I had surgery on the 24th of May and just like you have been the same weight for a week solid now. But my pants are fitting better. I am drinking more water and i am able to do two meals a day now ( about 3oz of soup ). I found that the more I do, the better I feel. I do get tired but i recover sooner and faster. I take less naps and if I have to rest, it is for a shorter amount of time. So I have been doing more every day. Last night I returned my scale to Walmart!! I seriously can not keep stepping on that scale anymore lol!! my mood and disposition will just die very time the same number showed up! also today, I bought some unflavored protein so I can had to my soup because I knew I was not consuming enough protein. Finally I joined the GYM!! I am trying my best to win this:)

I have been using Sennakot. I take two a day and that does help.

very happy to see things are moving along for you!

wow! thank you so much for sharing

The hospital will give them to you. Long ago Macys offered a few selections.

you will be ok! what you had was not a fatty meal. But try to behave from now on, so your surgery can be a smooth one

How are you? hope all is well

OMG funny how you posted this! my sister made chili yesterday but with ground chicken and it was good. My serving was quickly run in the blender for a few seconds but it was so good. I was only able to eat 1/2 a cup of it for lunch, and I was full until I went to bed

The IV fluids is the reason for the gain. Walk as much as you can and sip your liquids! By next week things will be better

I was told I could walk about a mile or as tolerated. I start Sunday and I am looking forward to it:)

GREAT NEWS!!!

I met mine the day of surgery. She walked in, introduced herself, asked me the same questions that I was asked a billion times before, she wrote some stuff, scanned my chart, asked if I had a sleep study done, I said no. She did not look to happy about that but turned to the nurse and said I'm ready let's do this. I never saw her again.

hang in there! keep thinking there has to be a way for you to do this!

The first surgeon that I saw wanted me to lose 60lbs before he would consider doing my surgery (he's exact word to me)...I left broken. My surgeon placed me on a clear liquid diet and asked me to lose 10lbs before surgery. So it all depends on the surgeon and how they approach the surgery. Hang in there you will find someone. My friend's BMI was 73 at the time of surgery. He was required to do a full liquid diet two weeks before surgery and lost 20lbs

I agree with the last two posters! your surgeon needs to step up here. Be proactive and stay on top of them..

you will be fine!! and are you really Zoe?! Sak pase?!?

you are doing an amazing job! I hope I can do the same:)

please keep us updated... prayers+love+hugs+positive thoughts coming your way!!!!
