  1. Oil of Olay carries it and so does anything with cocoa butter. @jburden
  2. I'm still in a lot of discomfort. I am not getting all my liquids and fluids in like I need to. It's so hard. I wake up every morning with a damn headache. I think it's the pain meds making me sick though. I am glad to hear from ya'll though cause I need to hear ya'lls stories and experiences to keep me going.
  3. I'm gonna try that then. Because I am moving ALOT of gas but nothing with it
  4. I haven't had a BM for a while but I haven't had any solids so how can I have a bm??
  5. @@Ktprimo surprisingly I am feeling better too. Just suddenly everything is kicked in. I have almost 2 shakes down and a whole bottle of water.
  6. I just had mine on the 30th too and experiencing the exact same things you are. Are your headaches better if you sleep in an upright position? I'm going to try that tonight. Yes I also have all the rumbling and sharp little pangs when I am sipping anything.
  7. Good news everything went well!!!

  14. So tomorrow is my surgery. I am super excited about. I have been on my 14day pre-op diet. I did slip twice. And last night I celebrated by have two bloody Marys. No liquor thye were virgin. Am I ruined for surgery now??? I really want this to happen and I am so blessed for this opportunity! Please don't judge me. I am not a regular drinker but.last night was special.
  15. My surgery is on Monday and honestly I'm getting cold feet idk if I'm ready to have a part of me removed forever feels good to know someone else is out there like me.
  16. Can I be honest? I am scared to death! I have so any fears......am I alone?? June 30 is so close ????????????
  17. I was wondering if there are foods I will NEVER eat again. For example I like mac and cheese and potato salad. I also love regular salad. Can someone let me know?? Even A small portion.
  18. @@jas84047 cheer up!! This is the greatest place to let it out. Everyone on here let me know I didn't fail and that I was human. The same goes for you!! We all fall. The pint is to remember we are here to pick you up when you fall. So chin up! We will get through this together... 9 days till surgery for me!
  19. Thanks everyone. I really think this is the greatest support I have found so far. I am back in the saddle and ready to fight this demon. Also I will tell my counselor tomorrow. My NUT assured me that it's not as big of a deal as I am making it out to be. To many of your points it was steak not a sundae or cake! Hahaha. Surgery is still scheudled for the 30th. This is a great support system. Thanks again.
  20. Well I was on day 5 of my pre-op diet and I fell...I fell hard. I'm scared and mad at the same time. I know I am supposed to be on a liquid diet but DAMN!!! It's so hard. I had 3 french fries and several pieces of steak. I am a failure but I was so hungry.Please give me some tips on how not to fail the next 10 days. I really want to succeed!!! I am so embarrassed.
  21. @@Licia no caffeine?? I am allowed two cups of caffinated coffee and unlimited sf tea. Good for you girl!! Keep it up! We will get through this !!!
  22. No you are not doing anything wrong. I'm on day 5 liquid diet and I don't have any headaches either. I am tired but I also have 3 kids i chase around. You are doing fine! thanks rose. Today is day 4 and I did have a small headache earlier and now I am hungry. Only slightly though. Thanks for the encouragemnet
  23. Thank you all for responding cuz I really don't know what to expect after my surgery. I'm scheduled to be sleeves on June 30th and I've just always been told that I wouldn't be hungry but I'm in my pre op diet right now of liquid and I'm not hungry but I'm bored hungry. Does that make sense? Like I wanna eat but only cause I'm bored. I hate that feeling !! I was literally crying on my last day of food because I knew I was eating out of boredom. It made me really sad.
  24. Well I got a phone call Tuesday from my advocate who told me to go ahead and start my liquid diet so I did. However she did tell me that she hadn't even submitted the paperwork to my insurance company yet so currently I'm on a fast and a potential date of June 30th and I still don't know if I'm having surgery. I'm doing the fast but I'm really anxious and I'm nervous and I'm afraid that I'm doing it for nothing.
  25. I didn't have all that. I did have an EGD (upper Endoscopy) and for the most part my dr. Says I'm pretty healthy. All of my illnesses is from my weight. I am scheduled to be sleeved June 30. Good luck with your test @ktprimo. I am sure all will be fine.
