So I am a week out of surgery. First couple of days it felt like I did 10 000 sit ups. Today it feels like only doing 500.
Got my walking down, sipping my liquids but need to sip a lot more to meet my goal. I know it doesn't happen overnight.
I start each day with a Boost Diabetic Protein Drink.< /p>
Nice to see there is an app for this.
Hope I get to know others here.
Cheers

I had gone to a friend's get together and I made the cake (do custom cakes as a hobby) it was a boob cake for our friend who is in Stage 4 of cancer.Everyone brought everything to dine on and all of my faves but I unbelievably just drank my Water and my Boost Diabetic...not even a bite of anything. I just kept telling myself that if I don't follow liquid diet to a tee than maybe liver won't shrink enough and I would be turned down for surgery. Didn't want to chance that and day of my surgery (09/28) and was weighed, I was already down 20 lbs.
Hang in there and don't give a rat's ass as to what others may say. Leave negative persons behind.
Much luck

Yeah chewing my meds in order to swallow them was more than disgusting but had to do what I needed to take them when dissolving them wasn't an option.
Look for an app called the bariatric pyramid. It shows you what you should have on hand. Hope this helps

They gave anti nausea meds in IV and they worked like a charm. Not an inkling of nausea

I was on 5 Boost Diabetic Protein shakes a day plus all the Water i could consume. This was two weeks pre-op. This was not easy, especially when I prepared meals for my kid.
But I made it through that part ,surgery was September 28.

I had surgery on September 26, 2016. I was released from the hospital the next day and I'm doing great! My abdomen is a little sore, but otherwise, no issues at all. I weight 185 pounds when I went into the hospital; today I am 172.4! My blood sugar is normal, and I am off meds. Also, my blood pressure is normal and I am off all but one bp medication; and I'm only taking half of that!
No one thought I should have WLS. My husband was against it, but was supportive anyway. None of my friends thought I was heavy enough to have the surgery. But I feel it was worth it because it I feel so good and I'm already off diabetic medications and most of my other meds. So glad I did this!

I am one week out and soft food stage, yes, it's ok, my NUT and MD said it's fine....I have no problem with any foods, no nause, have not thrown up, eating just fine. I'm under 700 calories a day and eating healthy. Compared to what I was doing I'd say this is tremendous.

I would suggest you contact your surgeon.......that's the safest thing to do.
Good luck

I converted from VSG to bypass (because of GERD) on 7/1. I spent 3 nights in the hospital. My dr said I could go home after 2 but for a variety of reasons I chose to stay the extra night
