  1. I am five days out today also , thank you for your post , I was worried because I haven't lost 20 lbs since surgery , taking things one day at a time , seeing the dr today . Looking forward to the coming weeks
  2. Thank you so much for your message , it hit home with me , I am 59 and really my issues where my knees and feet . I have two sweet grandchildren and a wonderful husband . I just was reading about all the folks that are anxious , seeing therapist , nut's, measuring counting , over thinking a lot . I just told my husband is there something wrong with me ? I'm just one day at a time , using common sense on what I eat and do . I am today 5 days out , feeling good and excited . Your message made me feel good and I can't wait until I and 50 or so pounds down . #onedayatatime #dontoverthink
  3. Not sure , but my dr checks before surgery is over and the morning before you go home , that is when u stand in front of a screen drink while they watch , two sips was it but was horrible . That is my only complaint
  4. For sure the pre op diet is the worst part . It can be brutal at times on the mind and the body . Hang tuff it will get better ????
  5. No gas pains at all , vomited only once in the hospital after I had to drink that awful stuff to see if I had any leakage , it came right back up nasty . Other than that it's been fine . I could not be more happy with the outcome and how I feel .
  6. Waiting week , going in tomorrow to do a couple of things I need to and then I'm off the rest of the week
  7. I'm chewing flintstone chewable vit , 2 a day with iron , doing good
  8. Good luck , it will be fine
  9. Day three after my October 22 surgery , I am doing wonderful , surgery went so well , and the days after went well . I am so excited about how the future will be . Taking a few more days off work to get my food and my sore tummy I shape . This experience has been better than I ever expected . Thankful for my family and my doctor ! They have been great ❤️#feelingblessed

  13. Home from the hospital , doing ok , eating a Popsicle right now , a little sore but glad to have it in my past . The anthesia dr just tore my throat up , told him what size tube I needed from surgeries , he decided that he was going bigger , my throat is horrible as is my neck , but this will pass .

We will be fine , what am I taking to the hospital , we'll still trying to decide , prob 2 pairs of Pj's , slippers , and that's as far as I have gotten .
