  1. Thanks everyone! I'm definitely not dehydrated then...peeing and clear:thumbup1:! hahaha Richmond doesn't do the Protein shakes? That's odd:confused1:, how do they ask that you get your protein in during the full liquid phase? Random: I was wanting some BBQ today!!! :scared0:Ughhhhhhhhhh Lovingly, monica:001_tongue:
  2. So I'm 5 days out and feeling shame! Shame on me that I couldn't learn to control what I ate and allowed myself to become morbidly obese! Shame on me because now I'm here sipping DISGUSTING Protein shakes because I couldn't control what I ate! Shame on me, there are so many healthy & delicious foods that I chose not to eat enough of and chose the others! Shame on me, now I'm laying here with less than 20% of my stomach. WTH!!!?? Shame on me. RANT OVER. Just had to get it off my bloated chest/stomach!!! LOL Have any of you felt this way? Lovingly, monica:001_tongue:
  3. How do I know if I'm dehydrated?? It's the consistency of the protein that makes me gag...so thick, like I'm drinking goo!:crying: Is the unflavored why protein powder make food gooey too? I'm forcing a protein bullet down today...God help me!:thumbup: Thanks for your advice! I'm grateful for all of you and your kind words:001_wub:! Lovingly, monica:001_tongue:
  4. :wink0:Hi ladies! Thank you for thinking of me! I'm officially 5 days out and thank God surgery was uneventful. So here's what's going on: I have PCOS and got a cycle the day after surgery! Incredible but why now during recovery!!! Ughhh! I'm started Full liquids yesterday (greek yogurt, applesauce 2 oz at a time) but the Isopure which would give me Protein makes me ill and Protein shakes sound horrendous right now. Any suggestions? I'm not getting 1/4 of the liquids I need. The bloating is FINALLY starting to work it self "out" LOL I'm walking, and oh no BM yet. Any suggestions!??? Lovingly, monica Oh yeah, day before surgery I was 222lbs, day of surgery 215lbs and today 209lbs) But I'm not feeling great about it because I feel ughhhh!:crying:
  5. My surgery was on the 22nd and I'm not feeling so hot. My incisions aren't painful so I'm not taking my pain RX. But I'm bloated, bloated, bloated! I'm taking my Gas X and nothing is happening. I'm walking around the house and around the block too! By the way, what are the foamies?? Karen-Glad to read you're doing so well!:thumbup: Songbird...you were probably being discharged as I was coming out of surgery! Hope you all continue healing! Lovingly, monica:001_tongue:
  6. Hey ladies! My surgery is tomorrow at Kaiser Fremont and I still can't believe it. I'm on my clear liquid diet today and feel like I'm going to pass out but can't because I have my 1.5 year old with me! Any suggestions as to what might help??? I know I sound like a big ol' baby considering others have to do this for 2 weeks!!!!OMG Anyhow, nice to meet you ladies and I hope to talk to you soon! Lovingly, monica
  7. Mary, Judy, Sherri!!!! JUNE 22ND for me too!!!! I'm quietly freaking out also. I've packed...gone over my tiny list 3874 times and am rehearsing in my mind what I have to do within the next 24 hours...drink the magnesium citrate, wash with the soap, Clear liquids only, yada, yada, yada. I've gotten my brows done, pedi, mani, tweezed, shaved...LOL *gulp* Would it be too much to exchange telephone numbers??? I'd be willing to talk just to ease our anxieties and support each other. LMK!!! Lovingly, monica:blush:
  8. Maybe we can walk the halls together...look for me, I'm short & fat. LOL :thumbup: Sorry, couldn't resist.
