    Afraid to call

    Congratulations!!!!! I know the feeling. I was jumping up and down when I got mine. I was shaking the whole day telling myself "this is it, it's real now"
  5. I am 4 days post op and can't remember for how long am I suppose to be on clear liquids. I was on clear liquids 5 days before surgery, so it's been 9 days so far. I don't plan on progressing till I get clearance from doc but just wondering, for how long are your stages after surgery and what were they?
  6. Anybody lose 60 -100 pounds and DOES NOT have excess skin?

    Before and after pic!

    Do you have any shaggy skin issues?
  8. How long after surgery were you able to sleep in your tummy?
  9. I only sleep on my tummy so I hope not. Right now I've been sleeping on my side with a pillow because I'm still a bit soar.
  10. Hi wlq! While at the doc, If you can ask about the abdomen swelling that would be great !
  11. I had a drain. It was removed on day 3 when I left the hospital and yes you do feel better. You are able to stand up straight more and it's like a big weight lifted. Also if you have staples on your incisions, once removed you will feel back to normal.
  12. OMG thanks for reminding me about measurements. I haven't thought about that. Xmas eve was horrible for me. I barely left my room. the 4th and 5th day after surgery was when I felt crazy hungry.

    Excess Skin

    That can definitely be a factor. I heard a toning cream from MaryKay is really good. I'm going to give it a shot lol

    Excess Skin

    Penny, thank you so much for replying. Do you exercise? Is there something specific you do in terms of exercise that is helping? I plan on losing about 80pounds and really would like to avoid plastics.
  15. Has anyone been sent home after surgery with medication other then pain killers? My surgeon told me he called in a blood thinner twice but the pharmacy keeps telling me they don't have the order, as in its never been placed. I am just wondering if I that med is something I absolutely need. If so I would need to call him on Xmas.

    LIQUID PROTEIN

    Great! I am only allowed protein shots and its disgusting!!!!! To top it off i need to take 4 per day!!!! i am not allowed any kind of protein. Shakes.
  17. I was told absolutely no straw. It gives gas.
  18. I've been on clear since 12/14 and I was told it stays like that till 1/8. Even then I don't think it will change I feel the same way as you super hungry but I'm scared to do full liquids
  19. Does anyone know is Ensure Clear is good? It has 9g of protein but 130 calories.
  20. I can totally relate. I am just 5 days post op and still on Clear Liquids till who knows when. I have my NUT appt on 1/8/13 and am hoping I can progress to Atleast full liquids. I'm Hispanic and we go all out with the food on Xmas and New Years. The smell in my house from all the cooking is driving me crazy. I'm really starting to have buyers remorse. Atleast think wth did I do this before the holidays. It's soooo hard!!!!

    Liquid diet?

    Yesterday in the middle of the night like at 4am I had to get up and eat a SF jello because my stomach would not stop growling. It wouldn't make let me sleep, it was bothersome. I aye the jello then I was fine. I see my doc tomorrow and hopefully he says I can move to Atleast full liquids. I really don't like feeling the growling at all.

    Liquid diet?

    Hi traci, How are you doing? I am home now. Got home yesterday night. not much pain. I get a burning sensation from 2 of the incisions and I've noticed if I walk it goes away.

    Liquid diet?

    Ok so John was your first 2 weeks clear liquids or full liquids? You and kapoor seem to be similar, I think mine will be the same. My doc is also very conservative.
