I know a handful of people that have had wls and about 50% divorced or left their boyfriend. It's sad that happens. Sorry you went through that but there will be better days ahead.

Another Reason Not To Tell People.....
liz32 replied to Queen of Crop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only 2 weeks out but a friend asked me adding pre & post op weight loss how much I had lost total. When I told her 67 she looks at me & laughs and said thats my 7 year old. I just smiled because I don't think she meant it the way it sounded but I've learned a lesson not the share that info with anyone again. I actually told them to stop asking me because that info was off limits. -

So over the weekend my tongue became gray & I had a funny taste in my mouth. I'm a nurse so thrush had crossed my mind but I figured it has been 2 weeks since surgery so you would think if thats what it was it would have happened way before now. Today the PA told me she thinks I have thrush. Not really a huge deal other that the gray tongue is driving me crazy. Did this happen to anyone else from all the IV antibiotics? On a brighter note today was my first day back to work I'm sleepy but I survived

Single in Tennessee, 2 weeks out tomorrow. My romantic life in the past has been a train wreck to be honest due to my low self esteem but hoping that will change & I'll stop going out with Mr. Wrong.

liz32 replied to ebthompson2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm only 4 days out so my confessions my sound silly 1. It gets under my skin that one of my family members eats/drinks all my stuff when they can have whatever they want. Really is sf jello, popsicles, and flavored water became your fav foods now? 2. I don't like the fact that people are already asking me how much weight I have lost when it's only been 4 days. I lie and say that I have not weighed. 3. I'm addicted to this site and spark people (trying to find recipes that will satisfy cravings for fried food, carbs, and sweets when the time comes) 4. I find it interesting how much people talk and think about food. It seems like everything evolves around food! I had never really noticed until I started my pre op diet. 5. I feel like this is the best decision that I've ever made for myself and I hope that never changes and I do not have huge regrets later on. p.s. I am afraid that I will have major issues with extra attention from guys. I will basically be the same person then that I am now. If I'm not lovable now why would I all of a sudden become more lovable because I've lost weight. I secretly hope I can find someone to be with who has had WLS themselves so they will understand the struggle. -

I'm only 4 days post op so i really can't answer this question but I suggest looking at sparkpeople.com and chose the low carb option for their recipes there are a handful of high protein/low carb bread substitute ideas listed. I haven't tried any pre op but plan to when i can.

It should get better. I'm up to 50 oz of liquids today because I'm making myself. I just now tried jello for the first time just for some variety and i do believe that this sf peach jello is the best tasting stuff on the face of the earth, lol.

Thank you for checking in. Im a little tired and Im only getting in 42-48 oz of water a day but no pain or complaints. Im hoping Im getting enough water. I plan on getting up at my regular time starting in the morning so I have more time to sip.

Im a little sore where they removed the stomach and Im getting about 42-48 oz of water a day the last 2 days. I have slept in so I plan to get up at my regular time starting tomorrow so I have more time to sip. Sipping doesn't hurt but i get full and tired of sipping all day. I've been home 2 1/2 days and all i've done is sip. I have all these popsicles and Jello and all I have had since I came home is water and 1 popsicle.

Im 2 days post op and feeling good. The first day was the worse with the gas pain in my left shoulder but once that went away I have been great just a lil sore. Today is my first full day home so Im really trying to make sure I get my fluids in and walk. I was nervous to take my morning meds today but they did not seem to upset the princess like the swallow study or the 2 hour ride home did yesterday. I hope that this continues no real pain, nausea, etc. I had read a lot of horror stories pre op so I was aware of the good and bad. I feel very blessed that God has brought me through to this point with little discomfort and I have faith that he will continue to help me out. How are all the other October 29th sleevers doing?

Thanks, good luck to you.

I have on average 5 protein drinks per day (I have to have 100 g a day). I also eat sf Popsicles & fudge pops (my surgon said the fudge pops would be fine, I would check with your surgon) I can also have chicken/beff/veggie broth but it's a lil to salt for me so I don't eat that often. I'm on a 2 week liquid diet & I have lost 15 lbs sine 10/15 for a total pre op weight loss of 50 lbs my surgery is 10/29 & I'm so ready to be on the other side. My best advise is don't try a premix protien & expect the power version to taste the same. I did this with isopure I could tolerate the premix it wasn't to bad so I bought the powder & it's one of the most disgusting things I've put in my mouth, so $100 later & a cabinet full of isopure I had to go to Wal Mart in search of something I could tolerate. EAS & the bullets have been a huge blessing. I mix the bullets in my water because I have to get at least 64 oz a day so I'm getting water & protien at the same time. I hope this helps give you an idea.

Had my pre op visit today,everything is good to go for Monday (10/29), 5 more days of this slow moving liquid diet....I'm excited

I'm on day 4, this has not been as bad as I thought it would be but I'm loosing all desire to eat or drink anything other than water & my sf Popsicles. I down my protein because I have to. Things that tasted good to me before like my caffeine/sf tea turns my stomach....did anyone else experience this change in taste during your liquid diet?
