confidence

Congrats!

Best of luck!

I think I am doing great. I burp a lot whenever I drink liquids. I am also walking for about 45 minutes a day. I started this week. Tomorrow will be my first day on pureed food cant wait to see how that goes. How about you? how are u doing?

I'm doing much better with the liquid intake than two weeks ago. Thank God:)

I never had any nausea they gave me a lot of medication for that. For the pain I also received pain medications and I was told to walk, walk and more walk. Congratulations and I hope you feel better soon!

I had a drain in not sure what was the main purpose. All I know I see some stuff drained in it that looks like bloody water.

I went last weekend 9 day post-up. I brought with me sugar free pudding and water. Didnt want to try anything as i am so early out. Didnt bother me at all. I guess because i know it might caused some damage if i chance it:)

Full liquids and sugar free pudding day 3-17.

Does everyone who had the surgery gets bad breath?

Omg! This freaks me out. I hope not.....

You doing great! Im going to ask my surgeon and see what they say. Thanks for the info:)

Yeah i still have to be experimenting with liquid to see what i can tolerate. So far only coconut water goes down well

I never thought of that. Are you loosing the weight even though you not paying much attention to the carbs?

lol. I am trying to get two weeks off before i go back to work. I also have a sit down job and its also infornt of the computer (talk about a double dose of sleeping pill). Dr garcia supply me with a print out of 15 pages form stage one back to where I would start introducing back normal food. The first 3 days was clear liguids and now the next 2 weeks is full liquid. His staff also gave me everyone contacts in case if i have a question or anything. One thing i forget to ask is information on my first blood work. Thats no biggy though as i can contact them whenver. The only thing I see i needed was just my change of clothes. They take really good care of me:)

Congrats on your weightloss so far. I am also one week post up today and I am down 21lbs( 15 lbs pre-up and 6 lbs post-up) I hope I am not a slow looser.

Hey Misty i havent tried any sugar free popsicle. To be honest I dont like the after taste of sugar free products. That artificial sweetner leave a bad after taste in my mouth. What i ahve been drinking is coconut water which goes down real smooth and taste yummy to me:). I cant over do it though because it contains 9g of carbs per 16 oz and 100 calories. That after taste ughhh!!!!

Hi hazel eyes my liquid intake is improving a bit. It dont hurt as much to swallow. Coconut Water goes down well for me but i cant drink too much as it contains 9g carb and 100cal per 16oz. I fall asleep real easily now. I could be talking with you and then in the middle i will be asleep. Not sure y this is. Other than those minor complaints i felt as if i didnt have a surgery. thank god! Oh i forget to mention i have an allergic reaction to the surgical tapes. Its not too bad though. All my fault they did ask me if i have one but i said no. Never had a major surgery so i did not know i was allergic my self. As for liquid intake im at about 50oz not including my broths or shakes. My mind still think about food i guess that will adjust over time. I have to keep reminding myself i cant eat those stuff aleast rite now:(

You both will do just fine. Had mine on the 25th:)

my headaches lasted a day. I actually think it was gas pain I really dont know because i am not a doctor but i think alot of people gas bubble went out the top or bottom none of mine went out either way. i have to actuallu forced myself to burp at timesi I actually think it went up into my head. I dont know i am just guessing.

hi Tiffany i will be flying out today back home. I cant wait to be finally home. The only pain i had that was real serious was my first night. It did get better as everyone advice as time goes by. I did have issues getting my liquid in due to heartburn n gas bubble. Its getting a bit better now. Ive been trying to get my walks in. Other than that no issues. Oh forget to mentioned i did had a real bad headache.

You are doing a great job! Keep it going:)

Thank you its seems when i heat the water it goes down a bit better not the best but something i could try to tolerate. My surgeon suppose to come by and remove my staples today. I am going to mention to him my headaches. Thanks katikati for the headsup:)

And now is this headacheeeee. ive been having this pounding headaches since yesterday.

Yeah i didnt know a person could feel this horrible from drinking water:)
