Me too and it was the best egg I've ever had. Thank the lord for chickens!

I am the same way so you are not the only boring one:-)

Omg 2 wks post op, as of today 16lbs gone (forever), was cleared to do elliptical and 20 mins later can barely move! But I will be at it again tomorrow! Hope everyone else is doing well.

Wow you look great! hope I can say the same in 3 months.

I'm so excited about my 2 wk post op appointment tomorrow with my nutritionist that i went grocery shopping tonight to get ready for the pureed stage. Wish me luck!

Yeah my stomach did the same thing for the first few days. I think it was gas

Well it may be different at other hospitals but my pad was made into the underwear and the pad itself was not big at all

Honey I was on my period on surgery day and I promise you it was the farthest thing from my mind. And on top of that they put a catheter in. You will be fine and good luck!

Has anyone else within the first 2 weeks of post op had a hard time eating jello? Out of everything within my liquid diet I can barely eat jello even when I chew it well I'm instantly full after 3 bites.

Hello everyone! Surgery was the 20th and I got to go home on the 22nd. While I'm the hospital I was well taken care of. Needles went in and fine. The catheter ( which really scared me a little) went in fine ( I think, though I was sleep). However the doc did say they would also take it out while I was sleep. They did not, they took it out while I was waking up from the anaesthesia. I remember it but not really so I was pleased with that as well. The first night I woke every 2 hours ( literally) to use the bathroom. I think that kept me from gaining extra weight. Now on post op day 9 I've lost 12lbs ( but won't make it official until my post op appointment next week). Fluids are starting to get in pretty good now and Ive been walking everyday! (Proud of my own self about that). The only thing I absolutely hate are the chewable vitamins ( man they are nasty) I have to mentally prepare myself before putting them in my mouth. Other than that God has truly been good and I'm so glad I did this. And I pray daily that this surgery will continue to be a great tool that I take advantage of daily. Hope everyone else is doing well and good luck to those still to come.

Thats great, congrats! What have you done to be so successful?

Is or were anyone else hungry at times within the 1st 2 wks post op? Just wanted to see if the hungry feeling I get sometimes normal.

What shakes are you using? I was very paranoid especially since unlike most pre op diets mine was not an all liquid diet. I think you wilk be fine as long as you stick to your diet.
