Angie!!

Today is the first day I am really annoyed about food. 6 days out and I just want to eat something!!!!!! Full liquids blows.

What's a candy cup?

Post surgery full liquids I was told I could have ANY strained cream soup and not to worry about fat and calories since your intake is so minuscule. I have been having Campbell's or any generic cream of potato with a little pepper. Yummy!!

They didn't know I had one until they were doing my sleeve. Fixed it during surgery on 9/4/13

I've been using NuvaRing for 3 years an think it is amazing.

OmG.....my incision sites itch so damn much! When will this go away?

I think you just keep cooking. Find new exciting recipes that work with this new lifestyle. There are so many out there. You can do this. Wishing you well hon.

I am 5 days post op and on full liquids for another 10 days. I can have: Sf pudding Sf Popsicles Strained cream Soups broth Light sf yogurt Protein drinks Are you doing anything to make this more interesting? Adding flavors, spices, anything?? I am doing fine but can see how this will get old fast.

I day 5 as well! I am so tired And getting fluids in is challenging. Good job on getting a Protein Shake in. I have yet to get a whole one down over the course of a day. Maybe today will be the day. I think one of the reasons I am so tired is because the sleep I am getting is crappy. The pain on my left side is still pretty bad and sleeping on my back is not ideal.

When I let with the surgeon it included a health history, a discussion about expectations, a physical exam of the abdomen and bunch of q and a. Scheduling came quite a bit later after all tests were completed.

I had this same problem. It is important to try to her a good positive attitude. This of it this way, the risks are no higher than having your appendix out and if you had a bad appendix, you have no choice, you would have to have it removed. Are the risks of your weight higher than the risks of surgery , probably. But you have to do what is right. I just had my surgery on 9/4. You can do this.

Surgery yesterday at 1130 didn't happen until 1pm. Found a hiatual hernia and repaired it. 8 hours in recovery. Pain and nausea are pretty intense but hey, I am alive.

Laying in preop. They are running an hour behind. My belly is so empty! Hope to get rolling soon.

Call the hospital. They should be willing to cost estimate it for you

Are you being really honest with yourself about what you are eating? Are you tracking it? Are you getting in lots of Water? The likelihood of not losing weight on the type of diet is really low. 4 weeks of liquid is a lot and I would not personally recommend it. I have done it for 2 and it has been killer. Maybe you should share your struggles with your doctors office and ask for their help.

I am on the other side of the state. Surgery on Wednesday.

Tomorrow I switch from the liquid diet to the 1 day clear liquid diet. How the hell can you eat like no calories fr a whole day? Ugh!

The countdown is so close to over!
