I wish I had known how bad this surgery was going to make me hormonally!

Hopefully Kathryn you will have a pain pump which I could push whenever it lit up green! Kinda weird I remembered that detail lol !

Already had my week post op to dr and won't see him again til February .

I tried a puréed omelet and because it look so gross could not eat it! What I am wondering is if one day of not puréeing my foods and just eating things soft like baked fish etc will make that much difference!

Hopingnomeds I have not even gotten to soft foods yet! Jan 2 is when I am suppose to go to soft foods two weeks on that and on to reg foods! I am very cautios because I don't want to be sick but I think I will try a scrambled egg on Monday and see how it goes! Have you had egg yet?

Me too Amy c! I am so thankful for that and never, never, never want to go back to insulin shots etc.. I would rather take a handful of vitamins than meds any day!

I am like mrs Jekyll And mrs Hyde to put it mildly! There are just times I am sooo hormonal that the food frustrates me! I am suppose to start soft foods jan 2! What is y'all's opinion of me doing it two days early?

Dr I am soooo over shakes and puréed foods! I am sick to death of soup soup and more soup!!!!!!!! I cannot eat some things as they remind me of vomit!!!!!!! I am so hormonal and eating this crap just irritates me more! I need to eat but I just had protein shake for breakfast so now what?

Krany I had my dr call in liquid med for me and I taking it in liquid but I can swallow a pill! I tried just taking my pill melted down but it was bitter and I was not happening! See if your dr can do that at least on a few meds

Yes we are here to support you 100 percent but you still want that from friends and family! Is it more dangerous for you. Because of the barnet disease?

What are you guys wearing when you go places? I can put on my jeans BUT my tummy doesn't like them! I have one pair of grey jogging pants that are oh so comfy but I can't wear them everyday! I guess I need to go buy at least another pair!

Glad you are here and have found us! I am only required 32ox of Water at this time but I know I will need to increase it! I am like you concerning friends family support! They try but it's comforting to talk with people who are going through it and support one another step by step !

Note to self: do not take to laxative tablets all at once!

Puréed foods and then soft foods on jan 2

I was on full liquids for two weeks post op then now I am on puréed food til jan 2 and then I will be on soft foods for two weeks then on to reg foods!

Apparently according to some others being moody is normal ! What I was told was that as our bodies lose weight rapidly it releases hormones! I was told that it's like having a girl going through puberty!

My multivitamin with iron is from bariatric advantage and they have awesome calcium chews from chocolate peanut butter to just plain chocolate! They are yummy

Jackie I know my stomach growled but it was gas! Are you really hungry or is tit head hunger? I will sometimes say I am hungry but it's in my head cuz I know it's time to eat!

Redstacy I was already on an anti anxiety medicine but I was driving my husband crazy! The hormonal thing has eased up a tad but not all! I have a thread if you look called moody on here!

I feel like I can't breathe like my lungs are squished is this just me?

We did this thing at work where we jingled people and all had a stocking! My co workers were wonderful I received no candy but all kinds of goodies! I have lost 22 lbs total from two weeks preop til now! I'm actually a little disappointed that I am not losing now at all!

Thank you guys! I appreciate you looking the actigall and gas x interactions up!

My surgeon wouldn't take my gallbladder out I have to take actigall

My body DID NOT like the drain it was giving me muscles spasms to the point I was crying and the pain med did not help! When he pulled that thing out my side spasmed once more and it was up hill ever since!

Wow I wished I could have soft food! I am on oureed food til jan 2 and it's very hard to find something I like! I am having problems sleeping anyone else? I find myself with about 3 to 4 pillows under my head!
