Oh my @@AuriP are you ready for that? Sounds like a lot of weight even 4 weeks out.

Hello Everyone,
Today I went for my one week post op appointment. I am so happy to have the drain out! Yes it hurt, felt weird and it still seems very strange. Good news since starting the pre op diet I am down 30 pounds. I'm Happy about that progress!!

pureed diet. I have eaten, scrambled egg, scrambled egg with a third a slice fat free cheese, fake crab salad, chicken, black Beans, and sf dark chocolate pudding w Protein added. eggs, chicken, black beans and pudding all good. Normally about 2 measured ounces of the protein, quarter cup of other. My stomach has been fine except not like the taste of a couple things which more just made me nauseous at the first bite. The egg with no cheese and the fake crab salad.

whoohoo!!!!! Nice job!!

Congratulations @ShonisLove. Hope you did a well deserved Happy Dance! On your way to a new You!

You be careful Monday @ AuriP. I was told by Surgeon not to lift more than 10 LBS for six weeks PostOp. Of course we all do what we have to do just be careful!

Tomorrow marks my 4 weeks post op. I get to have soft solid foods! I go to work next Monday. Pretty nervous about that since I have to be able to lift 50 lbs.

@@tacycakes I think making a call to your Dr. is the best option. Even if he determines that it's gas or something simple, it resolves your issue and provides you with piece of mind. I agree with others that I was prescribed something for acid build up in my pouch. I didn't take it as prescribed one day and I began to have pain. When I realized it was omitted and took it, I felt much better. This may be the issue you are having. This is only speculation, therefore call your surgeon and get a REAL answer. Praying that all goes well. Keep us posted.

Hi all!!! Im having surgery today!!! Yay!!! I also have lost 13lbs in the two day clear liquid diet. Cant wait to look and feel better!!!

yay Beni!!! So glad you're doing so well!! Keep those walks going today. :-) Lol, I don't think I used anything from my luggage either. Well, chapstic and toothbrush was all.

Ok they are getting me ready now... nervous and scared...

@@Beni YAY!!!! So happy everything is going well. Keep it up and you'll be home healing in no time.

I AM ALIVE. It was not bad at all. I slept mostly. Never was wake long enough to post. All I did was go to bathroom and one small walk. Did have a couple bouts of nausea but they were not as bad as pregnancy nausea. I think the pain meds are working really well. I slept like a baby. Good luck today, I am the biggest chicken on earth and this is so doable

Evening friends!! I was out and about alot today and my lower right belly is SO sore tonight. Ugh. Gonna take tylenol tonight. I went to my massage therapist tonight too to have her just work on my neck and shoulders. I can only imagine the weird position they have us in. Plus this sleeping on my back semi sitting up is killing me!
I wonder how Beni is doing?

Im glad i found this site. Its nice to have supportive people to talk to that actually know what you are going threw. not just saying they understand but are actually understanding.

Like @@kimodell69 said, it's amazing how a bunch of strangers have been so supportive and wonderful support for each other. This really is an amazing group of people. I haven't been as active as some but I very much appreciate you all. Thank you so much!

Thanks @@Sherrib4health! It really helps having you all there! This is an amazing group! I never thought that people I never met in person could be so supportive! You all rock!!!

Since Beni surgery today and probably is in Recovery I'am sending Best Wishes for A speedy $ Safe Surgery, No Drama Recovery and Discharge when your ready.
Get Ready to Defy Gravity & Roar to our next Gladiators @@lissa863 & @Kimodell68. Happy Wednesday Surgery Day!????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I check in the hospital at 7am tomorrow.. now im officially nervous. I never thought I'd make it this far..

There will be NO failure! I've got that same thought in the back if my mind, hard to get rid of as I'm a band to bypass convert. However, MAJOR difference: we all have so much love, support, prayer and good listening skills for each other! That alone will make a difference and we will all lose and maintain together! (I used way too many exclamation points)

I am approved!!!! Surgery day November 11th. I am so happy

At the hospital waiting like a good girl. Had my heparin shot and my IV is in. All good.
