquid post-op stage. I'm getting in my Water, which is tough. Protein goals are unobtainable for me right now since everything tastes gross. I'm at the point where I'd lick the armpit of a panhandler for a scrambled egg or something easy to eat without all the fake sweet flavors.

Stayed one night in the hospital. Received two blood thinner injections.

Regretting the procedure, but mainly due to the staff at the clinician's office. It kinda feels like they got their hand on my money, so who cares about my follow-up and other concerns I have. I'm hoping the feelings of isolation and anxiety soon cease and I figure out the best way to proceed.

Also anyone’s doctor ask them to stop taking their Multivitamin before surgery ?

I am scheduled for Monday (07/26)! I am nervous, but in a good way? Like I know that the process is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done, but I know it will make me the happiest I've ever been.

I just had sleeve gastrectomy completed on 7/1/2021. I am having the hardest time getting anything to stay down. I vomit when I take my Vitamins, when I drink Protein, when I eat baby food, when I eat or drink anything even Water. I cannot get my ounces in for liquids or protein. I need some guidance. The acid reflux has been the worst part. My surgeon has switched my medications to try and get the acid under control. I just need support because I am not sure how long this miserable part lasts and I am over it. Nothing good is easy and I am not a whiner, but this is pretty tough...

      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.
