Great! Let me know how it goes and if you feel better. Remember to try it really really slow and tiny bit at a time. Hope it helps!!!

Day 4 was my worst day! I felt exactly like you!!! I cried in the shower. I'm day 7 now and it's sooo much better! Like night and day. I was allowed blended black bean Soup so I took black bean soup in my magic bullet and added chicken broth to thin it. I instantly felt better. I did that on day 5.

I know people are going to scream at me for this BUT; I had no pre op diet and had 6 weeks between approval and surgery and let me tell you. I went to town. I gained 11 lbs. I'm now exactly 1 week post op and was absolutely not prepared for how freaking hard that first week is. Tears and frustration over what I could eat and trying to get things down. I absolutely do not regret a single bit of those 11 lbs I gained and enjoyed my last meals. Because my life is different now and I can actually look back and it keeps me grounded now of what my disaster potential is had I not chose this surgery. I'm 1 week out and down 13! Starting week 2 and I'm able to have more food choices and the scale is dropping at a rate I never expected. I'm in no way telling you to do what I did, because at the end of the day - everyone's journey is different and to each is own. All the best!

The protein shake tastes like artificial sweetened snot. I am not feeling a positive vibe at the moment. Want to just know what to do.

I just drank some protein shake a day early. I don't give a poop. I felt like I wAs falling over and needed nourishment so I had like 5 sips. And...it was gross. Lol. Someone said 2 weeks out I will feel better? That better be true. Anyone get on the scale?

Wait...I'm 35! Am I "older"? I'm 25 in my head! So glad you are feeling better. Did your dr give you an outline? What to eat when? A month out is pretty early for physical activity. They usually suggest 6 weeks. And I don't think you should be on full foods yet. Don't worry about the gain. It's not real. My dr said iv fluids could be up to 20 lbs on the scale. Also your previous weight was when you were dehydrated so of course it read under weight. I can email you what my dr instructions are if you don't have. I would air on the side of caution just to be sure. Love the hair!

I'm so glad someone said this! I want to freaking eat and chew. I've considered chewing and spitting but here's thoughts. We are all starting over. Everyday this will get easier as we are able to tolerate more. We are being reprogrammed for a healthy lifestyle. I thinkin two weeks we will all be glad we made this decision.

I'm right there with you. Today is the first day I can wake up and say I feel better then yesterday. I still hurt like hell but I'm glad I finally got to sleep an entire night without hearing my hospital roommate sleep through her iv alarms. Being home made a big difference. I can't wait until the pain goes away and I can focus on getting in my fluids and protein. I can't wait to see the scale start moving. And the WTF did I do to myself phase ends. Seriously - this phase needs to end.

I'm am totally getting them in the am!

Holy crap!!!

Me too! Head hunger sucks!!!

I'm still in the hospital. All I want to do is sleep and my roommates machines are going off like a car alarm. Seriously going crazy!

Me too!

I'm dying. Apparently had a hernia that needed to be fixed. So much pain

I haven't slept since Sunday night. The hospital is the worst place to sleep!

Had mine on the 8th too. I think I'm supposed to be discharged but I can't get enough Water down. Still no regrets. Can't wait to get on a scale

I'm trying all of the above. Thank you!

I know this is going to get better and be worth it but. Was sleeved yesterday 7/7/13 and I can't get these liquids down with out feeling sick. The repaired my hernia ( which I had no blue about). Suggestions?

Anyone at Lenox hill In NYC today?

I'm stoned out of my mind in this hospital ell So far so good
