So i had my surgery on March 16th. I had a hiatal hernia repair while they were in there. First day I was npo the whole time except ice chips. 1 medicine cup every hour. I slept alot this day and didn't have much gas. My surgery took about 2 hours. Second day I could have 2 medicine cups of liquid every hour and I was allowed broth and watered down apple juice. I mostly drank the juice and Water. Didn't have an appetite at all. Started to get gas this day. It hurt a bit. 3rd day I really had gas pains and they hurt alot. In my chest and my back up between my shoulder blades, but I'm up and walking around as much as I can and was still allowed just 2 med cups an hour. Still didn't have an appetite. So now it's day 4 and the gas pains are minimal and i still haven't had a bm yet. I feel a little pressure each time I drink. I still don't know my fill point yet so I don't take in much at a time. Still don't have an appetite for any broth or anything like that but I have drank almost 11 ozs of my premir Protein Shake and almost 64ozs of water. Last thing I want is to get dehydrated. I got to walk around outside 2 times today then it started raining. But my room is upstairs so I've had to climb stairs and I walk around the house too. When I went into the hospital I weighed 351. When I left the hospital I weighed 358 from all the Fluid that they gave me. Today I weighed in at 345 whoopeee!!!!! I really don't want to eat any of the broths or anything the thought of it and the smell of it makes me nauseous. I do feel like I could eat other foods but I have to wait 2 weeks until I get to the doc to see what he says. For some reason I just feel like I could eat some green Beans and chicken lol. I guess something that has some texture to it since I have been doing liquid for so long. I'm hungry, just not for the foods that I am allowed to eat. I have meds that I have to take and I've had to crush them up with a little applesauce and I tell u what, that has been horrible!!!! Makes me want to throw up with this one med that I have to take because it's so big and it tastes like death!!! So until then I guess I am stuck with water, juice, and Protein Shakes. How is everyone else doing that has had thier surgeries? Are our situations similar?? Hope you all are doing as well as I am!!

mine was on the 2nd and we were at about the same weight. It's weird it's only been the last few days that my meds(from before surgery) have bothered me. I feel like crap after I eat for about an hour. I'm tired allot but my doctor says it's normal so I have to take that as word.

I'm 18. Days out and I still have those days. I have problems with running to the bathroom after every meal. I'm still having problems even wanting to eat. Trying to get my Water in. I always want to sleep.

Yeah I'm doing better with it.

Yeah netflix and hulu don't have it either. Sorry

Hopefully they'll run it the week it before it airs April 5th

Getting tired of nothing but shakes and Protein. What fun is there in drinking this?

Not supposed to be fun. Detoxing your liver. The next month or so will be anything but fun

Not supposed to be fun it's detoxing the fat of your liver. Life will not be fun in the next month or so. Sorry

@@roundisashape they have it in the android phone app for 1.99 an episode that would be 30 bucks dayum. I'll see if I can find out somewhere else

@@roundisashape I know it's on wgnAmerica. There may be a phone app I'll check

Doing any better. Don't drink cold Water. Just room temp.

Once you can put actual food in you'll feel less hunger. I can't tolerate any sugar substitutes so they allowed me to jump p ahead a few days. I ate what would be equal to about 5 regular bites of mash potatoes tonight and I was disgustingly full. . I'm still lying down just starting to feel better. The last thing I want to do is eat but I need to have a yogurt for more Protein ugh.

