Wow!!!! Congrats!

Im sorry when I first read it i thought it said 4 weeks also. My bad, hope you get answers and its nothing serious.

Lovenox is the blood thinner they use most frequently to keep from getting blood clots. You more than likely got some of it in the hospital. Alot of people have to continue it for a short period after surgery.

Did you have to do the lovenox injections? If so for how long? Im guessing it could just be from the blood thinners.

If you have acid reflux or similar issues then i was told not to do sleeve. I am having bypass next week. I chose it because Ive seen alot of revision stories (not saying sleeve isnt good or doesnt work because there are many success stories as well) but for me personally, I wanna make sure I only have to go through it once. I figure ill go all in. I realize i am at higher risk for vitamin deficiencies, but i will happily replace my blood pressure meds etc. with vitamins if it means being a healthier weight!

I was allowed any type

If your surgery was 4 days ago, how has the scale stayed the ssme for 5 days?

Thank you!!!

Congrats and good luck!

Congrats on your loss. It is so hard!

So, see you do believe in prayer!

I have no problem with that. Just dont make a voodoo doll of me....lol

Good! I hope it all works out!

Today is day 10 and the only thing i want is a slice of cheese pizza!

Good luck!

I cant believe you all lost so much during the 2 wk pre op diet. Im halfway and havent really lost much of anything!

My surgery is the 28th, im sure I will feel the same way!

I've read NUMEROUS posts on here about a dreaded 3rd wk stall. Everyone says they seem to hit it 3 wks post op. I wouldn't think its necessary to go back to liquids. Just keep following your plan and let your body adjust.

I would simmer it with carrots, onions, celery, garlic etc like you would for chicken noodle soup and then strain it. might give it more of a "meal" feeling.

I was just cranky and complaining....lol. Today is day 7 and im managing. Thank you for your advice

I get not PUSHING beliefs on others, but i dont feel any of your posts have ever done this. There are people talking about being vegan after surgery, just because I am not vegan doesnt mean i cant read or need to be offended that they are different. Whats going to happen if a non Christian reads your post? Will it burn holes through their retinas, no! I feel that whether i share it or not, if someone is using their beliefs in a positive way, there is no harm done. This world needs as much POSITIVITY as it can get! I welcome, thoughts, vibes, prayers to whatever god u believe in, because the fact that you took a minute of YOUR day to do something positive for me is very thoughtful. Just my opinion......

For the record, my surgery is next Tuesday and i welcome your prayers!

It is rare, thats for sure.

Freedom of speech. You do know you can block a person if you dont like or want to see what they are saying, right?

Alot of people say dry mouth spray comes in handy. I plan to take my own pillow too. Those beds are uncomfortable enough, let alone a flat pillow. I will also be able to use it to hold against my stomach as support on the car ride home.
