I did a deep cond. treatment on my daughter of olive oil and conditioner mixed. It worked wonders. Look it up. Some people's hair hates protein and with WLS that's what we get most of!

Mine was very low in the hospital! They were constantly watching it. In the 40's and lower

I have a problem!!! I have never been one to drink a lot of fluids even before surgery and now I'm finding it terribly difficult to drink my liquids. What do I do? I could go all day and drink nothing. I am a week post op today I was sleeved September 28th. I was clear liquids until yesterday now I'm full liquid what does that mean. And btw burps hurt!!!

To all my fellow Sept 28th sleevers. Where are you and how are you feeling? We are 5 days out now and I am very curious about everyones progress or setbacks.

I can't have protein for another week and I've been eating the pop cicles and jello I'm just tired of sweet stuff! Did anyone have major belly rumbling?

Where do you find the gas x strips at?

Had my sleeve surgery Friday the 28th. I got out of the hospital Saturday with a clear liquid diet. Today is the first day I'm hungry! Clear liquid only I've had smart water and chicken bullion so now what?

Home now and was fine with going in the hospital went quite a bit but now not much

Nope no pain or pressure I am 2 days post op and its driving me crazy

Has anyone had trouble using the Bathroom? It feels like I will explode then when I sit down nothing! Is that normal

Is it normal to gain weight after surgery!!?? My surgery was Friday and now I'm up 6.8lbs. Grrrrr

Well I had some pain when I woke up. most of it in and under my chest but I also had a hernia repair. They did a complete cardio work up and everything was fine! It's hard to up out of bed but walking does help a lot! I'm home now and starting to feel tons better! Mainly bloated and swollen in my belly. I didn't have a drain tube! Would I do it all again. YES YES YES!

Surgery is over. I am very sore lots of gas in chest area Am Happy it's over wouldn't change a thing!!'

IT'S FINALLY HERE! I'm up and getting ready to shower! Leaving for hospital at 4:30 am surgery at 6!! OMG thank you everyone on this forum for all the kind words and help getting thru this! Lets go September 28th sleevers. We are about to be on the losers side!!! Love to you all!

I have surgery tomorrow and I actually put a piece of cheese stick in my mouth chewed it up and spit it out!!! Talk about hungry!!!

Try beef broth!

Oh I so feel your pain!!! I am on my last day of clear liquids with surgery tomorrow morning! Pop cicles sf jello. All the raw veggies you can snack on! If you just push thru you can do it!!! Be sure and get in your water! Drink 8oz of water before your protein Shake. It helps a million!!! Good luck to you!!!

I got the call!!! Surgery tomorrow at 8 am, be at hospital by 6 am!!! It really is going to happen lol. YAY

Thank you CoCo! And everyone else.

It's finally here my September 28th friends! One more day! Can you believe it's already here? I'm nervous, hungry, relieved, excited. But most of all READY!!! Announce yourselves and your story and be proud of yourself because tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives!!!

Is it actually possible to gain weight during your colon cleanse? I started it today and have been losing steady but today I've gained 1.3 lbs. SERIOUSLY how does that even happen when on clear liquids? My surgery is Friday and I am so confused!!!

I'm 2 days away from surgery and started my cleanse today and I've gained 1.3 lbs how the heck is that even possible. I'm on clear liquids it doesn't add up

Central time zone and magnesium citrate 10oz and I should be drinking more fluid I'm sure!

I took my cleanse meds at about 10:30 am and not much has happened?!? Is that normal I feel like there should be more or will this continue for a while. Sorry if its tmi

I understand your fear! My surgery is Friday and that's all I can think about as well! I do however believe everyone is different and it will all depend on your body and what it can handle! All will be ok. Think of the bigger picture! A skinner you! There are so many pluses in this situation! Food luck to you!
