Oh yes! I just got one last week! Please add me too! Carablake@ twc.com

It is Hair, Skin, Nail nourishing complex? That's the only one I can find on the website.

This hair loss thing really concerns me. My hair is extremely thin as it is. I can already see my scalp. If I lose anymore I will be bald!

Lol! Looks like re fried beans are for dinner tonight!!! I love them so that works out! Thanks for the suggestions!

Yay! I can start on soft foods! Any suggestions?

Yay! Congrats!!!

I am one week post-op today. I have been following my doctors orders to a T minus getting all the water in. I am not sleeping well at night and I am exhausted during the day. It's seems to be getting worse as the week goes on. Maybe because my body is changing but I'm not sure. Even taking a shower takes everything out of me. Thoughts?

Little Caesars crazy bread. Downed every one of them. Those things are delicious! I will not be doing that again!

Number 2 had me laughing so hard! THANKS FOR THAT! Walk, walk, walk! The nurses were making comments that I was walking so much but in a good way! It's truly helps the gas. Oh and good luck on your surgery! I hope all goes well!

I will be one week out tomorrow. My husband works weekends and took the weekend off. I have GREATLY appreciated this as we have 4 boys with the youngest being two! He has handled the children since we've been home from the hospital and it's been wonderful!

My name is Cara but the hubby calls me Carebear (????) and I'm 42.

I have had the same pain for awhile now and the doctor couldn't find it either. I just had gastric bypass on June 3rd so I'm hoping it will correct it? The pain comes and goes and it seems like certain foods makes it worse. Is that the same for you?

Lucky you! I'm still on liquids! I'm ready for some soft foods. The gas pains are still bad but I'm walking, walking, walking! I know how you feel though. You start to feel good then BAM...not so much! I hear that a week out we will feel better. Not 100%, but better.

I had surgery on June 3rd and my gas pains are getting worse. I cant lay flat in the bed and it hurts to lay on my side. I am trying the gas x strips but it's not helping...

I am doing well. The gas pains haven't been too bad until today. Still not overly painful but I think it's all trying to escape now. We have been taking lots of walks. My two year old just bumped my side with his knee and that hurt. Poor thing didn't mean to. Other than that I am just trying to get water and protein shakes down. When do you go home?

Yay! Congrats on your surgery! How are you feeling? I know my surgery day I was out of it too! I enjoyed the sleep though. How are you doing with gas pain? Now we are on the losers bench! Wahoo!

I am 3 days post-op and pooped this morning. Wasn't much but enough to help relieve some gas too. I've been walking a lot and the gas isn't too bad. I came home from the hospital yesterday and I'm feeling not too bad. My stomach is sore but that's expected. I gain a few pounds in the hospital but lost that last night. Now I am just trying yo get some protein shakes down and my water. Little sips...I also exited for this journey to finally be here! Thanks for asking! How is everyone doing?

I came in yesterday at 7:30am. They did some routine tests on me (blood work, sugar). Once they got ready to take me back they gave me some anxiety and nausea meds. I was pretty loopy before they started. She put oxygen over my face and I was out!. Woke up in recovery and they gave me lots of meds I was then wheeled of to my room.i didn't have anything to eat until just now. They brought me chicken broth, hello and unsweetened tea. You'll do great on your surgery! The doctor said there weren't any complications. Yay!

I was so nervous too! It's normal. You'll do great! I have to go this mining and check for leaks then I can start liquids.

Had my surgery yesterday. It went well. I have pain but it's manageable, for now. I pretty much slept all day yesterday. Super excited!!!

Thanks! On my way now!

It's here!!! Tomorrow is my big day! Yay!!!!!

Oh no! I'm so sorry! What did you have? I'm struggling with a sore throat and drainage and I'm worried they may cancel. My surgery is June 3rd. Hope you feel better!

I've been reading all your post! Please keep us informed of how you are doing! You are in my prayers...

Congrats to everyone for their surgery dates! I have mine June 3rd! I cannot believe that's only a few days. I have been trying to get all the laundry done, house cleaned, etc so my mother-in-law won't feel obligated to do it. She is coming in Tuesday to watch our four boys. I am still on the emotional roller coaster. So ready to get off that darn thing! How is everyone doing???
