I was told to open capsule and mix in applesauce

Oh no! hope your doing better now.

I feel better today but still not drinking enough.....this is tough

Had my post op appt and I was 13 pounds down.....that's the good part. Now for the bad....I was severely dehydrated and got ill and almost collapsed in the bathroom at the drs office. They sent me to the hospital......3 bags of fluids. Please drink your water....also learned that don't need to sip Water so slowly....I was taking baby sips. Also gained a pound this morning .....I guess from all the if fluids

The dr office said I was moving to much ......I was washing clothes. They said it normal for a little blood seeping due to this

My incision started bleeding last night. Waiting on the dr. Office to open

I did that but now the scales not moving.

. Wonder what needs to happen to jump start you again

One week out and 10 pounds down.....

I had my surgery in this past Thursday. Everything went well for the first two days I was so sick couldn't hold anything down. But I am in day 3 of the juice party and will be starting Protein Shakes tomorrow. Don't feel like I have lost weight.

hang in there....it will get better

I am a week post-op and Im down 15 pounds and feeling pretty good. I had a little emotional melt down on Saturday night because I just felt frustrated and nervous. It was weird to be at a diner and having to ask for a to go cup for my Soup broth. Even tho I feel full, I want food so bad it hurts. I want to bite into something. Im so tired of ice pops, shakes, Water, soup... that's been my life for 2 weeks now and to think I need to do it 2 more kills me. I know I can do it but im just a little miserable. Its very hard. But the weight loss helps me to remember what I did this for.

think how fab your going to look.....food is always around...I would try to avoid eating out until soft foods

Tomorrow is my big day!!!! I find out today what time I have to be there. I am nervous, happy, and anxious all in one. I started Clear Liquids yesterday and lost 1 pound. So here are my stats so far.

5'8" tall 50 years old

Heaviest was 347lbs

Pre liquids 319lbs

And I will update the rest after surgery. I want to Thank each of you that have already had the surgery for all the advice you have given us newbies.

relax today and go run your errands....do not worry everything will be fine. I slept like a baby the night before. Remember to take gas x strips with you to hospital. Also ask for acohol pads. Keep them close when you feel nauseated open and run under your nose. Good luck tomorrow

About 1 or 2 pm 3 oz of Protein Shake. Back to water. 4 pm finish protein shake. Back to my water. 7 eat some Greek yogurt. Water again then around 10 finish off Greek yogurt. Then go to bed.

Also side note started my cycle three days post op.

Well ladies it has been 5 days post op for me......finally returned to my own home and wifi....I weighed myself and I have lost 7 pounds......I was so excited. This is from my surgery weight. I am so glad I made this decision. I am able to eat and so far no issues...good luck to everyone going tomorrow. Remember your on your way

I had good day today.....ate 43 grams of Protein

Also achohol pads under nose stop nausea. That dry heaving was horrible

I came home yesterday...I had the worst gas pain.....once I had bowel movement I started to feel btter. Gas x is my best friend. I am walking a lot and sipping slow. Started full liquid today. The premiere Protein Shake is really good. Also remember to move...the pain does get easier.

4 hour till I have to report to hospital. I am surprisingly calm. Have prayed to God to watch over me and I know that he controls all things. This surgery was meant to be for me. I'm going to lay back down for another hour then i will get up and prepare.

So I'm at the hospital! In my gown! Nerves are high but I'm ready... Mom and boyfriend are here with me. Waiting on my IV and finishing my registration. 8am surgery! Lets get sleeved!

good luck with your procedure.....everything will be wonderful. I go tomorrow

I am starting Clear Liquids tomorrow. Was on full liquids today and it was ok....bat to drink Phillips milk of mag. Tonight. I am surprisingly not nervous yet

I am trying to focus on the end game! Don't think bat after surgery....yes it's going to be some discomfort. No pain no gain ladies, the 17th is our day

I go full liquids tomorrow. I went shopping today so that I have everything for the next two weeks......I am having my last day of food today....not really nervous yet. Good to hear everyone surgeries went well so far. Did anyone take laxative or anything before surgery

Congrats ladies on your successful procedures. Take your rest and know your one step closer

So my surgery went well yesterday.... Still in the hospital resting.. My tummy is pretty sore and extremely swollen. Walking around has been pretty easy, the worst part is trying to sit down or get back up.... Luckily the hospital beds make it easier to lift you up. I have not administered pain medicine very often and they turned my auto med thing off so if I need pain meds they will brig them to me. I did take a shower on my own.. It's just a little difficult getting dressed without any assistance. Good luck to everyone else doing their surgery... Remember don't over drink your liquids cause you will feel miserable.

glad to hear your doing well. You are on your way.
