1 month. i guess it will be better as the time goes by....

I wish I had known that I felt nauseous by eating anything....

I need new friends!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm doing pretty good now. I had my one week followup today. They pulled my drain and I don't have to wear the abdominal binder all the time anymore. I will probably sleep with it since rolling over can be rough. My incisions are healing good but my whole belly itches like crazy! I am 19 lbs down from pre-surgery appt, 8 from the pre-surgery diet and 11 since surgery. I'm not gonna lie the first few days I was miserable. The gas pain after surgery is no joke. Between that and not getting to my room until 8pm it kept me in the hospital an extra night. Then first time I tried the Prevacid sprinkled in applesauce I end up getting sick 3 times and went to ER to get checked being home less than 10 hours. I didn't want to get dehydrated my 1st night home. Nothing has sounded or tasted good to me except pretty much ice Water. Couldn't stand the SF Jello or broth. So I was happy to go up to full liquids today. I have taken it slow and only done soy milk in decaf coffee and tomato Soup for dinner with my hubby and kids. Plus they told me to start the D3 again, B12 and any probiotic that is a tablet. Still a lot of gas and cramping. But I am trying to get steps in. Tomorrow will be a real test going Christmas shopping and being out for the first time for any length of time/distance. Did I mention the added bonus of having my period since surgery? I've not missed it one bit since it stopped when I got my Mirena IUD in Sept 2014. I didn't realize how much I had to say lol. I still can't believe I am on the other side of this surgery. Very surreal My god! Christmas Shopping? You are wonder woman! THank you for sharing the update. I know you will be fine. Happy Holidays!

OMG, you are amazing! Look at those arms! What do you do?
