Wow you look good girl!!! You look amazing.

Theres unjury flavorless add that to your soup. Hope that helps.

I saved up enough money to take three weeks off. Im loving it. I bought myself some quality time with my son,

My answer is the dog . When I feel the pang to stop I immediately stop eating walk over to my gavon dogs bowl who will eat 24/7 , and dump my food in his dish, there problem solved . I cant force myself to eat the rest and hes more than happy to help me out. lol Good luck to you.

Oh man, I would call the doctor just to play it safe. I would do it sooner than later in case it shouldnt be there you wouldnt want to deal with an infection.

No darling, I went for my one week post op today, and begged and pleaded because I have a pool and Im not working yeay took time off to recoup, its just my son and I all day, me melting watching him have fun with his little friends and they said absolutely no swimming for three more weeks ughhh. Hope that helps.

Normally I would say its an easy decision if it will help you in the long run, but, you pose some good points and as a mother I get where you are coming from. That kind of sucks you are caught between a rock and a hard place. But on the flip side you want to be healthy to care for your daughter and to be here for her right? So its all on you. Whatever decision you can live with is the one you should go with. I wish you all the best and hope you have an easy time with this.

Hmmmm I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, given that god awful cpap thing to wear . Nope it didnt happen never wore it never got used to it. But, I had my surgery and thank god I am ok. Good luck to you.

I stayed an extra day in hospital because I could not get past liquids without nausea . When I got the wave they put an alcohol prep near my nose , kind of squashed the feeling imidiately and gave me zofran iv push and out it went. But in the hospital they told me if I needed I could take a script home with me for the zofran so I am sure its available in pill form, call your syrgeon you shouldnt have to suffer like this. And by some alcohol preps they work wonders. Good luck to you I hope your better soon.

I dont know what your habits were like before the surgery, but I agree you should let someone know. If one of our kids have problems going we usually make them broccoli or broccoli rabe with some olive oil in it it works like magik. lol I guess you can make the broccoli in food processor like a mashed potato consitancy add some oil and see how it works for you , just to lube everything up and get things moving for you. I hope you find relief soon,

I was told pureed foods now but the other night I tried ground beef as it was already broken in little pieces it went down ok, no I couldnt have alot of it but It tasted so good with some fat free sour cream and home made guacamole omg that tasted amazing looked gross and mushy but I wished I could have eaten more. lol

Hi I was told no carbonated drinks EVER. If I absolutely needed, drink it totally flat. As for straws I was told not to use them now but going for my new habitual drink large decaf coffee light with skim milk and a sweetner, It comes with a straw and I use it. I try to be careful and not suck down air so far so good. Good luck to you and your soda, I hope you find something that works for you. As I did with my coffee I now drink one caffenated for breakfast the rest decaf and lots of ice for fluid.

I cant answer that but I know a week out I couldnt believe how good I felt. Now im put on antibiotics and a side effect is sleepyness and bam like a hammer took all my good energy away. I hope yours is good. Thank god I only have to take these meds for 5 days .

Sounds like your doing great.

One week out I ransacked my house yesterday feeling great and got my freakin appetite back, You should have smooth sailing from this point on, just keep walking. Good luck to you!

Throughout my whole 6 month process I was never told once to loose weight. Once I started my 6 months before I too felt like its going to be my last time eating i gained 28lbs. Once I started I couldnt stop omg I couldnt wait to do this to stop my insanity. Now that I had the surgery, I dont feel like im never not going to eat again, trust me we probably could. Good luck to you remember you are so not alone .

I have seen some people on this board that have had them, but my surgeon used no catheter no drain. Thank god!

One week out no pump. But good luck to you.

Hard to believe tomoro will be a week its so clear it feels like yesterday. Im ok stomachwise today I ransacked my house I think I overdid it because by my largest insicion im having an internal tug and a new sweet black and blue. Havent had any real pain to talk about I hope it passes.

One week out no drain.

Ughh I feel like you, not with the craving im 5 days post op and I dont feel restricted! Did I just have stomach surgery????????? Weds 1st appt with doc, Idn I stop myself but for breakfast I make myself oatmeal I stop at a few mouthfuls only beause I think its what I should do not because I feel full. In hospital had no appetite now, I am actually getting pains in stomach if i go to long without eating for 4 hours. FML!

Good luck on your new path. I wish you much success.
