  1. Thank you everyone! I have lost 18 pounds! Hope everyone is doing well!
  2. Today is my last day of a liquid diet. Did one week pre op and one week post op. I am so proud of myself! For all those who are in their first stages and feel you can't do it, I was there. I cried, I was hungry and frustrated. Just remember you can do it!!!
  3. I had my surgery July 2nd and the first 3 days I thought I was going to die. It was so hard I was in so much pain. I also had a hiatal hernia, which still bothers me a lot. This website and pain meds is what got me through. You can do it! I did and didn't think I would make it.
  4. There were no symptoms for me. I didnt know I had it till I came out of surgery. It hurts now but didn't before. The dr said it was as big as his thumb.
  5. Congrats !!! You both look so happy!
  6. I am glad you are doing better ! I'm post op 3 days so only a few more days. Thanks !
  7. Yes. That is what I mean. I am in so much pain! How long till the pain was gone ? Hope you are in no more pain!
  8. Did anyone come out of surgery with a Hiatal hernia ? Does it hurt like mine does?
  9. Thanks everyone. I cried just reading what everyone had to say. THANK YOU!
  10. I had my surgery July 2nd. I am really emotional. Can't stop crying. Anyone go through that?
  11. Tomorrow is the big day! I was never worried about the surgery. I am worried I'll wake up and say what the hell did I just do!!
  12. Great job!!! We are Cheering you on!
  13. I know no straw after the surgery. I used it for the purpose of getting it down quick and not have a gag reflex.
  14. I don't k know what it is called. Maybe milk magnesia. Lol.
  15. If someone came up to me I would tell them it is none of their business and walk away.
  16. I am worried that after doing my one week liquid diet mine won't be small too. I wish there was a way to check lol I am proud of myself for not cheating. I got close many times.
  17. I am getting banded tomorrow too!! Feels good k owing someone is going through the same thing at the same time! We can do this, keep in touch!
  18. I just took my malca magnesia and it was easier than I thought. Drank it with a straw! Goes Down faster!
  19. This is amazing! Great job ! This is motivating for sure!
