In my experience after going back to work (I work at a middle school, had the summer off), I notice that a few women have made positive comments, BUT, only a handful. As far as men, NONE of them have said a word and I think it's because they know that they could say something that may come out wrong or get them in trouble, like, "Oh, you lost weight, you look really good now!" As if I didn't before? LOL They know there is no winning either way, so they just say nothing. YOU notice and that's more important than anyone else!

Happy admiring yourself day!

Moan, b***h, complain, rant - ALL YOU WANT! That's what part of this forum is for, let it out, and make it loud! It will get better in time, hang tough, you didn't get where you are by being a total wimp... I can tell

You are not alone! Although I didn't give myself an enema with the shower massager, Iol, I was painfully patient and managed to go on my own, but boy, did it make me feel like I was going to pass out! Anethesia will do this to you!

You WILL get through it and YES, it IS worth it! I only had to do liquids the day before so I'm really sorry that you are suffering through more than one day of fluids, I don't understand why they do that to people. It may have to do with the actual procedure that they are performing. Your life is going to change for the better, this is only temporary and will pass. Rely on the people in this forum and your loved ones that know about your surgery, to help you get through, you are NOT alone in this!

To satisfy hunger, consuming lots of protein helps. If you have broth, make sure you drink protein with it. The broth can be from egg flower soup or ANY restaurant soup that you like, it will satisfy you better. Premier shakes have a lot of protein and some calories to give your stomach something to do.

After the surgery, you won't be nearly as hungry as you are feeling right now, it does get better - hang in there!
