mine was gas and constipation. When I had my follow up I told the doc. Gone since they gave me something for constipation.

Ditto. A good California Cab!

so my company has catered break/lunch m-th. Tuesday and today are the only 2 days I am partaking. Today is taco day. I will have 1 oz black beans and 1 oz chicken. I have my little measuring cups too. I cannot wait to get in line with those lol. On Tuesday we had egg bar. So i had them make me a soft scrambled egg. Its about making healthy lifestyle choices. Pre-sugery, on egg day, I would have 4 pcs of bacon and and toast and NO EGG lol. Pre-surgery on taco day I went crazy. Now I cannot go crazy and I want to stay a LOSER!

Im at my 4 week stall. But I am losing inches. I expected it from the comments on this forum

I didnt have to prepay for anything. total OP after insurance was 3k. Could be based on hospital/state

Lol on my post op instructions it says "very gentle sexual intercourse"

Last week I developed a bad nausea episode. I went to doc, I was not dehydrated and they did a ct scan it was negative. The last resort (after 3 diff meds) adivan worked (sp?) That helped a lot and I haven't needed it since. What i think caused it was taking milk of magnesium for my constipation and I'm now lactose intolerant. All well for now but keep asking your doc questions and telling them how feel constantly.

declare! Fortunate where we have unlimited vacation but I'm going back today after 3 weeks mostly because I'm bored!

Yea I have become lactose intolerant. I delclare!

I started pureed today. Its like heaven lol

I take 1-2 oz every 15 mins. I'm up to my 64. Tbh I haven't been able to sleep past 5am so I've been up sipping since then since post op. I use mi0 too and it's a life saver

Just counting down until tomorrow when I can eat baby food yaaay lol I found some really good pureed recipes on bariatric bits. So will be trying the pureed egg salad.

any thoughts on what to do with the protein clear waters? I cannot stomach those. I have peach and I was considering adding to ice tea.

I start pureed stage on Tuesday. I've already got my stuff to make pureed foods. Cannot wait to have food.

5 days post and feeling almost normal. I have been walking 2x a day 10 min each. Yesterday I got 60 grams of Protein in. Today I'm estimating 80. I realized this morning I still like the shakes over the protein Water. I will say I'm getting appetite back and it's all head hunger. I have ordered my pureed groceries for next week as I'm anticipating eating mushy food. As I'm looking forward to phasing out of liquids. My pain is also minimal. I also have not gained or loss since I went in for surgery but I'm not concerned yet about weight. Hope post Novembers are doing well

I just spoke to the surgeon about this bc I got mine (4 days early). This is not uncommon.

I was discharged and home. Yes!

Good luck

Fyi my hospital gave me peppermint to sniff for nausea. It works!! I'm still waiting to get discharged.

Sore. But otherwise ok. I had some nausea but that was yesterday. I've been walking the halls n chatting it up lol. I still need to poop. So todays goal lol. I hope to go home today.

I got no sleep last night lol.

Made it to the other side. Been walking and drinking my water. Lost a total of 24lbs. I'm ready to keep it moving

Wow Congrats. That's awesome. It is exciting. And I'm sticking to it is even more motivating. Glad you're doing well. I will keep you posted on Monday.

thank you for this. this gets me even more pumped and excited for my surgery on Monday! You're an inspiration!

Day 11 and still pumped! I had my pre-op diet weigh in and I have lost a total of 19lbs since I started this! The weekend will be a breeze as Monday is the big day. Surgery is at 10:30 am! WOO
