Ehhh I packed on like six pound before surgery...eating everything. I really didnt even follow my preop diet because I was missing food already. I felt the same was...guilty, but I loved the food. I was the heaviest I have ever been on my life on surgery day, and I came out "fine", as fine as one can be missing 80% of their stomach and happen to be addicted to food. That is the beauty of this surgery though, You cant sit and gorge...It is impossible, youll die a painful death...I took a swallow of Water the other day that was too large and was mad for an hour about it...You'll do fine, promise = D

That is just one of like 20 that can help you a little = D

NO! I had even forgotten that I bought jello! I will try and see. Thanks!

OK, SO I am 6 days out and feel completely normal for the most part with the exception of:

I am talking Cipro antibiotic, and every time I take it is get nauseous for about an hour after, then it goes away...I KNOW it is because I am taking it on an empty stomach, but what else can I do on clear liquid stage?

Thanks,

Tiff

@Janet I did but I am trying not to get an official number until my first official weigh in this Tuesday. My ticker is a little off because I put it up and then put on 5 pounds because I was eating everything in my house lol. Surgery day I was 274, When I got home I was 269.4.....So we will see what happens = ]...I did get my pre surgery measurements too and I think I am going to either check those bi-weekly, or monthly ....... = D

I am 24 and just got mine last Tuesday...SO far I feel almost completely normal again..Other than I cant be a fatass = ] You will love it..

WHY do I want a hot dog sooooooooo bad!!

YAY STACY!, I am just now getting home and situated and back on here.... I am so happy you are doing well! Look at us all sexy and sleeved together = D

I am actually alarmed at the amount of fluids I have been taking in, Honestly I havent really monitored it yet because I am only Clear liquids at this point and I am very literally sipping all day, There is always something in my hand. I will also say I havent been watching my carbs just yet either...I have been drinking Apple juice, Gatorade, LOTS of Water. When I got to the ATL airport, I hit startbuck and got a grande shaken tea, which i spilt some, then all the ice melted so i threw it away...but i drank maybe half...I am doing surprisingly well...I really thought I'd be more sore, or that drinking would hurt more and I mostly feel almost normal, like nothing happened...Honestly i feel great...My stitches look gross, but they are itching like hell so I know that they are healing...Going through the airport was kinda hard because I havent wanted to put soild food in my mouth, but in the ATL airport, EVERYTHING smells good, it wasnt THAT hard though, just hurried on to my next flight. I even drove my vehicle home when my sister picked me up at the airport. I wanted to go for a long walk today but of course it is thunder storming at my house, the icky weather must have followed me from TJ.SO as of now I am laying around relaxing, listening to the rain and uploading videos....Thanks everyone for worrying about me = D

Ugh I am soooo going back to TJ...It is WAY more fun then where I live and like every guy I had to deal with down there was beautiful...like beyond words Gorgeous...lol

Aweee you guys!!! This is my first day checking this and I am so surprised and so full of love from you guys!! Thank you all so much! I am sitting in the living room, hanging out on the internet. They pulled out my drain today, that was interesting to say the least...lol I leave here tomorrow!! I will talk to you guys when I get back in the US. Thanks everyone!!

SOOOO I landed in San Diego, I posted a short video...Tomorrow I should get a little more....Today was tiring but something KINDA neat happened. I was just getting in and looking for a taxi and who walks by me, Taniya Nayak! I am a loser and I watch the crap out of HGTV so I immediately recognized her! Lol I am apparently so small town = D

Well ONE it is a little too late to even bother analyze it because my surgeon has my money in his pay pal acct already, My flight is books and my hotel is too.

And TWO I dont think anyone is ever fully prepared to actually do this. They all seem to be just to the point of: they are as ready as they are ever gonna be, so...

I am as ready as I am ever gonna be...

I hate the THAT!

RUDE: You took the easy way out.

Comment: Yep I totally did by letting someone cut me open to remove a large part of a working organ, would you like me to demonstrate just how easy it was with this pocket knife I have in my purse?

Then throat kick them and run away = ]

Awe thanks babe! Now if I can just figure out how to stop eating everything ...I'll be good lol

I cant even last ONE DAY on a liquid diet....How am I ever gonna do this? Too late to turn back now, I am all booked up and paid for, and leaving tomorrow...I just CANNOT believe I cant go ONE DAY without food....i mean seriously = / WTF is wrong with me?

UGH...I can not possible wait until tomorrow. As a matter of fact I may stay awake until I have to leave tomorrow. I wont be able to sleep anyway = /

I was going alone originally. Janet just volunteered to record my surgery for me cause I asked if anyone wanted to. She wont be there the whole time so I feel your "pain." I really don't mind being alone so much either...It is like a vacation from my annoyingly thin sisters... = D

I dont own a heating pad janet do I really one?....I am honestly packing less than that, I just have WHOLE LOT of cosmetic liquid stuff in that tiny one quart bag lol AND I have a lot of electrical stuff, digital cam, camcorder, laptop, I pod, Portable hard drive...lol ....Ill figure it out eventually ... definitely sooner than later..

Janet you KNOW that is just not happening with this lady....I JUST CANT allow myself to pack light, but I did find the other carry on with the wheels....I have some mental block, or may just retardation that will not allow me to pack lightly for anything.....You will see in the vid that I post, I SWEAR that IS light packing, SWEAR it..I am putting that video up Sunday... I am a train wreck...

Yeah so far the only thing I have purchased is that one thing of vanilla, and I made sure to get it from GNC cause you can exchange there with a receipt! = D Vanilla generally lends itself well to other flavor and wouldnt take much to make it taste like something nice lol ...ugh seriously my surgery cant get here soon enough now = /

Did your body adjust to it like it does most over the counter sleeping pills? Everything I take I end up having to take more of eventually because my body builds up tolerance to it? If not, I might need to try that = D

Thanks,

I am!! Thursday was my last day of school. So now I am just trying to wait it out. I KINDA started packing. Not much , mostly I was trying to clean up my room, I am sure I wouldn't want to deal with it when I come home so I took care of it before I left. I went on a relatively large shopping trip to GNC and Walmart to get stocked on SF Popsicles and chicken broth. I am gonna do a video Sunday of what I am taking along with me.. and maybe one before that giving measurement and a weigh in...At this poing I am looking for anything to keep me busy ....Getting a little nervous....Starting to eat everything in the house, but mostly excited = D

LOL I am not even close to being packed...I wont until probably Sunday...I am a last minute girl = D

Have any Unflavored Protein they need to get rid of, that they cant stomach? I can pay the shipping to get it to me = D Clean out those cabinets ladies and gentlemen = D

Thanks in advance
