  1. OMG! Great pictures! I'm 3ms post opt and have lost 56lbs! My arms are a little jiggly, but who cares. I'm getting healthy! Keep up the great work! You look GREAT!
  2. I know Peggy! I'm tired everyday. I keep telling myself it will get better. Just sick of being sick with something I caught from the hospital. The one place that's is supposed to be clean! I get Cdiff from a hospital!
  3. It's been 11 week post op. I have lost 42 lbs. I should be feeling great and enjoying life! But no! I'm on my second round of antibiotics for C-diff. I'm sick and depressed because I'm in pain and tired of feeling this way. I was told I caught this because of all the antibiotics I was on before surgery. I feel like it's bullshit! I go Into a hospital health. Then leave with an infectious Bactria infection. Anyone like me?
  4. Well I didn't take any vitamins yet today and all is calm! But I know I have to have them! So let the thunder begin!
  5. I'm 8wks post op. I really couldn't stomach my multivitamins after surgery. Just started them again! Man do I have GAS! It sounds like a thunder storm in my gut! Feel like I'v got to go to the bathroom but when I get there only gas! Big gas pains! Is anyone else like this? I'm almost want to stop taking the vitamins but I know I need them
  6. I agree! I'm 5 week post op and still have a hard time getting all the protein in! Just remember to drink! You don't want to dehydrate! It takes time to heel! And in time it will get better, so I'm told :/
  7. 4 wks post op! Down 26lbs Doctor said" Everything Look GREAT! See him in 90 days!
  8. Hey guys! I'm 4 wks post op. Lost 22lbs so far But now I am have pain in knees, hips & legs. Bad mussel pain to where is burns. Anyone else having this! I'v had pain before surgery but not like this. My knees feel like there going to break.
  9. Thanks Ladies! It's getting better
  10. WOW! Really feeling great today! I'm down 22 lbs in 3 wks I started soft phase and it felt good to eat something! Had a few pieces of Deli ham sliced thin and some string cheese. All went down well! Thank God!
  11. July 7,2014 Day of surgery 291 Today will be 19days post op I weight 270 Just starting phase 3 today. Get some food down is way harder that liquids.
  12. Yeah! Right where the drain was!
  13. I was told that it's where the scope was. So they leave it half way open because it's the main mussel that your using to get up and lay down with. So they like it to heal like that instead of my busting stitches : / I looks great and I healing. But it's it itching and making me CrAzY!
  14. Ok I was sent home with a open incision on my left side. I have been packing it and cleaning for almost 3 wks now. It's turning purple and itching like hell! I know it's healing but driving my CRAZY! How long does this take to heal?
  15. Thanks for the encouragement! I'm so confused right now! I keep telling myself Why did I do this
  16. HELP! Just had my first melt down about food! Crying my eyes out won't help but I did it! Almost 3wks post op. Smelling food is driving me crazy and all I want to do it eat! I feel like I'm never going to eat again Please tell me it gets better!
  17. Well! I'm 3 weeks post op I'v tried some eggs and within 2 or 3 small bites I get all yucky and puke! So I went back on liquids. Today I had a few tiny bites of chicken and got that pukie feeling again. This time I took slow deep breaths and the feeling left. Is anyone else feeling this way? Am I always going to feel like this?
  18. Having no problem with water! Still on pure liquids! I did try some eggs last night and puked my brains out! That an other thing! Puking is not easy! It don't come up! Just heaves! So I guess I'll have to wait until the 29th with some real food and take it one day at a time
  19. Just feel like I didn't have surgery! I'm not hungry until I see food and then when I drink my liquids I don't get that OMG I so full feeling. That's why I feel like I'm not loosing fast enough.
  20. Ok I'm 2 weeks post op and down 10lbs! Is that good or should I'v lost more? So confused. Though the weight would pour off me!
  21. Ok, I'v had surgery on July 7, 2014. Everything went well. I was told I could only sip liquids! But I can gulp & suck down fluids with no problem. Now eating yogurt and other liquid foods and still don't fill that "I'm so full sensation! Am I not drinking & eating enough.
