Not sure what happened we are only 2 weeks out. This thread is more for those getring ready or just had surgery. That's what it sems to me. Do yall think we should start an April Accountability group. There we can talk about our daily meal plans and a weekly weigh in? Agree, think maybe we should start a new thread.. I'll do it once I get on a computer. Normally I do everything from my cell. Lol.

Hello all, I was thinking about this thread and how we could really start it going. Besides finding out where everyone is from. We can chat about what WLS we had and when. That way it would help anyone creating a goodie box on what to put in it. What do you think?

Hey there ShellMilliner! Nothing too new expect finally in town for a while. Being on the road and trying to keep my WLS a secret was HARD. This week I've finally been able to stomach just plain water. So as far as H20, I'm only up to 20 oz. a day. Not good, but I'm trying. I was scheduled for my follow up visit with my Dr, but he had to reschedule. So my next visit isn't until the 30th of Apr. So I'm still eating soft foods. The glue on my incisions are finally falling off, so I'm pretty happy to see how my incisions look. How's everyone doing with their incisions? So like you said, where is everyone else?

Knock, Knock!!! Who's there? Me!!! I'm back!!!! Everyone I have been so out of whack not being able to get on here and get motivation. As soon as I returned from a visit home (3 hrs) away, my job sent me out of town. This has been a stressful 5 days. So how's everyone doing? I missed chatting with yall.

So let me tell you about my Road Trip. So my trip was a 3.5hr trip. The start off was getting my daughter McDonald's Sothern Crispy chicken. So I decided to try one. I chewed that chicken tender until the Cow's came home. But no problems, I was fine after that. I managed to stop every hour and walk for about 10 min. Well after a while I decided to start on my Premier shake. Why did that thing cause a ingestion feeling with every sip. I'm wondering if my pouch is beginning to not like them. I hope not b/c it has has alot of Protein and I still have a ton of them. So next adventure is making it home to my family who KNOWS NOTHING about my WLS. They noticed the WL but then wanted to go to Olive Garden. So I said yes and went along. I ate 2 stuffed mushrooms, 1 breadstick, and a few bites of my salmon. I never felt nauseous, but the pressure in my chest was real. Well I managed to make it through dinner without Up Chucking or telling my family. Thank you Lord. I was really scared. So now an hour later, I'm walking around. The things we do when we won't want people to know. Ladies I hope yall are doing good, today was stressful for me.

I hope you are on the way of feeling better.

I'm 10 days Post-op and today I had to go get a acupressure Nausea bracelet. For the most part it's working. I

Today is a GOOD day! So I was given a guide book from my Dr at his seminar. And then I was given a guide book while in the hospital. I read it and it stated I could have Puree food on day 3. Well I wanted to stick what my Dr gave me and not get my HOPES up. So today my 10 days Post-op and have to go out of town this weekend. So silly me decided to call my Dr and ask about being on the road and the guidance given to me in the hospital. So why did his nurse tell me I could of been doing pureed food since Day 3. I was so excited I made some noise like I had hit the Lottery. I'm happy! Smashed Potatoes here I come!!!! Whoopee!

@ ShellMilliner, I'm so glad to hear you had a better day. Let us know how your Post-op went. Have a good day.

Have yall thought or tried any Nausea patches? I had one in the beginning and wore it the 1st 6 days.

@@ShellMilliner and @@brandnewme2015 Well today has been WAY better. Instead of just Water today, I've incorporated Crystalight and Diluted Apple juice. Can you say NO PROBLEMS! I need that one explained to me, I don't understand. To be honest with you all, I did eat 3 crawfish from our Get together yesterday. I'm 8 days Post-op. Not on the list of Haves but temptation took over. Well I can say it didn't hurt or anything, but I did get the feeling of not eating anymore. Not proud of myself, but I'm human. So I counted that as my lunch. So I worked in my fluids and now I'm onto a Premier shake. Ooh and u just took my morning Vitamins and just waiting to see if I'm on the road to happiness. How are yall doing today?

Good Morning All,Well yesterday I went back to work and wasn't so bad. Everyone mentioned how I looked like I had lost weight, but I played it off since no one knows what I have done. Eventually I'll say something. I was able to manage to eat a whole yogurt and a 20 oz bottle of Water with a Crystal Light add in. This wasn't done at the same time but throughout the day. So that was an accomplishment for me. So I made it through the day. The most taxing part of the day was having to go to the grocery store and shop for company coming over. The rush through the store made me a little flush. I came home and cooked for the first time. It was such a weird experience. I cooked a meal without even knowing how it tasted along the way or even the finished product. So I just kept quizzing my husband on how it tasted. I told him I felt a Blind person trying to write on a piece of paper. You know you've done something, but you don't what the final product came out as. Crazy. Well as for the BM, that hasn't taken place. 7 days. I took the suggested dosage of Miralax on Monday and still nothing. If it isn't happening because of my water intake then my goose is cooked, because I'm drinking as much has I can handle. I don't feel any discomfort, but I know I need to go. Ooh my, the struggle is real. Thanks x0CheekzVSG, for checking on my day. How is today going for you? @@CrissyBat have you done any exercise yet (walking)? I finally did and tell you what - it certainly got my bowels moving. I'm not getting all my liquids in either - I don't know why I thought that would be the least of my problems. Everytime I drink though, even a little, my stomach starts rumbling. I find that I tolerate crystal light and Vitamin water better than regular water. My goal for today: 32 oz h20, & 1 protein shake. Baby steps! @@brandnewme2015, I was walking in spurts. Well today I walked continuously for 45 min and I'm proud to say, I had a BM. Thank you. Well as far as today, it's been a weird one. I woke up extermly hungry and thirsty. That was a 1st. So I said I would hold out for a Protein shake, NOT! I didn't have any cold, so I iced one down. That only caused what felt like indigestion, so I only took a few sips. So after I waited my 30 min, I went for some cold water. That's all I could think of. I just felt like gulping, but I tried to slow my sips. Well after that I felt nauseous. Grrrrrr! Well on my next TO DO for the day was to get in all my Vitamins. It seems everytime I took them, the nausea came back. I don't know if that's because I haven't eaten enough or what. Is there anyone getting in all of their vitamins in a day. So basically I have been nauseous all day so I haven't done good on water or calorie in take. I wish everyone the best of luck.

Hi Everyone, I'm having my Sleeve done on 1 April, and I'm looking for people who will be having surgery the same day. I want a group where we are all going through the same thing at the same time. Here we can talk about: - Pre-Op To Do's - Grocery List for After the surgery - Vitamin Intake - Concerns - Post-Op Journey - Success - And anything that will help us with our journey. I hope to meet some long lasting friends that understand our Struggle.

Thanks x0CheekzVSG! Yep back to the old ball and grind. I'm actually sitting in the parking lot waiting on BFF (the only person who knows) to come help me with my computer bag and stuff. So sad. I wish I could of taken the whole Month off. Have a good day. Ooh and no I haven't had that feeling.