I'm feeling the first past now Ava. I pray I don't get to the other. Good luck

@@VSGmary gobbly gobs lmao ...I love Australia

It's funny, 7 yrs ago I was doing Atkins and I did really well lost 60 lbs and my sister in law gave my husband and I hell for not eating her Christmas spread a nd that it wasn't healthy not to eat any carbs blah blah blah.I could never give up bread blah blah Guess who's doing gluten free? People really need to shut up cause you never know where you'll be from one minute to the next. I'm h happy for her but she's making like she invented being low carb and gluten free. Makes me laugh

Walking dead, forever, Salem, sleepy hollow(seeing a trend here lol) big bang theory, mom, night shift, agents of shield, Goldbergs. Really all kinds of stuff

I was jumping hoops like a poodle in a kiddie show but it just made me more determined. I had a moronic first psych evaluator and maybe the OP(no offense ) isn't used to fighting for herself or thinks she doesn't deserve it for herself, who knows. As far as how this turned into a bitchfest, everyone reads what they will into text. Some take stuff as funny, some as sarcastic, some as mean. We don't know each other personally and our own days affect how we read something. I'm mad at the world...."well that comment was pretty crappy to me. Shut up you hag". Lol. Or the same comment on a day where I got flowers and got laid..."oh she's soooooo funny lol laadeeee da de da".... we have all been there. Just step back and think maybe one of us is having a crappy day. If it offends you...(whispering) it might be you.

Did they check you for over active thyroid? My family is notorious for going from hypo(slow) too hyper(superfast) thyroid. My sister had been almost 400 lbs her whole life and now she is about 150 and dropping. Good luck hope it gets worked out

I have always had a lot of scarring from bad skin acne on my books and under my stomach. Hopefully insurance will pay for it since I get cysts .I burn that bridge when I get there

Great !

I know that there are so many hoops to jump. It took me 11 months to get to my surgery. Manny times I wanted to quit. Especially after the psych dr told me I needed to love my fat self( even my 2nd psych dr said he's a skinny nut case) that delayed me 3 months and cost me 2 thousand dollars in co pays. Not to mention the fear of not waking up, the worry if it's going to work, the fear of pain. I get it. The fear of a heart attack of never seeing my son getting married, children, dying young being confined to the house...that's no life. I'd rather go thru hell this way and come out the other side. Good luck with your journey.

I had both too on the 2nd. Try sitting straight up and lift both arms in the air and(I have no other way to describe) do the wave. Or have someone pound lightly on your back. Burping isn't sexy but Damn it feel so good

You and me both Shelly. Can't stand even a little now.

I'm 2 week out today. I can't handle any more artificial sweeteners. They are giving me diarrhea so bad it's dehydrating me. I talked to my dr today and they told me to stop them as much as possible. I do drink one Quest shake a day to get 34 gr start. Of course good knows how much stays when I head to the bathroom. They are allowing me to start my 3rd week(eggs, cream of wheat ect) on Wednesday so in the mean time it's yogurt and peanut(for me almond) butter and such till then.

I am better. Thanks. I have had headaches before but never that intensity or for as long. Ive been laying off the artificial sweeteners as much as possible too..

Protein Shakes are the DEVIL! . I don't care what kind, I'm so sick of them(see my post: I want MEAT!!) I'm really really trying but my stomach is saying no. No matter how slow I sip it fills me so muchthen the good old artificial sweeteners have me run to the bathroom like Usain Bolt in the Olympics...argh

I had my sleeve March 3rd, 2015. No pain in the hospital thanks to my Dilaudid PCA pump. The first night home I did fine with the aide of Dilaudid tablets. Today is March 6th and I feel great. I flushed the remaining Dilaudid tablets. I am ready to move forward and get my exercise on. I have to wait till Narch 11th which is when my postop appt is to be cleared for work, exercise plan. Feeling good. I definitely think I have made the right choice for me. This full liquid diet sucks but it will also end at my postoperative appt.

Great to hear your doing well. I'm feeling okay erect I freaking hate Protein Shakes and I still want MEAT!!. LOL can't have any thing with artificial sweeteners or I'm running to the bathroom so I'm kinda stuck. As far as your drugs tho, don't flush them. Turn them into your local police dept. We don't want them in our Water ways and of course we don't want them laying around so the police will either take them(controlled especially) or direct you to your local health dept. Some pharmacies will take them also but some charge (ridiculous!) Hope you continue with you great recovery
