What an amazing accomplishment, keep up the good work.

Yes lol. So sleepy

After two weeks liquid diet, surgery on Tuesday and a couple of days not being able to eat at all.... Today is the start of my pureed diet. I had 1/2 cup yogurt at breakfast. And lunch I had 2oz tuna and 2oz. Mixed veggies pureed. All I can say is canned tuna never tasted so good. I'm glad I can keep food down. Dr did fill me a little at the time of surgery so it does take about an half hour to 45 minutes to eat. The wait has been worth it. Also I got really sleepy after eating, anyone else experience this?

Oh man, I just had some gas x. I feel 100x better way easier to.breathe. I tried walking around the house, then the block and nothing worked, until the gas x. I wish I had gotten it sooner

I kinda figured it would be silly lol. The meds do help take the edge off. I think I can remember the Dr saying he had.to reapair a hernia, but I was so dopped up I could have imagined it. I will call in a couple hours. Thank you all for the.well wishes. I think I went into this thinking my pain.threshold was higher. I am extremely happy I did it. Side question. Did anyone else find it hard to eat after, I'm not hungry at all

Yes I do have meds and yea I have taken them. Still hurts :/

I plan to, it is only 5am

I was bandee yesterday and let me tell you I'm in so much pain. The surgeon told my husband it took longer than expected, but DH did not ask why. I am in so much pain where the port is I think. Also to add insult to injury I gained 5lbs. So far I am not hungry at all, and I've been sipping water, and I'm in the most pain I've ever been in..

Thank you very much, I'm so excited I cant sleep lol

Tomorrow is the day! My surgery is at 2:15pm PST if all goes well. I have done great with the clear liquid diet the past two days, the pre op diet, I did have a few tiny little bumps, I hope that doesn't effect me with getting the surgery. I have lost a total of 15 lbs pre op. I cleaned out my closet and got rid of those close that are, ya know, easy to grow into, and found some jeans that are adorable and tiny. i'm so excited to be able to get into them soon. wish me luck. See you on the other side. xoxo. Cass

I have a similar problem. My husband eats nothing but fast food 2-3 times a day. He doesn't have a weight problem, no cholesterol, no diabetes. He's a perfectly healthy (young) man. I hate him sometimes. I have been starving myself on this 100% liquid diet for the past two weeks and full Clear liquids for the past two days. The only thing I can say is be an example. Why cook two meals? Make something healthy for your family too, it'll eliminate temptation for you and, if they don't eat it they can fend for themselves. I am making no plans to cook anything special for my husband, if he wants something different, he can take his wallet and his car to go get it, or make it himself. Think this is YOUR health, not your husbands, not your kid's, not your sisters, not your mothers. They might not like you now, but when you are healthier and alive longer i'm sure they will see your intentions (or mine in this case)

I feel your pain. I have been on 100% liquid diet since Wednesday and had a moment of weakness that lead to some Sushi. I got right back on track, I don't feel guilty and I actually lost a few more pounds. It is all mind over matter, if you think it you can do it. Thin like a thin person. Pick up a pen and doodle or write how you are feeling instead of eating to cure your stress. You can do this!

My surgery was moved two days sooner to Tuesday the 28th and now I feel a little bit rushed. I have questions for you all. What are things you wish you got done before surgery? What are things you wished you brought to the hospital with you? What are things you did to prepare for surgery? I want to start a checklist.

I just ordered the Unjury starter kit and the big order of the Chicken Soup protein I'm excited to try, I've heard great things.

Congrats Rachael, I hope that you are healing well. You made it!!
