DeAna well I'm day 6 days post and am feeling great. I still tire easy and I still have the gas in my left shoulder.....nothing I can't handle. I'm just sore at the port but other than that I'm doing. I'm returning to work tomorrow and looking forward to it. I chose to take a week off and have enjoyed my time. How are you? Best wishes and blessing Tammy

I had my surgery on May 11th. The first day was good just really think about drinking your fluids. My favorite fluids were sugar free popsicles and chicken or beef broth. The broth even has some protein in it. My second day seemed to be the worst if you could call it that. My biggest pain is where my port is but even that isnt that bad. My throat hurt because he fixed a hiatal hernia and the tube I guess. I think that's why the popsicles and broth felt so good. Plus I think for each popsicle has 1 oz of fluid. Anyways this is day 4 post op and feeling so much better!! I've increased my shake from 4 oz to 6 oz not because I feel hungry but I need to get my protein in. I have never felt hungry either which I find amazing!!! My husband has been fixing dinner for him and our son and it hasnt even bothered me. I have the mind set to do this and not fail!!!! Plus most of all I have God's grace to help me. He is such a merciful God and will always be right by our side. If you have any questions just ask would love to help!!! Tammy

I have these and they are great in my opinion!!! Well worth the money!!!

Much easier than my c-section!! I can get out of my chair all by myself!!!! I'm a big girl!!! LOL

You can do this!! ya know how many bottles I drank that were a big mac, fries oh and chinese?? That's how I made it through...it's mind over matter sweetie and you can do this. I had my surgery this morning and am so glad I followed the direction..Best of luck Tammy

That's right!!! I've got a lot to live for!!! And thank you!!

Here's another question. I'm trying to get my picture on the before and after and can't seem to find where to do that.

Thank you

Thank you

Good evening everyone!! Well I have to be at the hospital at 7am. The said I will have the surgery with in the hour of that. I am very nervous and a couple of times today I almost had myself talked out of it. That will not happen though!!! Anyways I would love your prayers and I will try and post tomorrow.

Well the shakes powder that I bought was from Walmart and it's nasty. Now the shakes from the docs office I liked but I went the cheaper route.

According to my doc it is counted as your water. The broth that I found is College Inn and it was beef flavor and I loved it. One other thing I've been drinking vanilla whey Protein shakes and they are nasty!! I'm not going to waste it so I've been experimenting and found that if I take 6 to 8 oz of Powerade zero to my one scoop it tastes pretty good.

My plan is to be on here Friday night to let everyone know!!

My surgery is Friday as well!!! I've lost 6 so far and I'm not sure as to how much I should lose my doc never told me. I'm guessing it all depends on the doc. I didnt have to start my liquids until tomorrow but started it today!! I'm kinda freaking out about my liver not being small enough!! Anyways good luck on Friday and keep me posted on how you do and are doing.

Go Girl!!! Keep it up!!!

I have UHC and didnt need to do the 6 months. I know that the teachers in my area had until the end of last year to have the surgery b/c UHC wasnt going to cover it anymore. A couple of teacher friends that had it done had to do the 6 months. I on the other hand did not.

Thanks y'all for the help!!

I need some help in finding the right kind of vitamins for me. 1500 mg of citrate calcium ......multi vit with iron. Has to be chewable or liquid.......any advise please!!

Can anyone tell me how to get the tracker that shows your weight loss? I believe it has something to do with the tickler thing. I would like to put this on my profile. Thanks for the help!!

Thanks DaBlockzPRbabii

I will be having my surgery May 11 and was wondering the name of the book and arthur please.
