Today is also the first day that I've wanted to eat something and got frustrating cuz there's nothing I can have yet.

Well I don't like it! Lol I'm paying a lot of money and enduring a lot of pain to lose weight! I better start losing soon... Talk about discouraging!

And I haven't eaten anything! Today was the first day I was able to do a protein drink and drink some broth.

Have u lost any weight yet? Cuz I haven't. Matter of fact my scales say I've gained

I'm better today. I'm getting dehydrated tho. How about u?

Hey girl I just wanted to see how u are doing and feeling.

I'm feeling a little better today. I still hurt tho, I feel it more deeply in my stomach today. He couldn't find the gas x last night so he's going to the pharmacy today. I get a really bad cramp in my stomach whenever I drink things. Idk if its that I'm taking too much or what. I've been coughing to clear my lungs so I don't get pneumonia and oh my gosh it hurts BAD! My neck shoulders and back are very stiff from only being able to sleep in a recliner position. I can't do protein drinks or anything like that. I have had like 1 cup of broth over the last 2 days. Mainly trying to just drink water cuz my mouth and stuff feels so dry. I have lots of grumbles in my stomach but idk if its gas or hunger.

It's upper gas. My husband is going to the store to find me gas x strips. Ugh it's all in my back and hurts so bad

Yes I have nausea meds and the hydrocodone. When do the gas pains stop?

I am getting up and walking but I don't see that its helping much. My shoulder isn't hurting as bad but my lower back is so tired of bring laid on. I want so bad to lay on my side but I'm not allowed to until tomorrow. I'm taking my hydrocodone every2.5 hrs instead of every 3-4 because that last hr is really bad. My husband asked if I am glad I did this.... I said not today ask me next week lol

Not really. Hurts worse cuz I'm not pumped full of morphine. But I just have to make it thru this week.

Yeah I wish I could have stayed. I hurt so bad. They just said walking will help.

I've already been released.

I'm in horrible pain! In my stomach And my back . So much so that they gave me 2 doses of morphine and deladid and hydro. How did yes go!?

Hey! You too!!!! I'll def post later on! God Bless and keep you safe!

No mine is at 9:45 but I have to be there early.

I live 2 and a half hrs away. And I have to be there at like 6 am

2 MORE DAYS!!! I leave tomorrow!

Well today us over. 3 more days!!!! Met my surgeon today... He's really funny and has a calming effect on ur nerves. I'm so very excited! His words of wisdom to me today were: "your first month you are Gona hate it and wish you had never done it. BUT after that you will be stopping by just to tell us how wonderful you think it is! I've never had someone disappointed yet!" So... I'm so excited to start my new life and finally feel and look sexy for my self and my husband!

Your liver has to shrink. Because if it is too fatty they cannot do the surgery.

My surgery is Monday. They said they will prob release me the same day. That makes me nervous cuz I have a low pain tolerance.

Yay!!!! I'm happy to hear from you! The weight will start dropping I'm sure after swelling goes down. How's your pain level? I'm also having hiatal hernia repair in the same surgery.

Well in 9 days I've gone from 278 to 269. And my husband made a comment last night that I look smaller. BUT my initial weigh in was 276 and then I gained 2 lbs as my week of "final meals" so I hope that what they have me recorded at will be enough of a weight loss still have 5 days to go. But I can look back to last week and remember talking to someone who was on day 9 and I was on day 3 and thought it was so far away! Well it flew by. Now I'm on day 9 and I'm not complaining anymore!!! That first week is a doozy tho! I still have cravings but its easier to resist. Yesterday I ate a spinach salad with chicken breast grilled and protein shakes... That's all and I handled it. Today ill just have broths and protein shakes.

Day 8! 6 to go!

I wasn't a big soda drinker but I had a headache every day last week from not being able to have my morning coffee. Take some extra strength Tylenol and go to bed!
