  2. Dr Roberts ? I've really LOVED the whole staff at his office! Today is day 5 and each day I'm less sore. Although I'll be honest getting the protein water in has be EXTREMELY hard it's so tart tasting that it hurts when it goes down. But like I said it's getting easier everyday to drink more and more water tomorrow I get to start back on my vitamins and protein shakes so I think that will really help me with not feeling so weak.!! Keep me posted on when your surgery day is !!

  4. So tomorrow I go in for the d switch! Super nervous but really excited to see where life takes me now! I did my magnesium citrate tonight which by the way was completely awful!! I've had nothing but water and protein water for 3 days I'm pretty cleared out I think lol so now I have an upset stomach but don't know if it's bc I'm nervous or the drink !

  7. Thank you so much for the info!! I'm glad to finally hear good outcomes ! I feel like I need to stop following the FB groups bc it's nothing but complaining and horror stories!

  11. I did stop all caffeine Wednesday! Finally headache free!![emoji1316]. The picture thing is a good idea!! I will most definitely be doing that!! And I try to walk every day. I coach a softball team and have 2 active kids so I stay pretty active I think! But I know I'm going to have to step it up after surgery so I got a treadmill to help with walking after as well. Is it mostly just gas pain? Does the gas X work well?
  12. I'm scheduled to have surgery April 19! I'm so excited yet so extremely nervous about the after! The doctor made it sound like I'd be ok ( I've had 2 c sections) but the dietitian made it sound like I'd be in hell ( excuse the language) !! I'm active now and have a pretty high pain tolerance. But I'm just super nervous about the following week to month after surgery . I joined a few FB support groups but they have done nothing but scare me even more! Any advise or comments about after surgery?
