That is such a good idea, adding protein to v8!! Love it!!

I completely understand. Day 4 through 7 were the most difficult abd emotional days for me, it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I made dinner for my family for the 1st time last night (I had done precooking and freezing for them) and that was rough for me. Managed not to cry but its not easy. Listen to your body and rest, you need it. We are healing and not eating. My surgery was 4/14 and I can say it does get better. All I can think about is wanting cream of wheat and cottage cheese but I'm trying to stay greatful that I could add yogurt and v8. You so got this, just take comfort in the fact that you are not alone and we are all here and going through it and ready to support eachother

Congratulations!! How are you feeling, how is everything?

Congratulations!! How are you feeling?

That's fantastic!! How are you doing?

Awesome! How are you feeling? How's everything going for you so far?

I'm so glad your ok, that is incredibly scary. So glad you are feeling better. Wow, that weight loss is incredible!

Your amazing!!! Thank you, I literally just downloaded it in 30 seconds on my kindle. Much appreciated for the amazing share.

My pleasure! I got mine on amazon

I have the fitindix scale that does that!! It was an inexpensive one I found on Amazon, so cool!! I got the measuring tape thing too taht links to the app. I'm sorry you have struggles as well. As horrible as it sounds it feels reassuring to know that someone else has had the same feelings and that it may be normal for some of us. I cried for days thinking I "ruined my life", which is insanity because this is the complete opposite but when your deep in the feelings it's hard to see clearly sometimes. I'm so thankful that I am now back to my normal mindset and know that this is 100% for the best (hard but a blessing). I understand what you mean about weighing yourself. I don't think that there is a right or wrong approach. I know once I get on that scale it's going to be a battle to nit do it everyday forsure. Same to you, have really enjoyed talking to you

I had the mini bypass because of my acid reflux, I have 4 incisions. That's great, you are kicking butt!! I need to do better with my water. My energy is getting better too and I'm so thankful for that. I havent weighed myself yet, to nervous... just don't want to get discouraged. I had a solid 4 days of literal mourning my food addiction and second guessing and had been an emotional disaster so the last few days have been a blessing that I'm feeling better.

It's so weird how different everyone's plans are. It would be nice if the medicalnl community would all get together on one plan. I was a different surgeons plan today and it allows beans, cottage cheese and cream of wheat on day 7!!! How are you feeling overall? I'm still having pain above my belly button area.

I'm on stage 2 of liquids which allowed me to add in protein shakes, v8 and yogurt. I'm on that until the 2 week mark.

Me too!!!!! How are you doing? I had my first yogurt today!

I did mine in Mexico so my answer may differ a bit. I thought I was going to be bummed that my hubs wasn't there but I wasn't at all, I was just so tired and slept a lot. Tooth brush/paste Moisturizer Face wash Phone charger Book or kindle Hairbrush Extra compression socks

Yay! Congratulations!! So happy for you, you are going to rock it! Post any questions you have or anything you need, everyone is really helpful!

The past few days were real rough for me but today was a bit of a turn around in mood thankfully. I am sending you lots of love and positivity for tomorrow to be better

Congrats!!! That's awesome that you can also have veggies!! Enjoy them, even if they aren't your favorite just trust me it's a treat from all liquid. You got this!

Awesome!!!! Congratulations!!

I had a mini bypass 4/14 and accused my surgeon of stabbing me under my left rib several times lol. I've been taking my pain meds consistently!!! My worst area now is above the navel. The hardest part for me has been the mental aspect of not being able to eat. Just going through a lot of emotions and anger about it which is really unfortunate because I have been so ready, excited, prepared for this... but, here I am anyway.

I completely understand, I'm day 5 post op and have been struggling with the mental aspects of food sooooo bad. It's been pretty defeating. I'm really glad your ok. Hey, some times we have to learn the hard way. That does sound delish! Thanks for the recommendation

Need some help.... Day 4 post gastric bypass and I just can't stomach the broth. I bought a variety of different types, also bone broth and bariatric soup broths as well as pre made and froze my own. I hate everything!!! Its literally that dramatic for me right now... I can't even stomach the thought of drinking any of it. Send help I'm having a lot of regrets at the moment.

That's incredible!!! Are you thinking you may not need to do it now? If I were you I would ask myself "can I keep going and maintain this without the surgery date pending?" Obly you know what is right for you

Sucaralose causes stomach upset. I wouldn't drink that much artificial sweetner. Hope your feeling better

2 days post op and extreme diarrhea (sorry). Is this normal guys??? I can't even drink a sip of water without it coming out. Again, so sorry just don't know what to do
