R u doing this?? I need ideas!!!

Hello all... Had surgery 1-9, got home saturday from hospital. I had to stay an extra night cause I started running a fever. Was on HBP meds before surgery but had extreme low BP post surgery. So I came home off my BP meds. Wow!! I am having pain, trying to stay on top of my meds so it doesnt get bad. The worst thing so far is the phlegm you get in your chest/throat. You have to get it up and it hurts to do so. I can not swallow pills very well because if it. My tastebuds are whacked (anyone else?) Everything is absolutely gross. I just been trying to get water in. Hows everyone else from surgery last week? R u on liquids??

Im in hospital, had surgery yesterday. The pain is bad, but not so bad. Mainly things like sitting up, or adjusting hurts. But ive had 2 csections and i think its up there in amt of pain as those.

Tomorrow is my last day!! OMG!!

Tomorrow is my last day!! OMG!!

I see people are taking like 3-6 weeks off.... anyone out there been thru this before?? I recovered very quickly with two c-sections and a gallbladder removal, with the gallbladder removal I was back to work in 4 days. My doc tells me 3 weeks most likely but I may feel good by 2 weeks.... I am shooting for one week as i am doing this unpaid leave from work.... am I going over board?? Surgery is this wednesday!!!

Im on day 8, 7 more to go... i was fine, having to eat, well drink something every 2 hours and 3 protein shakes a day wasnt making me hungry... but my mind was telling me I was. I cracked on my 5&6 day, i ate. Today im feeling weak again, so i called nutritionist to see if theres anything healthy i can eat... i can not wait for her return call.... anyone not on an all liquids 2week diet, what are u allowed to have??? I have read high protein/low carb meal, i think i may try that at lunch. Opinions???

I had Japanese... bout 1/2 what id normally eat but i still ate it...

I cheated BAD... but I feel awful now, I sure hope it all goes well, im scared now.

Struggling on my 2 week liquids... day 7... I hope tomorrow and all the way til the 9th go alot smoother than my day 6th and 7th.

Hello! New to this thread.... my journey has been kind of quick... I first attended the seminar in September, after being in denail that this was what I needed. My liver doc told me in April that he gave my lover 6-9 months before failure due to NAFLD. At first I was stubborn but then realized I do need the help. this journey has taught me SOOOOO much about myself! I started my 2 week liquids only diet the day after Christmas, and I have surgery 1-9-13. I can not wait. Today I am on day 6 of this journey, up to today, I have found it not to be so hard... but today I caved. I cheated, I ate shrimp... I could have ate much worse, I know, but still knowing I had to cheat it, makes me wonder if I am really able to go thru with this lifestyle change! Anyone else on their liquids? have u cheated? How long is your diet? What are u allowed? I am only allowed 3 meal replacement protein shakes, water, sugar free popsicles, and broth. I have done extremely well... til lunch today, that is. ;-(

Hello, I am on day 6 of my 2 week liquid diet, its a very strict diet, to where I can only have liquids... up to 3 meal replacement protein shakes, broth and water, sugar free popsicles. That all. Well I have done sooo well, til today! I had a headache and knew I would feel better by eating... so I ate fried shrimp. I know the purpose of the liquid diet is to shrink the liver, I have a fatty liver already, so I am sure this diet is crucial. Anyone else out there cheat the diet, or am I the only failure?? Anyone else by chance have afaty liver and cheated it? All comments welcomed...

Anyone around??

Can not wait til... cross legs wear boots wear cute clothes, I may actually become "girly" (I have NEVER been girly) more open in the bedroom look as sexy as I feel ( I have never had self image issues, I love me now... and hope to then even more) not depend on my husband for all the he does with our boys due to me not being able to keep up. my liver shrinks... i have NAFLD, and my liver needs to get healthy! not constantly thinking about what is going to be the next meal... the whole booth fitting thing... to be a healthier cook for my family

I have been around 22/24, starting weight was 293, im at 284.5, still in a 22, my surgery is 1/9/2013, and the thought of being able to lose 100 in 6 months or so, I just cant grasp!! I dont want to be super skinny, I only want to be able to shop comfirtably... anywhere from a 10-14 would make me happy.

Can anyone tell me how to do the weight tracker ticker thing?

NicoleK- How is your post op going so far since 12/17?
