I also gave an Aria scale and it is amazing! I just love it! I use it with my Fitbit Force. It has helped keep me accountable! I'll never buy another Scale unless it's to replace my Aria!

@@niasia33 glad to kno u r doing well

Thank you relentless! I'm feeling much better now. I'm out and about and loosing. I've lost 23 lbs since the start of liquid diet so everything worked out.

So sorry you had to go through all that!!!! Glad you are doing better now..

Thanks allielee! Are you pre or post op?

Hi ladies! It's been a while but......my surgery went well. I did have a slight issue after surgery as I am allergic to codeine and EVERY pain med narcotic gave me a full body rash that drive me crazy along with the pain. A long story short, I had to stay in the hospital an extra day for not being able to drink and pain management. They gave me Tylenol and I dumped on that then they sent me home on tramadol which did absolutely nothing! 10 days post op I'm feeling a lot better and can walk but not alone. I'm moving a lot better but not 100% yet. I have lost a total of 20 lbs with pre-op diet. 6 lbs post-op as of post-op day 7. Now I do not regret having my surgery but while I was in pain I was regretting my choice.

I hope everyone is doing well! And good luck to all those having surgery this week!

Hi everybody. I had my rny surgery on May 16th. My surgery itself went well but I was allergic to all of the pain meds they gave me and ended up with a full body rash that itched and drove me crazy and the only thing they could give me for pain was Tylenol and Tramadol. I dumped on the Tylenol and I was in agony and pure *ell! I stayed in the hospital for an extra day. I stayed for four days. I could not sip anything because of the pain. I was dehydrated. I constantly thought that I made a mistake about having the surgery. After 10 days post op I am doing much better. My pain is almost gone, I'm healing well, I'm able to get my fluids down somewhat and I'm working on my Protein thanks to Isopure. I have my post op visit tomorrow. I'm walking pretty good just not alone and while at the store I did have to use a motor cart. All and all I am glad that I had my surgery I'm just sorry I had to go through what I went through. I have lost 6lbs as of post-op day 7. I'm happy about that!

Word of advice to anyone having surgery, if you are allergic to codeine as I am, make sure that the doc has a real pain med to give you for pain control BEFORE you have your surgery!

Hi everyone! We'll tomorrow is the big day! My bag is all packed and I'm waiting for the hospital to call with my surgery time. Looking forward to sitting next to you ladies on the losers bench!

Tomorrow is the big day!!!! I'm so excited that my journey will officially begin tomorrow. I guess tomorrow is my rebirth day! My bag is packed and I'm waiting for my call to find out what time I have to be there tomorrow. Is anyone else having surgery tomorrow?

I haven't been hungry but all of a sudden my stomach is growling. Popsicles and Water is not helping the hunger pains. Ughhh

Lol. I gave up on Popsicles on day one. They did absolutely nothing for me! My stomach isn't growling but it sure is having a burning sensation right now. Just ready for my surgery!!!!

I'm a revision from band to bypass, and I don't know what happened after surgery, (2 weeks ago today,) but I CANNOT stomach artificial sweeteners anymore. It hits my palate like poisonous metal. And what are all the Protein supplements made of? Artificial sweeteners... I am in this dangerous situation where I am seriously subsiding off Water and soy milk. I've been taking swallowed Vitamins instead of chewed, because I can't take the sweetners. Honestly, I can't. Would you continue to drink or chew something that tasted like bleach? I know taste buds change after surgery, but this is ridiculous. Argh!!! Sorry for my rant. Just one more week, then I can go to mushies... even then, how do I get the Protein in before the solids aka meat stage? Sigh...

Minkypop, have you ever heard of Prostat medical grade liquid Protein? My sister has used this for the last 10 yrs since the day she got home from the hospital (post RNY) and swears by it. I have not tried it yet as my surgery is not until tomorrow. I ordered it off Amazon and that is where she gets it as well. Just thought I would pass my info along because you are struggling. I hope everything works out!

Rome/Cupcake......I am with you both! I am on day 13 of my liquid diet and I'm not hungry but I really miss chewing! My surgery is on Friday. I'm just ready to do it! Good luck to you all on your surgeries!!!

Tomorrow is the big day! 6am!! Thankfully my dr only makes you do a 24 preop diet of clear liquids.... Soup get boring! Not being able to chew actual food is hard. And the magnesium citrate is for the birds! But it will all pay off in the long run!! Eeeekk I'm excited!! Finger crossed!

Good luck to you nolagirl09! Praying for a speedy recovery for you. Soup is super boring but your right it is all worth it in the end. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you can!
