ALIGAYLE

My husband calls it "chewbacca" because of all the crazy noises. I am 2 months out.

Hey Kate! I am doing wonderfully WELL! I am down 36 lbs as of today, and I have never throw up. Not to say I haven't been nauseus (sp) but thats mostly when I overeat....which I have learned to not do, but it still catches me off guard occasionally especially when something is really delicious...lol. That preop diet is only 3 days but its no joke. Drink your protein shakes, follow the instructions , be a good girl. My liver was still large during surgery, even though I followed it to the letter. If you ever want to chat, let me know....

preetyfatchic-I too have been praying that I am not the only person that this surgery doesn't work for....lol. I would contact your nutritionist and step away from the scale for a few days.

Sad for you but happy that you aren't putting up with some really tiresome behavior!

Hows everybody doing??? I am 18 pounds down in 2 weeks since my preo-op diet. Couldn't be happier! Now if everyone in my house would just eat cold sandwiches for the next 6 weeks till I can go back to some type of regular food (so I can't SMELL THEIR FOOD!!) But they won't, selfish people...lol. Hope you all are doing great!

Maybe some foods with lots of protein too....like greek yogurt. Some brands have 23g. of protein per cup and I sweeten mine with Torani SF syrup (vanilla).

Wow! That mustv'e been awful.. I have heard that hormones can do that. Are you PMSing?

I like PB2 as well... I just don't think I can use it yet at 6 days out from surgery.

I am 6 days out and feeling really good. Some pain if I gulp water or whatever I am drinking, but I also had my hialtal hernia repaired at the same time so I sort of expected it. I had my sister here for a week helping me out and keeping me company. I think that had made the biggest difference. She was great about reminding me to walk etc. So far I am down 14 pounds in 11 days..(including 3 days pre-op). I start my full liquids tomorrow....can't wait for some applesauce! Glad to hear everyones story! Hope everyone just gets better and better!

Good luck everyone-just had mine last week and I am doing really well! Already down 14 lbs!!

Hello scaredoftheunknown and jiji-I am also having my sleeve done on Thursday. I've got enough stuff for about a week, then I figure I'll send the hubby out for some things... Wishing you both the absolute best on Thursday!
