Feeling Horrible
Do mint flavored decaf tea! Hot goes down so much better for me and the mint (especially peppermint) naturally soothes the stomach for nausea Feel better!

question.
Hot decaf herbal tea, sugar free popsicles and protein shakes were a life saver (still are) I still struggle to get more than 40 - 45 oz a day. HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 172 5’6”

NSV (since the scale seems stuck)
I desperately need new bras now (!!).... and One of the only places around here that is not in the mall like Victoria secret that measures - Is the plus size store. I walked in and the saleswoman asked me if I knew it was a plus size store and asked if I was in the right place!? It felt awesome… Also definitely a little rude and disrespectful - they had no problem accepting my money before —but felt awesome at the time!

Keeping Food Down
Ask for an anti nausea patch before surgery. Life saver. I haven’t vomited since surgery but as birdynz said- I’ve spit up or regurgitated “foamies” but nothing like vomiting HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 172 5’6”

Some Advice Please!
Hi First- I’m so sorry about your husband. I hope his surgery goes well tomorrow! My Dr told me that I could drive as soon as I felt able and no longer taking pain medications. For me that could have been 2 days . My surgery was super easy and no issues at all- I hope yours is the same Good luck tomorrow HW 242, SW 236- (Bypass 12/20/17) GW#1- 199 [emoji736] (2/11/18) GW#2- 180 [emoji736] (4/2/18) GW#3- 160 CW 172 5’6”

C-PAP machine??
Same as apple203.... but told me to bring the accessories (tube, mask etc) and they’d have the base machine. They didn’t have one but I was asked why I wasn’t using my cpap about 20 Times over the two nights stay bc I was having a hard time breathing while sleeping. (They monitor your vitals obviously through the wires etc) Long story short—. Bring yours!

Frustrated with surgeon's office...
I was told to give them 1 week and then be a pain-- do it! . I had a fixed schedule too for surgery so I can understand. Good luck and update us when you can!

Feeling like my life is over
Sorry youre experiencing this! Have you had discussions with your Dr around food? I know it isnt your direct and most immediate issue right now -- but shrimp that early sounds really awful. Good luck and hopefully youre on the mend now. Just focus on your protein drinks and water...heal.
