Just had my surgery on Wed. Want to tell you 'bout it
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yay! I'm glad I could help! Just research, research, research! Don't be like some of these people who go in to get the surgery done and don't even know they're supposed to sip their liquids, or don't know what foods to stay away from etc. Don't be like them. -
Your exercise routine

Do you think The exercises I'm doing is enough to prevent skin saggage? -
What are some foods that taste differently to you
Autumn Riley Arnold posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Name the foods that now taste differently to you since you had the surgery. So far, for me, since I'm only 9 days out, there's this Water that I get from Aldi that has a very sugary taste. Also, milk tastes a little *off* now. How about you? -
Just had my surgery on Wednesday and just this afternoon, water now tastes sugary!!! It could be worse. It could taste salty, but its weird that my taste buds really have changed.

Whoa!

Congrats on your surgery date! I'm 10 days out from mine. If I could go through it all over again, I wouldn't have been as nervous as I was and would have been more excited. There really was nothing to worry about. -
Your exercise routine
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very good! I think I might be over doing it on the strength training. I want to do my upper body every other day and on the days I'm not doing it, build up the muscles on my legs, but I REALLY want to stay on top of my triceps. So I work them out every day. -
Tired all the time
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, it is some of the worst pain out there! At one point it felt like my rib was broken! Sounds like you're doing great!! Shouldn't be too much longer, maybe one of two more days if you keep up the walking! xo -
I'm tired of being tired and hungry
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Capricorn86's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dude, really? It could be so much worse! I've been on the clear liquid diet for 2 weeks and a day! Nothing but water, Gatorade, Broth, popsicles and Jello. TWO WEEKS, man!! lol -

Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sounds like it's gas. That's the only pain I really had and it was bad. You need to walk, walk, walk! I walked for 2 miles yesterday and now it must be completely gone because for the first time since surgery I have zero pain! =) -
Just had my surgery on Wed. Want to tell you 'bout it
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks!! -
Whoa!

Sounds like a good idea, Djmohr -
Whoa!
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
But I think they do put chlorine in the water at hospitals to get your hands cleaner. Clean hands of nurses and doctors are important. But you'd think they'd give you bottled water there and not from the tap. -
Whoa!
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh, wow! yeah, see, it can be SO much worse. Does the water you drink at home taste any better? -

Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh, sweet! Nice to know that I've helped someone! Yeah, if I could go back in time, I would have been more excited and waaaay less nervous. I was actually crying when they were all bustling around me putting in IVs, putting blankets on me, hair net, etc! Yeah, if I could go back, I would just be smiling from ear to ear! lol! -

Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Right? I didn't even care about them before! Oh, there might have been one or two, like a Golden Corral or Red Lobster one (btw, I would never eat at Golden Corral, very unhygienic there), but it seems like NOW, ALL the commercials are making me drool. There was a commercial that wasn't even ABOUT food, I think it was about football, but someone was eating nachos and I was like, UGHHHHHH! lol -

Another liquid diet post
Autumn Riley Arnold replied to Autumn Riley Arnold's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yeah, I just went to a website and it said as long as it's the unflavored protein powder, it's fine! =) I'm happy because it really fills me up! -
Another liquid diet post
Autumn Riley Arnold posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomorrow I go on the 3 day, clear liquid diet, before my Surgery on Wednesday. Man, the nerves are REALLY kicking in! Every time I think about it, I get butterflies. Can you guys please just give me a little support and encouragement that I can wake up to tomorrow morning? Maybe it won't be so bad if I can look at the things you've said from time to time when it gets hard. -

And Criztian: Do you guys have to do the clear liquid diet before your surgeries? -
Just making sure... need your input
Autumn Riley Arnold posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm just making sure, it IS ok to have unflavored protein powder mixed into my clear liquids, right? -

I'm getting conflicting answers about this from different people so I'm going to call my Dr.'s office (I hope they're open today) and see if it's ok. Thanks for the help guys! -
