Hello' date=' I know this is late but I just joined and I work in worcester not far from Grafton at all. How are you doing, my surgery will be jan 23. Thanks shannon[/quote']

Welcome. I am not on here often at all. Congrats on your upcoming surgery date. You can email me at ddussault@verizon.net if you want to. Dawn

Lol

I can eat practically anything and I am 7mths out

What about wearing a shaper for now to conceal the extra skin until its time for the Tummy Tuck. It might help how you feel. I talked to a woman who lost 152 lbs and she wore a shaper and I would have never know..she looked fabulous. Just a thought.

Congrats

Wow great job

I have my fan handy for my hot flashes and my blanket for my cold spells. Crazy

Yes I was given Percocet, works better than the Tylenol I think. I tried two Tylenol today with not much relief

Awesome, can't wait to eat real food

I did the Miralax today and was able to go again. I get so excited now about pooping. Lol

I was like this too, hot then cold, sweaty etc. my doctor said its the withdrawal of carbs from my body. Boy I miss carbs. Lol. Does feel like menopause, however, I know it's not. I am only 37

Good luck, I only told a few at work too but about 95% don't know and didn't know I was going to be out until about two wks before I left as some people have to cover my work

Jen...I had the same problem. I had my surgery on 6/6 and couldn't poop. I was told yesterday to drink some miralax or milk of magnesia and I did. I was successful. Funny how pooping makes you happy at our age. Lol

How far out are you from your surgery?

I talked to my doctor today. I literally was having a breakdown. I was crying so bad. He now has me on liquid only for the next 24-48 hrs. I do not need to worry about Protein right now. I am starting to get dehydrated. I am having hot flashes (I am only 37) and he said that is the withdrawal from carbs. I am eating Popsicles, Water, tea, broth, Jello, etc. I also bought some Oikos plain yogurt, which I love but think I got dumping syndrome from it, my belly was sore, I went to bed. I will try it one more time to see if that was it for sure and if so I guess I will have to cross that off the list. I also had an Edy's fruit bar so I am not sure it that did it either. I was also put of murals as I have not been able to make bowel movements, howere I was yesterday. Funny how taking a movement is exciting at my age. Lol

Thanks for your support. I have a very supportive family but obviously they don't know how I physically feel like you guys do! Anyone from the Grafton/Worcester Massachusetts area?

I can't even have them I guess, they ate not on the list and if I can them them I can only have two per day

Had my surgery for rny on 6/6 and I am on a liquid diet now for (3) weeks. Below is a list I can choose to eat from. Please advise if anything has tried any of these and how you made them to make them taste good. Right now I have no desire to eat and am depressed as everything I try tastes gross

Hi everyone.

I am sort of new to this forum. I am still trying to figure it out. I had my rny surgery on June 6 th. I must say that I do not feel great. I feel bloated all the time. The Protein shakes are not good. I need to call my weight center today 6/11 to talk to them about this. I have not had a bowel movement since before my surgery. Not sure if that is normal since I am not eating real food. I have no energy although I did take a two mile walk yesterday that felt good, I then tried to drink my carnation instant Breakfast and since then have just felt gross. I love when I sleep as I don't feel the discomfort, but as you can see its now 4am and I am typing this:-(. I really need help and need to know what other people are eating on their stage 3 liquid diet? Any help would be so appreciated. I bought some Boost drink and it's gross.

I can't wait to feel normal again

I will be calling my weight center tomorrow as I can't live like this. Water, tea, broth and carnation instAnt Breakfast. I will see if I can have yogurt etc. my center does not want you to eat anything that they have not approved as they know how it effects your system.

Where have you found the Isopure liquid ....and does it taste good ? What favors does anyone recommend?

I feel very bloated too but then I also feel like my belly growls for food?

I am right ther with you Jen. I was crying yesterday. This is so hard! I am not walking hardly at all. I started at 206 before surgery (before diet I was 237). This morning I weighed. 204. How are people losing 10-20 lbs in the first weeks?...

Had my surgery on 6/6. I came home Friday afternoon. I have been drinking only Carnation instant Breakfast, 4oz every 2 hrs and then Water, tea etc during the other hour. I really need to know if I can eat anything else. I don't think I can do this for 3 weeks. I need to call the doctor tomorrow as I can't take this, it's awful. I read lots of things where people love this and are doing so great....how are they doing it for the first three weeks. Can someone write down what they ate so I can see some options? Ay help is appreciated, I feel like crap!

I know I can eat limit of two sugar free popsicles. I don't have a big list. I will ask them is I can eat sugar free pudding

Hi all

I had my rny on 6/8. I am drinking Water and my carnation instant Breakfast drinks. Anyone else hurry? Any ideas

Dawn

I am having some pain. I took my percocet pill a couple hrs ago. I took my vitamens and.drank my 4oz of carnation. I am so full...any ideas when when to take your.vitamins etc
