  1. Im not hungry but want to eat something . Like soup with thin noodles (liptons chicken soup) would this hurt me? Ive been doing great on all liquids, no nausea or vomiting what so ever.. Hot or cold liquids dnt make any difference to my new tummy.
  2. Omg that long... Did ur dr prescribe something?

  4. As soon as you see your surgeon. But thats if he decides to leave it on. Some surgeons wont even put it. But if he does consider this good, because that way you can see if somethigs not right inside your tummy.
  5. HW 312, diet and exercise 270, Before surgery (gastric bypass) 280, CW 268
  6. Yes a drainage! Lol dnt be scared not all doctors will leave it and it doesnt hurt. Its just there, every so often i have to empty it and measure how much fluids it sucked out. It sucks out all the blood and irrigation left behind after surgery.
  7. Everything will get better for all of us.. The important thing is to be strong.
  8. I was bad and ate till 2 days before surgery...
  9. That sounds terrible but good at the same time. Im sorry about the cake thing. This slowly crept up on me. The day after surgery i was crying in the hospital for nothing and also when i got home. Yesterday my mother made me awesome cuban food and i couldnt even have one bite... Im not a sweets fan so i should be good on that side. Hope you get better soon.
  10. Wow.. Well thank you, and hopefully this goes away soon.
  11. Im 5 days post op and I've been close to crying over nothing, even when i get congratulated on my surgery.
  12. Full liquids are: Protein shakes, sugar-free, fat-free pudding, pureed cream of chicken or mushroom Soup, skim milk, soy milk, vegetable juice, oatmeal strained nd pureed and yogurt low-fat sugarfree, theres more but thats what ive been doing.
  13. I had my gastric bypass on 3-13-13. My weight on the 12 was 280, current weight 5 days post op is 269. Pain was also minimal but that GAS is a mother. My doc sent me home on full liquids, was only on clear liquids the day after surgery. The only thing that pretty much sucks is that i have a drain coming out of my tummy
  14. Good luck! Hope all is well for you
  15. What can i blend into the soups? Im 3 days post op and my guide was lost in transition, my surgeons office doesnt open till tuesday.
  16. Just think in a month when you've lost weight how good ur going to feel.. i haven't been hungry. My surgery was just yesterday but im kinda ok with the not eating. Be strong
  17. Omg.. i wonder if i said anything crazy
  18. Screw her! She is very unprofessional! Wls is not cosmetic, its for health reasons. Being overweight is difficult and that B must have been skinny. Dont ever let anyone put u down like that, she has no idea what u have gone through to undergo wls. Ur making the right decision sweetie..
  19. Hi guys! 2 things i want to warn u on. 1, when u have to do the xrays of ur stomach to make sure ur not leaking, DO NOT DRINK THAT NASTY S%#T THEY GIVE U FAST. Their going to say chug it but u just take ur time. 2, gas pain is a mother i wont lie but its all worth it. And that first sip is AWESOME lol.
  20. Ok guys everything went well so far. In about 2 hours ill be drinking some liquid nd will have a scan to make sure there are no leaks. When you wake up after surgery, i think that was the worst pain but right there they give you meds and ur good to go. What i mean by worst is in general, basically its not that bad. Thank u all for ur support and prayers, it really does mean alot to me. Will update in a bit
