Topic: RE: Starting the liquid diet tomorrow... Ugh!!
I just started my 2 week liquid diet -- right in the middle of a cruise! It's tough... and I was scared that I would want to cheat. But my doctor told me that the diet is to shrink the liver and make it small enough to work around in surgery -- and that if he gets in there and it's obvious I didn't follow the diet, he would pull out and reschedule! So... it hasn't been that hard because I realize that THIS TIME the change is for real, and that I WILL see the benefits of the perceived "sacrifices" -- not like diets in the past where I just hoped that changes will occur.
Good luck!

Topic: RE: realize band on april 3/ so miserable help
thanks, I called my office and they reassured me that I was fine as long as I continued to increase my fluid intake. MY mother was worried that my sugar may be low so I added in a 24 oz gatorade and it seemed to help.

Topic: RE: realize band on april 3/ so miserable help
My band was done April 2 so I am not an old hand BUT from all the sights I've been checking, this does not sound normal to me. I am working my way from 40 oz of water up to 64 oz. It was very hard to swallow this much liquid and it caused gas. I've found if I have warm liquids it goes down much better. I got some lemon ginger tea by Stach, ginger drops from HiHealth for tea, and use cinnamon sticks for cinnamon tea. These things did help. I, also, use Beano for gas...grind it up and take it with yogurt or applesauce. I just sent in a message with two good recipes you could try. Liquids seemed to cause more gas for me than food. Have you let your Doctor how you are feeling now? If not, do so.
Hang in there...Milly J
