All I can think about is chewing on a steak. I'm freakin napping and dreaming about food! I'm only 3 days after and I feel like mentally I'm loosing it. I know il eat again and I tell myself that. Anybody have something positive to tell me? How will I be on Tuesday when it's been a week? Lordy the regret is hitting me. Maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I was?

You gain weight from the saline. I'm experiencing it. Completely normal they told me as I weighed myself and saw I gained weight after the surgery.

29 oz total. 16 oz of that was Protein. The rest was Water, little bit of miso Soup and sf Jello. I almost got 25g of protein. Not a lot considering I need 60-90g a day but it's my first day and I refuse to kick my own ass. How did you guys do?

Woke up sore around 6:30. Showered.....yay now sitting on the couch watching the news. I nibbled on some sf jello and had 2oz of protein shake so far. Figure I'll be drinking that all day to get my protein in. How are you guys doing? Feel like I should be doing something else....hmmm....

Hey there my fellow soon to be Skinnies, I got home about an hour ago about 430 I am pretty groggy still. Just took some pain meds and now I'm going to start drinking some more liquid was having a little bit of trouble in the hospital not drinking enough I still haven't been able to pass gas. My goal now is to drink 3 ounces every hour and get up and walk a little bit every time so let's see how it goes congratulations to all of us!!! Looking forward to seeing us all healthy very soon! -Virginia

Sorry for all the questions! -Virginia

Wow let's pray I get a recovery like that. My darn 5 year old needs me

Good morning everybody I have a quick question so I've been semi on top of my diet and I haven't lost any weight and I'm only doing a 10 day diet but it wasn't a full on diet first day it was just replaced breakfast second is replaced lunch and then the third day it was your place all and of course I cheated I know I feel bad about it but I noticed I haven't lost any weight but I feel like clothes are a little bit loose but the numbers are changing on the scale is that possible?

Well the subject says it all everyday I eat a meal because I can't go all day on liquids. I feel like a failure. My dr told me it will be easier after because my stomach will be so small that I won't be as hungry and not to kick myself too much but I can't help me majority of the day I have what I'm suppose to it's just one meal I need to eat. Am I screwed? Writing this I want to cry I have been battling to get this for 4 years and I can't even handle the damn pre op diet. Thanks for letting me vent.

Is it the carbs that make the liver big?

My date is the 26th and I'm just curious to see how much people have lost the first week and month. Thanks, Virginia

So I'm going to sound dumb here but fats in food is what makes the liver bigger?

Hey there I have a quick question so I am on my all liquid diet if we get hungry in between can we snack on like Raw almonds or something do you guys have any idea obviously the doctors offices close so any ideas or tips let me know I will have water with me at all times but I was just wondering.

So true. I guess I'm freaking out because I feel like I'm not prepared for after the surgery.

I did start my diet today I will be on it for 10 days and it progressively goes to all liquid. My the 3rd day I'll be all liquid. I'm getting my surgery done in San Jose by dr.Zare

When did you start the protein shakes?

My surgery is August 26 and I'm curious as to how everybody handled the first two weeks. Thanks!

Hi my name is Virginia and my surgery date is 8/26 as well! I just started my all liquid diet today I just substituted breakfast with a watered-down oatmeal tomorrow I'll be substituting breakfast and lunch then the next day it'll be all replaced with the liquid diet stuff. I'm extremely nervous and I'm excited at the same time I feel like I'm not prepared for what to do when I get home after the surgery. I haven't bought any vitamins I haven't thought about after the surgery yet because I'm so in shock that I'm finally getting this after three years of battling for it. I was literally told a week ago that I was approved for the surgery and I met with my surgeon yesterday and it just it feels like it's happening so fast. Where do I start?!
