Wow that is fast! I have to wait 3 weeks too! I don't know if I should say your lucky or not....oh but to answer your question are you sure your really hungry or could it be head hunger? Maybe try to drink more fluids.

@@txgirl82 Are you on clear liquids? I drank/drink the premier protein ready-made shakes. I use to like them all but after surgery 11/4 I only like the chocolate. I can drink 2 a day now. In the first few days I was only allowed the isopure clears and I drank coconut water for the hydration.

Oh I know it's cold here in Missouri too. Hot baths are the best!

I took my first one 9 days after surgery. All my incisions where closed and pretty much healed. Of course I completely Bleached my bath tub first...germ phobia lol!

@@*Lexie* Yay! I'm glad it's good I saw that last week. I'm saving the recipe for when I can eat that kinda thing. Thank you for taking the time to let us know how it turned out.

@@Beautiful Mess Oh that's a good idea

My surgery went smoothly! I was in pain when I came to but they got me on some meds fast and that was better. I had nausea the 2 days in the hospital but only when I got up to pee..ect. I have a full bottle of nausea med I have never had to use since leaving the hospital. The first 3 days home were a little rough I'm not going to lie but once my surgeon upped my pain pills to oxycodone I was a-ok!! I stopped taking them at about 5-6 days. I haven't had any issues with foods or fluids it just takes time To get it all in. I have no hunger. I think the 14 day pre-op really prepared me for that! I took my drain out after 7 days (best thing EVER) and staples came out last week I take everything day by day, I don't live on the scale only weigh on Mondays. I'm down 28 lbs in 29 days so happy about that of course(including my Pre-op) I am ready and prepared for the plateau so I may not even weigh for the next 2 weeks just to avoid the stress.....keep it a "surprise" . If I could give some advice to a newbie I would say 1: make sure you have orders for all the meds you will need BEFORE leaving the hospital...ask about pain pills, anti nausea meds, anti-acids, your Dr may or may not prescribe them routinely ASK don't wait until you are sick and hurting! You may not even need them but then again you may! 2: surround your self with a good support system if possible. It's very possible to do it on your own but it helps to have people in your corner (like us) and last but not least: even when it's hard and maybe starts to suck remember the feeling You have now and how bad you really want this, why you wanted this, and have limitless goals! Don't underestimate yourself Or your body's potential. Don't stress! Your body has been through a lot,allow your body to heal Be patient, do what your suppose to do and eventually you will succeed Good luck!

Send her to my house I have lots of things she can do!!!! I want to just lay around! Dang!

Congratulations!

I use pam's organic olive oil spray , and coconut oil when I have to but I have a really good skillet that usually doesn't require anything. Depending on that I'm cooking I may also use REAL butter.

Good luck!

@@nprcowboy It beats the heck out of rewarming every 5 mins!

@@sarahkaj Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. Will your surgeon give you a b-12 shot to help with energy? Do you have an order for nausea medicine and an Anti-acid? It sounds like you could benefit from all that. Do you have a day that you can just sleep. If your surgeon will allow you to have an over the counters sleep aid like zzzquil maybe you could get a good sleep so your body can catch up? I hope you start feeling better

@@mommyoftwogirls My insurance had a surgery date for me that I had never heard of. I think it's just something the Drs do to submit the paper work. The date they had was not the date I was actually scheduled for. It would Have been the same situation I wouldn't have had enough time to do a 2 week pre-op diet. So I wouldn't worry about that particular date. They want to get the insurance company moving on a decision.

????

I see my glad plug-in in there!⭐

I tell everybody I want to tell because I'm a big mouth! That's right I'm a big mouth! I will tell people even if they don't want to hear! If I don't feel like telling someone I won't....because I don't have to. Bobby Brown said it best when he said "that's my prerogative "! As individuals with individule brains I think we can all use our brain cells to make choices on what we want to devulge to whom....nobody is right and nobody is wrong....now argue that!✌️(P.s. It's the weekend!!! Yay! Don't spend this weekend getting your panties all bunched just let it go....Let it go????????????)

There you go now thats better! Man up! Or woman up! Or whatever it is they say lol!!!

Girl! You need to stop! Just Stop! You really could hurt yourself if you don't get it together. I have read a lot of your post from the beginning (as I do most). From cheating on your pre-op to now. I won't lecture you because you know what your doing is Not right now you need to seriously think about why you continue to do it. I was thinking about your nature box post yesterday , are you eating that now? We get nature box also, I got it was before this surgery and there is NOTHING in that box you should be eating right now. Almost all of it is hard. Your stomach is not even remotely close to being Ready to eat hard nuts ect...you know that! I know you know that and if you don't you need to book an appointment with your NUT asap! I hope you don't think people are Being mean here but you can understand why some would be aggravated reading this after the struggle to have the surgery. It looks like your not taking any of it seriously or you were just really not prepared for this. Either way it's your life. I hope you figure it all out . I don't think it has anything to do with your post-op instructions because you told us what your Post-op diet is suppose to be word for word in a post before so it's not a lack of instructions. I hope you find your way and more than anything I hope we don't read a post a couple months from now about how the surgery "failed" you and you didn't lose the weight! You can do this if you would just dig out that willpower that I KNOW you have! Good luck! Next post....you got your sh@t together and you lost 10 lbs! Yay!!!!!

@@sunshine210 I was driving after 1 week. Wasn't in any pain and I wasn't taking any narcotics. I felt fine to drive.

@@jaxson5 I had staples over my insisions. 14 all together. I don't think it was nessasary it just left more marks. I don't think all surgeons do that and had I known he would I would have requested he didn't ....but he did and they are out now

@@NewLife'sGr8 I know you love your daughter but I wouldn't bring it up to her right now, not while she's already trying to do something about her weight with this "diet". She is obviously aware of her weight issue and it sounds like she's trying to be proactive about it. It may or may not work for her and if it doesn't then maybe if you feel the need to have that discussion with her that's your daughter and that's your prerogative but I wouldn't do that to her right now because she may take it as you don't believe she can do it on her own which is whats she's trying to do. Give her the opportunity to exhaust all her options before WLS. I took my surgery as a last ditch effort and I made the choice for myself. WLS is something you really have to be whole heartedly ready to commit to. She's still doing her own thing. Let her try. Good luck to you both!

@@Wmc1231 I think what your feeling is pretty normal for some people. I would just like to say if you get 60oz of water down this early you are my hero! I'm 11 days out and have 0 issues, I sip water almost all day almost full-ish drinks really and there is no way I could ever get 60oz in at this point. I can do about 40oz Max! So please don't get discouraged if you can't do that. I don't know anyone who could that early

good luck!

@@Luvin_Life125 Yes day 3 does! Day 6 for me was like night and day. So give it 3 more days And hopefully you will feel a lot better! Hang in there!
