I everyone! I go in tomorrow at 530am. I'm scared and worried. Dieting was hard. I lost 10 #. I got a lil dry cause my lips were starting to crack n my urine got concentrated...I am so sick of the protein drinks and the gatorade2...I'm worried about getting dehydrated after surgery when I go home. I hope I ll be able to go to work after 2 weeks. Please say a prayer for a speedy recovery and peace of mind.. Thank you all

It is so hard to make ur self drink when u don't want to...I got tired of the canned broths, Gatorade2, but my fiancé took me to a lil ole in the wall on the south side of town n got some mex soup,,caldo de res but drank the broth...ohhhhhh it was so goooddddd....yummmmmm.we also got some fruit flavored water, like cantaloupe water, watermelon water, pineapple water. No sugar. I make sure my water n drinks r nice and cold...I also made some Popsicle out of them as we'll... My tummy is so happy....I'm 10 days postoperative. The dr said I can try some yogurt, sugar free puddings.mushy mash potatoes, .I'm soooo happy.". But I eat very slowly n 1/2 tsp at a time..I know how to appreciate these lil baby steps...my tummy lets me know when enough is enough..the dr has me on nectar whey protein isolate to help me get my protein in...it's tasteless n I mix it with whatever I eat or drink..I'm down 22lbs.my clothes r loose n some old. Smaller sizes r fitting me.. Finally .....I do go through some emotional times but after a good cry I'm fine...if my urine gets dark I try n drink more...I'm a happy girl for now, whew!

To All, I really appreciate all the positive input from fellow sleeves! The recipes and healthy tips to better eating...I know I need to eat small portions very slowly but frequently. I get depressed when I see my family enjoying my cooking but it's bcs I want to eat as well. I am so happy today I went to the barrio where they make flavored drinks out of fruit. They made me cantloupe Water, watermelon water, pineapple water...i got some nectar whey Protein isolate to add to my favored water..for protein..i also got some spanish Soup caldo de res but drank the broth...ohhhhhh it was so goooddddd....yummmmmm..I'm 10 days postoperative. The dr said I can try some yogurt, sugar free puddings.mushy mash potatoes, .I'm soooo happy.". But I eat very slowly n 1/2 tsp at a time..I know how to appreciate these lil baby steps...my tummy lets me know when enough is enough..

Italian lady, what did u eat 7 days post op.?..I'm so tired of broth, jello, muscle milks, G2...

I forgot to mention, I guess I was one of the lucky ones bcs, I did not exp. any gas pains...or bloating..I had incisional pain for about 2-3days. On the 4th day took pain med once and now completely off.im walkin around real well. But I do get tired...exhausted..

Good morning! Well, I'm having a hard time getting fluids down. I'm tired of the G2, Water, muscle milk.. I can only take small drinks.. I was so used to gulping my fluids but now, OMG. I have to drink like a lady! Ahhhhaa, I'm down 20 #. Today is day 6... I can see the weight loss in my face, hands and neck...and ESP in the scale.. I can't believe I'm actually cooking a lot of good meals for my family n I'm not even tasting it ...miss eating with them.. Yesterday, the only thing I had was a 32oz of G2.. I need to think of a way to get my Protein and fluids in...any ideas.. I love the sugar free Jello, hate Popsicles. Tired of broth...

Hi everyone, I'm doing quite well. Everything is fine. Dr Yu found a hernia around the esophagus and some scar tissue withe the Lapband. I got down 3ozs in an hour. It hurt at first but the lortab elixir helped vs the morphine. I walked around on the unit 4times today { 5times each round} . They stopped the morphine it caused me to itch all over which is one of the side effects n knocked me out. 2 of my IVs came out yesterday n the staff waited 1 1/2 hrs before the restarted the IV that the only time I was in pain..I was cruing my head off. I told the dr what happened n got very upset with the staff.. N lastly, the AC went out at MN till 0210 the morning, it was soooo hot. Thank u all for ur prayers...all in all I'm doing great S
