Why are we told to SIP the Water and drink slow? Does anyone know?

Wow. One Week! I said you should turn around and go home.

Hoping for a 15 lb loss as well.

What is the average amount of weight you have lost on pre-op diet?

Sounds like you might be dehydrated.

Starting pre-op diet today. AGAIN. Started last week only to get a call from doctor's office on Tuesday to tell me that my surgery had been put off another week. So, here I go again. Ready to start the 14 day countdown. I THINK!

I did finally make it all night for one night. I had to switch to a full mask because I couldn't sleep with my mouth closed. BUT, then last night, couldn't even go a full hour, mainly because of a constant cough I'm experiencing at the moment. Will just keep trying.

Thanks for posting the pics!

That's encouraging

I'm having surgery on a Monday and going back the following Monday. BUT, Ihave a very easy laid back office job. So, unless I pay someone too much on their paycheck or screw up paying some bills, I should hopefully be able to function. My job is very flexible. I only work M-TH from 8-3,but, if I need to leave early, I could.

I got my machine on Tuesday but having a really hard time adjusting. Haven't made it all night yet.

Same thing for me.....I called on the 19th was told it was pending and then was approved on the 20th. Didn't find out til the 26th.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

I, too, have experienced this. I was having a c-section with my first child and felt absolutely EVERYTHING, from them cutting me open to them pulling her out. The tugging and jerking was awful. I've since had 4 surgeries andd this has never happened again. THANK GOD!.....I also heard them talking and playing music. I can only pray that this never does happen to me again. Although, it was scary and a little unnerving, I wasn't in pain. Nothing they were doing really hurt, i could just feel it. So, I guess I had enough of the anesthesia to deaden the pain but, I still felt the motions. So sorry you had to go through this.

Has anyone tried the bariatric compression garments after surgery?

I'm so thankful that I haven't run into any doctor that hasn't been supportive of my decision.

Wow. Perfect example of bad doctor's running up insurance costs. TURN HIM IN TO YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE MEDICAL BOARD!

Do your cardiologist know that you had the surgery?

You look greattt!

So, you're five days out, how are you feeling?

October 21st......Dallas, tx

I'm really not concerned about my tummy. I'm more concerned about my face and legs. The arms a little. But, the only person who will see my stomach is my husband.....lol

I don't know anything about 6 month diet either.

YES I DID! ALL THIS PAST WEEKEND. Started the pre-op diet Monday only to be told I had been postponed another week. So, here I go again. ONLY, this time, I'm not going to do the pigging out this time around. I was miserable Monday morning and had gained 4 lbs.........ugh
