I am starting to wonder to! I had surgery on the 5 came home on the morning of 7. Was feeling pretty good about it all then, Friday came. Pain pain pain!! Meds don't seem to work, wondering what I did!!!!

I had my rny on the 5. I am not hungry but very bloated and fill full all the time, don't want to eat but I make myself drink the carnations and then I really feel like shit! Don't know what to think! Sorry ur hungry maybe more protien.

I am home and very sore, a rash and slight temp, but other than I feel great!!!!

Thank you for the advise I might call doc about the rashes I have on my sides

I am home from hospital surgery was June 5. I'm very sore like someone kicked me right in the sternum. I also have noticed a rash and have a slight temp100.3 should I be concerned

Me too but they gave it to me through the IV. I think it's a no no because on pills can cause ulcers

Well Im out of surgery 11 1/2hrs!! Went well, little sore and groggy! Off of pain meds except ibuprofen feel really

Headed to hospital!!!!!!! Now I'm nervous!!!!!! See you on the other side.

I'm sorry you had to go through that! Hope things are better now!!! I am 309lbs surgery tomorrow, 19 hrs and counting! Lol! I pray that things go well for you from now on and my surgery goes well. God Bless to all!!!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight?

Congrats on the successfull surgery!!! I go on Tuesday , I hope I will be like you, no problems!!!! Very happy for you!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the advise!!!! Good luck to all!!!

Time to start counting down!!! Getting more nervous everyday!!! I feel a little over whelmed, been looking over all my papers from Dr. and trying to get a menu planned for a couple of days after surgery. Dont want to have to worry about it when I'm tired and trying to get fluids in and walking!!! God bless everyone hope you all well in your journey!!!

My date is June 5 but I have already started the chewables from gnc they taste great!!!!

I am still post op, but if you do the Atkins diet right you also become ketosis! And yes bad breathe!! I am going to try the listerene strips (they desolve in mouth) I'm a chewer!!!

They say no gum because they dont want you to accidentally swallow it, big no no!!

I just went to my pre op appointment today and they never said anything about a pre op diet, so I asked the dr and then the surgery nurse the both said no I don't my need to do a diet! The nurse even suggested to go have my favorite meal the night before!! I have read everyone else doing some sort of diet, so I have mixed emotions about what I should do! I have been doing Atkins but don't seems to be losing anything, I have done this diet several times and every time it seems to get harder to lose!!!!

Thank you!!!

Well I am doing it for myself too! My dad passed sept '10 of a heart attack at the age of 57! That was the start of my journey, I had lost 80 lbs prior to his passing but gained it back afterward almost immediately! Want to take care of myself for me and my family!!!
