Weird weird weirdness
My fingertips now go wrinkly if I'm not hydrated enough. Handy meter to keep an eye on it, but so weird. Anyone else getting wrinkly fingers?

Hey Ladies. I have no idea if I'm getting enough protein.... I should probably be measuring. I started my Multivitamins and that was reallly aweful. I was well nauseated by them, even though they were chewable - what was worse was I was on a bus into town when the nausea hit. worst. feeling. ever.
My pouch is not a morning pouch. My morning pills seem to drop in and hit the bottom of it with a thud. It also hates cold drinks, which sucks since I prepared a whole bunch of crystal lite ice cubes before surgery. A friend brought me some crystal lite back from the states (I live in New Zealand), and I was hoping since its summer here to have blended Ice for liquids (and to blend my fibre into lol). Sadly its room temperature "flavoured" Water for me...
I also Dumped for the first time last week because I was very very weak... I thought that if I mushed up a chip at the pub quiz I was at, that would be ok.... really really wasnt. Anyone else dumped yet?

Has anyone else noticed that their body odour has changed? Not just sweat related smells but... other emissions? Sometimes I go a bit cross eyed at the stink coming out of me...

day 1 post op, and I am so alive!!! Just had "Dinner" of chicken broth and a spoonful of yogurt. doing awesomely. shoulder pain from the gas, but its ok with the heat pack on it. been to the toilet, had visitors, just generally awesome! I am glad I get another night in hospital though, the moving bed helps heaps. Much love to all my loser sisters and brothers.

Wow what a dick. That made me so so so mad. No one can tell you you're eating the wrong thing except your surgeon, nut and yourself. Stuff him, the unsupportive git needs a good slapping. Angry on your behalf mommy

it is hard to stay on that diet. do you have myfitnesspal? it helped me a lot to stay on track. I worried the whole time about not losing the weight they wanted me too. I know
that if you gain it can be an issue an insurance and your surgeon can deny you. stay determined in why you are having the surgery and set yourself some little goals to achieve. also try substituting one or two meal with Protein Shakes and that will help as well. good luck!!!!

me three!

sheesh all you frisky people! I'm still pre-op but the pre-op diet has shut down my libido completely... don't know what I'll be like post op, but at least I don't have anyone elses "needs" to consider in this way...

Hey kauaigirl. I'm on day omgilostcountitsbeensolong preop diet and have fallen off the horsey damnit. But seriously have been on preop diet for 4 weeks now. Lost 20 pounds. Put 2 back on cos I wasn't careful. But head hungry all the time... 10 sleeps to go!!!!!

breathe, and hit a pillow. sometimes just crying helps release frustration and anger when there is no cause of it. I get seriously wacked out PMS where I am an emotional wreck. hormones EVERYWHERE. Having a cry and a cuddle with someone helps too. Someone who knows that your growling at them because you can't help it and that you dont mean it, who will just cuddle you and say yes shhh its ok.

that looks awesome! yay $7 awesome coat!! I have to say, I can't wait to be able to shop at snd hand shops properly! I'm always finding bargains for other people...

Sarah that's a great idea!!! I'm going to go home and start sewing so I can have 2 tops for while I'm in there

,9 days until my surgery. I am very excited and nervous!! Any advice or tips on what to expect about how fast do you lose after surgery??

Some moisturiser, tissues and a dirty magazine?

awesome you are doing so great. Doing a happy dance for you.

It took about 3 weeks before I started feeling better. You have been thru quite an ordeal... I dont think I worried about anything those first few weeks except Water because I didnt want to get dehydrated. Our bodies need time to adjust. I slept alot... it's what you need to heal. Plus most of us had or have enought fat to live off of for a week or so without malnutrion becoming an issue.

about a week and half oh and the more you lose ... the better it gets!!!!
