I hope everyone is doing great post op. Mine was April 23, 2019. Today is April 27 and I am 16 pounds down. Pain is gone, no nausea. Sometimes a little discomfort when drinking broth. I am not feeling any hunger. However, I am very tired and sleepy alot. Maybe it due to the low calories. Tomorrow I start the protein shakes.
When is everyone returning to work? I was told I can return Tuesday the 30th.
Good luck to all of you and enjoy your start to a new and better life!

I had surgery on Thursday, went home on Friday. Getting enough liquids was a struggle. I’ve always been a water drinker, but since surgery it tastes like metal. Now I’m drinking 4oz of broth an hour. I’m going to try to drink some shake again tonight. Overall I feel good. The nausea is almost gone, as is the gas. Like you guys, I’m really interested to see what my weight loss will look like.

Yea drinking was a big issue for me, but this morning I started off drinking some of my protein drink. Then an hour later I had a small amount of yogurt and took my pain meds and went to sleep. I woke up and had some more of the protein shake and I will be sipping on water and later I will have some broth.. hopefully I get enough fluids in today. Only thing is I'm not sure if I'm going over the amount or if I'm under.. I was able to pass gas last night (sorry TMI ) but they kept asking me if I did or not. Lol

I'm doing well thanks for asking... I was released from the hospital yesterday my surgery was on Monday they didnt want to release me because I wasn't drinking g enough fluids. It was so hard to get anything down. But I fell much better now. I didnt really have any gas pain, it was more nausea for me I threw up twice after surgery. But I'm home now resting and keeping hydrated. How was your surgery?

I'm really curious to see how much weight I lost since surgery but I still feel so bloated so I don't want to get discouraged if I still have water weight from surgery. I started 264 in jan and my surgery weight was 235. I'm excited to see how the weight comes off us too [emoji4]

Surgery was Monday. No nausea, thank goodness but the incision pain has been horrible. I walked all the gas out before I left the hospital. All people talked about was the gas pain...I guess I missed the part about in incision pain. Had some chicken broth today that was fabulous. Please remind me the first couple weeks are the hardest!

Wishing you all a safe and easy surgery today!!

Well today is Surgery Day! I pray that everyone has a safe a fast surgery today. I pray that we all recovery and hopefully not be in so much pain. I continue to pray for strength in all of us and courage to continue this journey thereafter. Many blessings to each and everyone of you today. In Jesus name I pray. Amen[emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]

A lot of you on Monday April 22nd, isn't there? Its like " Easter Monday- hmmmm believe I'll do a few weight l i as surgeries while I'm feeling fine and froggy!" Best wishes to each and every one of you. May every little thing go smooth and may your pain be manageable and ,most of all , may you each have a beautiful future!! Update us, let us know how things are going for you!❤???

Tomorrow is the big day for me. I will be so glad when it is finally over. Mainly because I think one of the worst parts of waiting is having had all this time to think of all the things that could possibly go wrong, and wondering/worrying how the pain and nausea and such will be for me. I pray that all of you who are about to have your surgery that all will go well and a speedy recovery for you all. I pray that all those who just had the surgery will have a speedy recovery as well.

I'm having a really hard time on this just liquids diet. My head hurts and I'm super hungry. My surgery is Monday so I have a few more days left.. good luck to everyone
