ok I was kinda wondering if its all this liquid...... so the Constipation comes later eh :thumbup: lol

Im 1 week post op now and overall feel pretty good. The only problem im having and maybe its normal is my stool in very watery (brown):thumbup: and lots of noise from my stomach, steady and loud. I read where a couple of you had the opposite problem being constapated. Is this normal what I have? Im still on the Clear Liquids maybe thats it?

I didnt tell most of my family either till I was already on the way. Some found out the day of the surgery. Not because they wouldnt have supported me but because you know going to mexico and all, there would have been nothing but worry.
Fromheadtotoe I know how you must feel as I just had mine done last week and i was close to cutting my losses backing out but after the support I got from here I did it and feel great after 5 days.... I dont even feel like nothing was really done except im full and loosing weight :thumbup1:

Well its finally done. Im sleeved. Tue nov.10 first day of a new life. Since I started the pre op diet on oct 25 till today (sunday nov 15) I have lost 29lbs.:crying: I saw Dr.Alvarez in Mexico. I have had no pain and no problems so far. No acid problems that I hear others having. Im probaly not getting enough Water but im trying. Im just full all the time. I think Dr. Alvarez is a super nice guy and very profesional. I would rate my experiance with the whole thing a 10 / 10

I drank the "boost" drinks and "ensure" also I drank the powder whey drinks. It wasnt so bad. Right now im on the 1 week of Clear Liquids post op and have been drinking those "protine bullets" because they are clear. Now that is a terrible drink. I almost threw up a couple times I bought 3 weeks supply and as it turns out I only needed about 10 days at the most. Dont know what to do with the rest :crying:

Hi Lucygoose
Bigdd had surgery today at 9 a.m. and was back in the room by 10:10, he has pretty much slept the afternoon away but woke up around 4:30 -coherent. He says so far he is in no pain. The nurses are 100% nice. Tomorrow he is to get up and start walking. The Dr's and the Anestesiologist are also very nice - :thumbup:

Im on day 6 of my 16 day pre op. liquid diet. Im actually quite suprized with myself. I love to eat. I havent really felt hungry yet. As of this morning I have lost 9 lbs. If I could keep this up for a year i wouldnt need any operation but as we all know that wont happen and I will be back in the same boat. I have my operation on Nov. 10 with Dr. Alvarez.Mexico. I was excited about it until a few days ago, then I started to get nervious. Cant wait till its over. :thumbup1:

Well I do feel better about going now......I did almost back out of it today. 2 weeks today. How do you get that weight loss scale I see some of you have?
