I want to know everyones thoughts on the whole soda thing. I was told no soda. Then someone else through another doctor said no problem. Is their any info anyone has on yes or no? i have had a few sips but had no ill reaction to it. Just curious on any ones experiences or insights on the short and long term.

Oh yeah by the way down 63 pounds in 48 days and lovin it cant wait to beat the 300 mark.

Your sugars were high prob dut to the lactose ringers you had in your IV. They have dextrose in them( sugar). i am type one and take only 20 units of lantus daily now i was at 100units a day and now with no meal coverage. It does get better and as you lose more weight the less insulin you will need.

EAT....... Everything comes down to portion. You are able to eat a lil pasta. A sliver of pizza. You just have to know when to walk away. By you depriving yoirself of normal foods you will regret your decision more and more. Yes the sweets are a no no. Smart choices little tates of approved foods will not make or break you day. Remember you can onlyeat a lil bit now make it worth you while. Eat sesnsible done engorge yourself.

Just went to doctors and am down 30 pounds. Surgery date 7/2 365 pounds. 7/11 335 pounds. Feelin pretty damn good right now!!!

This may be a little gross i apologize now. I have had my first couple ob so called bowel movements keep in mind no solid food for over a week now. When i went it was watery dark brown. It seemed to be a little thicker to thepoint it stayed on the bowl a little. I went again just now and the same. I dont have a fever. Bp is good heart rate is normal. Is this reminince of surgery i had on monday coming through. I started protien shakes two days ago also. Just not sure if i should get excited and go to the docs or is it normal.also any one else have problems getting on their sides to sleep. I have slept in the recliner since coming home. It is the only thing comfy. Sorry if i was long winded. Im just concerned.

I had surgery on monday morning and now my pain is pretty much gone. The belly button area on me is sore especially when i cough but they repaired my hernia there. Other than that i do have to sleep only on my back on the side still hurts. My problem is after my little walks im exhausted to the point where i feel i need to sit and relax. Is this normal? I know i need to start doing things but its like i have no stamina.way worse now than even before surgery. Im chalking it up as im still healing. Anyone else have that issue?

So with the above said i did mot add extremely tired and useup energy fairly quickly im assuming it is the lack of food at this point plus the effect from surgery still.

Im still struggling.

I am scheduled for.surgery on july 2nd a week from monday and am freaking out. I am personally scared Sh!?less. I am not sure why all of a sudden i am worried.of the unknown. Will i make it off the table? Is this the rightthing to do? Is this selfish of.me to put myself first by doing this.surgery insteadof spending the two weeks vacation doing something with my family. Then it kicks in if i want to be around for my family I NEED TO DO THIS. i am 365 pounds and am 35 on the 28thof this month. I know ineed to but is it the right time. I have high blood pressure diabetes and high cholesterol.the preop check up went great they said i have a heartof a bull but i have the courage of the cowardly lion right now. Any thoughrs or input would be appreciated.

I have been drinking 1 oz every 15 minutes. Of water. I have had two popsicles and will begin protienthis afternoon. Still have pain in the upper left side in the ribcage. Have been walking and stretching. Oh belly pain please go away.

I had surgery july2 am home as of last night. I have no drain. Belly is sore but not relly pain. My left ribs though almost on my side are killing me. I am hoping its just the gas. It comes and goes as i position myself so im assuming irs muskular or gas. Any thoughts?

Doc just came inand gave me the blessing to go home. Woooooohooooooo. He say everything slow no race for anything. Drink slow walk slow slow slow slow. So excited.

This gas is terrible i feel like a greyhound doing laps on the hospital wing.

I am 1 day out and i did not have a drain doc said it was not necessary. Anyone else with no drain?

Surgery went well thanks for the support. One question though how long does the pressure last in the upper belly it is terrible.

It is getting better walking makes everything looser. Burping a little but no air from below. Wayer is going down well and only a little discomfort from theat . I have been drinking 1oz every 15 minutes have walked about 5 times so far the entire floor both wings of the floor im on. Feelin better allready. Im so glad i went through with it im happy allready knowing this is better for me and my family.
