Definitely wait it out, in the first few weeks I felt as if I wasn't going to have any restrictions. But now 6 weeks out I can barely eat my 2oz of food.

Definitely going to be trying this when I'm cleared to!

Fluids in = fluids out

I did the hcg diet like 5 years ago, I suffered from it then. I used smooth move tea and it always worked like a charm.

I have Cigna, I had 3 required nut visits but I did 4 I had a psych clearance, I also had to have a recommendation from my primary care physician. I was approved in a day.

I am 2 weeks out today! I was 281 at my preop testing which was about 2.5 weeks before surgery, I'm 261 today. I lost around 13 lbs the first week after surgery, however the scale has not moved, well it went up a couple pounds, since Monday! Is it really possible to start as stall at 10 days post op? Am I doomed, it's not like anything else I've ever done has worked, maybe this just won't either!? I'm only 5 feet tall so for my weight I really would have thought I'd get a little more out of this than 13 lbs.

Does your bariatric team have a social worker? Mine did, and she helped alleviate a lot of my anxiety I had pre op. If so, I would suggest reaching out to them.

I came home yesterday, I had a lot of pain Sunday am due to the jp drain pushing on my lungs making it extremely hard to breathe and very painful. Once they pulled the drain out there was immediate relief. I'm finding it extremely difficult to get all my water in even though I set times I still only get in about 26 oz a day. I'm really working on improving this. I gained 10 lbs while at the hospital so weight wise I'm disappointed. I have an appt with the doc in the am to check up.

I can't answer this with absolute certainty in your situation, but after I had my c-section of my twins I would wake up drenched every night to the point I had to change clothes.. I didn't think to much about it but when I went in for a check up I said something and come to find out it was an infection. I would call ur doc ASAP.

Finally the other side! Everything went great!

had my surgery this morning, thugs went great I've walked to bathroom couple times, pain is definitely not as bad as my c-sections were my insides feel violated..but really overall doing pretty good!

Packing my bag now! Bringing a robe, socks, Chapstick, lotion, face moisturizer, my bariatric bible, phone with pics of my kids and charger, and bringing my right to send my fiancé to buy anything else I need when he comes to visit...
