  1. Ok, still sore and moving slowly. Did anyone else get the sock things that contract and deflate while you are sleeping? I have passed some gas. I think this is a milestone. Still feel like I have tons throughout my body. Ok, off to Protein shake with my via mixed in.
  2. Honey said no baths. .. hot shower as soon as he is ready to supervise
  3. Glad you all posted... my stomach rumbles, I wish I could pass the gas... starting liquid poops yesterday 2 days post op. I wish the gurgling would stop.

  5. Found miso... earning a nap by walking Kroger
  6. Woke up at 4am went for walk at 6, drank protein shake as directed, walked again at 8. So sore and achy. Plan on drinking broths and water all day. I potty every hour and just sit and trickle. Bored and don't feel up to anything.... sigh.
  7. He was told I could get blood clots and have a stroke. His mom had a stroke.,, he was also told that my lungs partially collapsed and i have to suck on this breathing thing... I times out of ten I am ok with him pushing me... then I lose my head and cry, calling him mean. I m really not myself.
  8. Wow that sounded pretty drugged. Heh. I think the pain I feel is from hernia repair. I am having no trouble drinking warm or cold. Just those muscles under my l left chest area hurt like a biatch. Codeine in 1.5 hours
  9. I got home from surgery around noon. My husband made me walk 15 minutes before getting in to bed. Then I woke up to having to use the restroom. He didn't answer his phone and I started freaking out. I made it and heard him in kitchen. I called over and over and he answered but didn't come. I just burst into tears and haven't stopped yet. He is hitching about finding sugar free jello. I love him. Had no idea his bedside manner sucked..., not sure why I am so teary.
  10. Headed home has pain horrible.. driving well riding hurts
  11. Leaving in 10 minutes... not as nervous today probably because I am half asleep. Check back and let you know how it goes!
  12. I have gummy vitamins, and was wondering if they will be problem after surgery... anybody have experience? Also chewable calcium citrate
  13. I decided to do half servings of my isopure zero carb... in the mornings I throw in a Starbucks via. Then I just drink a half serviing when hungry...
  14. Both I guess... looking to soothe inside and out.
  15. The video by the Aussie says you can drink. Someone recently posted his videos
  16. Just wondering if warm or cold was more soothing after surgery...
  17. My heartburn was indicator of hietal hernia. Insurance paid for all but 2500. Aetna. TrueResults
  18. Images added to a gallery album owned by Seymour1971 in Member Photo Gallery
    These are some pictures I don't like of myself... I never feel as heavy as I am. I feel like a bright and shiny teeny. :)
  19. I was wondering if anyone knew of brands of miso so I can send DH to store? He can only get what I specifically say... sucha sweet, but concrete man.
  20. I met my hubby at 18... I was FINE FINE. We went our own ways for 20 years and got married 4 years ago.. he still loved me 100 lbs Heavier. He is quietly supportive of the WLS. I love him and we have never been happier. I wouldn't mind if men flirted more, and I don't worry about my straying eyes. Even at this weight I have guys trying to flirt. Not tempted at all.
  21. I am feeling quite blue. I am a therapist and cancelled all clients that could wait until after. I just am in a funk and can't be the therapist I normally am. I just want Friday to hurry up... I am scared and blue... practicing all the skills I preach to my clients... soothe (without food) and exercise
  22. I am approaching my date of 31st. Two week pre op diet. Lost 12 lbs so far... what are the averages for people?
  23. Blah... this is a support forum, not a verbal argument forum. I appreciate others for their support. I know you aren't giving medical advice, and can only share your experience. That validation was what I was seeking, and I thank you for that. As for the judgmental tone, I could do without that. So comment on another thread, buddy, and leave support to those people who are capable of empathy.
