Memphis area meet up?
sportsmom2454 replied to oilingwithsass's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hey! Not from Memphis but only 1.5 hrs from there. Live in Missouri and visit down there often. My aunt lives there. I just had my surgery Monday, the 12th. No problems at all. My biggest thing is I’m SICK of a liquid diet!! My protein shakes curb my appetite but I’m just so ready for FOOD, not just drink. I have not cheated at all unless unable to get in all the liquids in a day that they want us to counts. I think I took in too much too fast last night, resulting in dumping. Went to bed to keep from vomiting! I go for my 1 wk post-op on Tuesday and hopefully get my Phase 2 diet. So looking forward to an egg and mashed potato!! -
Yay! Yes that’s what I thought....that richer flavors would do the trick. I never have liked jello so dreading the jello. Thanks for your support. Supporting each other is key!

Pre-Op Liquid Diet Struggle Bus
sportsmom2454 replied to lindseypb's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not that I’m happy about others problems, but it’s good to know I’m not the only one with the problem like lindseypb. That’s when I have the most trouble too. Starting in late afternoon and by 8 or 9, I’m in bed sick as a dog. Don’t want to throw up for fear of dehydration. So go to bed and lie on my stomach. But yes, as one said, we aren’t alone and just have to get through it one day at a time. By Christmas, we can get some oh so cute clothes! I love winter clothes best. So many accessories to use. But at this time, I look like one of those giant men in Game of Thrones! [emoji52] -
That’s awesome. Good luck on your run. I can handle being hungry. It’s just that nausea that hits me hard. So it’s best for me to just go to bed. By 4am, I’m a lot better. Here’s to us, all of us who have taken this giant step toward a healthy life!!

I’m on my 8th day of liquid diet before surgery. I have had 2 or 3 days of strong nausea in the evening; so strong that I had to go to bed. Analogy-like a migraine except in my stomach! Had to have room very quiet and dark etc. The canned broth makes me vomit. So I’m heating Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle soup and straining it. I guess it tastes better because of the little bit of starch from the noodles. Don’t really know. But in order for me to survive the next 2-3 weeks w/o becoming dehydrated and back in hospital, that’s what I’m doing.

sportsmom2454 replied to Alex Brecher's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Magazine
Hello all. I’m starting my liquid diet tomorrow and surgery scheduled for the 12 th. I’m a retired RN, very familiar with different types of diets, surgeries, etc. After comforting and reassuring so many during my career, I AM SO NERVOUS! What if I do it wrong? What if I don’t lose? Did anybody else deal with these feelings?
