It's okay - don't feel bad. Every surgeon has a different plan just I just have to go with the flow and trust my surgeons plan. I do get to have tomato soup which is my absolute favorite - so as of now I'm a happier camper. My scale and my surgeons scale are very different - so I'm waiting to see the official scale tomorrow. But my mom and sister keep going on about they swear I've already lost inches - even though I feel so bloated I'm not going to fight them on that hahaha

I'm pretty puny today too. But I woke up in the middle of the night coughing and wasn't able to go back to sleep. I'm not allowed to have yogurt yet???? I love yogurt. I have until next Wednesday on Soups, juices, and Popsicles.

Hi everyone- My surgery date is July 7th and I am so excited for my new tummy! However I have a few questions for those of you who are years/lots of months post op- I'm only 22 and a recent graduate of college, but I know that a way to connect with old friends is by catching up at happy hour/celebrating an engagement or wedding - how do yall handle carbonation? Here in Texas, girls love beer and when I Celebrate special occasions I like to toast with champagne- will I ever be able to handle that?

So I have my surgery date set (July 7th!) but I am a nanny for my 6 month old niece - how long am I not allowed to hold her? I'm 22 and active (if that helps at all?) - I know this is major abdominal surgery but I love taking care of her and don't want to leave her parents in that predicament

Thanks- I've never had surgery before so I was starting to panic

I only got in 2 oz of strawberry low fat yogurt, 2 oz of G2, 2oz of broth with a quarter scoop of protein and 6oz of water. Not even close to the recommended daily protein or fluid intake. Don't know how I'm gonna do this. I don't wanna eat or drink at all. Never thought I'd hate the idea of food and drink so much. I don't even know how to tell if I'm full cuz I constantly feel full and I'm force feeding myself. Thought I was doing good this morning until I realized how little I consumed. Hope tomorrow is better. I feel the same way - it's like I feel so bloated I may pop! Question: do yall get over heated really quickly? And does anyone feel pain when the take a deep breath?

I'm 3 days post op and haven't felt hungry yet. I've been drinking a lot of water to stay hydrated and drink a little chicken broth - but I was wondering when everyone else started to feel hunger?

@@Debbieduck4 thank you for the well wishes and your input! And happy surgiversary!!!

I'm still on clear liquids today - so I've had vitamin water, water, and chicken broth. But tomorrow I can add protein shakes, and creamy soups!

I had my surgery on the 30th and was able to come home that day with this new 72 hour pain pill my surgeon put inside me, so now that it is starting to wear off in getting the real deal. It's still not as bad as I was expecting but I am a lot more puny today. I slept through the night perfectly! Which was so nice because I didn't the night before. I've been able to keep down Water, Vitamin water, and chicken broth. I'm still taking my nausea medicine- just as a precaution. And I'm still doing pain medicine every 4 hours during the day since I'm active. With just a little incision pain/soreness - I've been able to walk a mile on the 30th and 2 miles yesterday which really really really helps get rid of the gas. (To add on to whoever was talking about the small farts- they get bigger and better to give you something to look forward to hahaha ????)

@@judyoz - how far out from surgery are you?

I'm just sore right now and I try to walk a such as I can to get rid of the gas pain - and walking does help!! I feel like my main issue will be getting back on my sleeping pattern. Because I napped so much during the day, I woke up at a weird time this morning which is going to make me want to nap all day. And so the cycle will continue. But considering its my worse issue currently- I'm considering myself blessed

I'm only the second out patient procedure my doctor has done- the first one was my mom, so since I knew the inside scoop and I'm paying for it myself I asked for it

Amen! That's been the worst part so far

@@fatsolovescandy - thank you! And that's exactly what I'm doing right now to drink my water!

Hi yall - my surgery was at 9:30 and all went smoothly! My surgeon was really awesome and made it an out patient procedure I have been home since about 2:30. I've been sleeping a lot since then and taking the long way to get anything I need so I can get some extra walking in. (It's raining outside so I'm stuck doing laps in the house haha!) Right now my only issues are the trapped gas and tenderness in the incision where the stomach was pulled out. My goal right now is to just get some Water in - which is a very slow process! Luckily my momma has been able to help me through it since she's just now starting normal food! Happy to be on the losers bench and can't wait for everyone to join! Good luck to those who are having their surgeries soon!

Same for me last day of liquid diet surgery tomorrow at 10So excited for you all!! Here to your new life!!Happy surgery day!

I'm scheduled for tomorrow (June 30th) at 9 am! CW: 285 Height: 5'9" Goal: 160-175 (although anything in the hundreds would be sooooo sweet!) Yay June 30th people
