Good Luck to you!! Everything will be fine and go smoothly and quickly =) Prayer heading out your way!! Yay!!

Well I've been post op since June 4th and haven't been able to sleep like before. I was always able to get my good 6-8 hrs of sleep daily maybe even throw in a nap. Now it's been 2-3 hours if in lucky. Today I noticed that when I went to bed It was on my back and usually I turn then fall asleep but my body isnt doing my normal sleep movements. Will this get better or is the is? I miss my old sleeping habits. This new sleeping sucks :/

Me too I start purée on Saturday sooo looking forward to it !!

Mine was Jube 4th too and I also dropped 18 !! Wooowooo!!!

Cool deal thanks. Just updated it. Anxious aren't we to start mushy food lol how far out from surgery are you?

Awesome so then 600 is reasonable? Just wanted to make sure my goal wasn't too much lol. Thank you

How many calorie intake is good to put on MyFitnessPal for goal? I start my purée on Saturday and want to start using MyFitnessPal again.

I had half and egg with cheese.. and ketchup on the side =) Loved it!!!! WOW .. You learn to appreciate food and water. I set my timer for 30 mins after I ate and had me some water.. Feels soo good =)

Can we add ketchup to the egg? Not a salsa fan lol

Their plan says I can. I'm just scared to put too much into my new stomach. I just ate three spoons of it n started burping.

I've been in water, pudding, Popsicles and broth. Can I start any other foodl now? I bought me some cream of chicken. Cab I have that yet? Just wondering. I have my doc appt tomorrow but wanted to see what y'all think.

Thanks ladies.. I did a high goal weight.. I can't imagine hitting Onderland.. but hey.. You never know huh lol

I feel great! Thank you =)

Ames here =) I was sleeved on Monday June 4th 2012... I was freaking nervous going in but hey.. I made it!! I was rolled into the surgery room by these tiny Asian women.. I swear I thought they were gonna bust out dancing like the ones in Gwen Stefani's Videos lol. It's very true when they rolled me into the operating room the doc with the Anesthesia told me to inhale and all i remember is inhaling 4 times then waking up in recovery lol A Snap!! The nurse that was watching over me kept asking me if I felt any pain and if I wanted some meds for it.. I remembered reading on a lot of posts that if they ask if you want meds SAY YES!! I never said no haha.. I swear he injected me like 10 times and it kept making me doze off. I was in the recovery from 12:30-7:30 pm since there weren't any rooms available for me booo.. Its okay I got a lot of rest and sleep after the surgery that as soon as they took me into my room I was asking to get up and go to the restroom I NEEDED TO PEE!! I finally pee'd and went out to the hallway for a walk. I felt all this pressure in my chest from the gas. I was in the hospital for 2 nights 2 1/2 days. After having my Barium swallow the doc said he thought my esophagus was too tight and needed me to wait on the liquids until later that afternoon to check if the swelling would go down. Two days without drinking anything was tough but I was strong and didn't let it show that I was freaking dying haha.. Well after the second Barium Swallow which was nasty as hell... He released me.. I had my first sip of Water like BAM!! lol When my surgeon went to go see me on Wednesday morning he released me. He said since I had a lot more weight to drop he had made my esophagus a little tighter but I was able to keep my liquids down and the jellos and juices. All in all.. It wasn't that bad =) for my first ever surgery and first ever being in the hospital. I was a TROOPER!! 1/4/2012 STARTING WEIGHT 393 6/4/2012 DAY OF SURGERY 377 6/9/2012 FIVE DAYS AFTER SURGERY 364 --- 29 LBS DOWN =) YAY!!!

There's just something about chocolate I love and to think even after the surgery I can still have it + it's good for me. I take Bariatic Fusion Chocolate Protein Shake mmmmmmm can't wait to drink the other half tonight haha

I hate walking so slow lol

After two days without anything to drink after surgery.,, then pure clear liquids Wednesday-Friday. I feel like a kid enjoying a chocolate protein shake yummmm yummmm yummmm lol I can move around a lot better now too. Now all I need is to go to my house and sleep on my bed

I'm on the couch surgery on Monday june 4th and I'm exhausted I can't sleep. I tend to sleep on the left side till I fall asleep n roll over on belly not seeing that happen to soon. I'm gna give my bed a try tomorrow hopefully it will feel ok

I have no regrets as I start recovering from surgery. I'm excited to see where this journey will take me

I misspelled tons lol my trick=truck and droppie= droopie hahahaha I miss laughing oh I wish I could laugh !!! Bwahahahahaha

I sneezed yesterday!! Oh my Lawd lol. It felt like the longest sneeze ever haha. I called my docs office n got some meds for the acid reflux still waiting for my sister to get it for me. I miss driving other than that I'm feeling pretty good

My friend gained 10 lbs too. He said it was because of the liquids pumped into you. I lost 1 lb when I got home from hospital. We are all different. And that 11 lbs you will prob pee out hopefully.
