I had my surgery on 10/15/12. So good so far. I still a little nervous on what's ahead but I am up for the challenge.
Topic: RE: Liquid Diet!
The answer to "SOMETHING IN YOUR WATER" is Crystal Light. Honestly I hated water and never drank it....but once I found Crystal Light power I pour one into my bottle, shake and I'm off. Oh I love the Lemonade and Peach Tea. I can now drink several per day. Give it a try.
(PS: keep your purse full of the travel packets - I ask for water at restaurants and pour my own lemonade.)
Good Luck

Topic: RE: Today is sleeve day
Thanks everyone for the support. Stayed 2 nights at the hospital. They wouldn't let me leave until I could drink 30 ounces. Never thought that would be so difficult. Had sugery on Friday, discharged on Sunday. On Wednesday, felt much better and was able to drink about 120 ounces that day. On the puree phase right now. Willpower is going great in not eating too much or the wrong foods. I seemed to have developed an addiction for watching the cooking channel and cooking all types of food mor my family, even though I dont even sample it. Got bold and took a couple of bites of a cuban sandwich, which I won't be doing again any time soon :(
