Malisafos

I had sugery on a friday and drove home from my daughters on Sunday felt ok but not the best the drive was 2 hours long

I found that a SPORTS BRA was a life saver...really did help

four holes and a port incision.

Erin you and I were banded on the same day and I weighed today and was told by my doctor to only weigh on the surgery day and that is Friday I am down 22 lbs from pre-op diet to date. 6lbs this week.. we can do this Erin it's hard but I know it will get easier as time passed hang in and let do this together.

normal? Today I got to eat mushy (anything I could mush with afork ) 2 teaspoons of cream of wheat for breakfast, 3tablespoons of mash potaoes for lunch and about an ounce of boiled squash for dinner scared to death to eat any more then that but really I am not hungry but I know I have to eat to start to feel normal. other then the discomfort at the port site I feel pretty good ( banded July 31)

your not on your own kid we are all here to help each other some people just will not be able to except the fact that we have taken control of our lives to be healthy so just hang in we are here for the same reason

I am in the same boat but my doctor said that is what is holding the skin together so I will leave them on until either they fall off or doctors says to take them off,

Erin the shower does feel good and you may feel faint but the shower is worth it . as far as being bored with broth feel the same I think I will give herb tea a try I too am looking forward to mushy food

walk walk walk and walk some more my back is still sore but I think its's getting better too. I just drank some chicken broth and feel like I want to throw up I hope these feelings go away really soon. I hope walking helps you too.

Oh I feel your pain you and I both had sugery on the same day and I feel like crap. even water taste yucky but atleast I got rid of this air bubble that decided to settle under my left breast and shoulder. the only thing that really hurts is the port site all the other are fine. Good luck honey we can do this ..

20 lbs in a less then a month wow congrates keep up the good work ...:thumbup:

I am also July 31 good luck to all I am in Texas :thumbup:

On my way to the store before I start eating ummmmm the couch...lol thanks any other ideas would be great.

Mine is on Friday July 31 I am also not going to have hubby with me he has to work ( in Alaska I am in Tx ) and yes I am very nervous and excited. hang in there we will be fine. New life to look forward too. Good Luck .......and God Bless

I am drinking lots of water but my shakes are really good it is something my Dr markets it is called AMAZErx.com his name is Rick Carter and he made the stuff himself and it taste like a milk shake I mix it with water and 2 ice cubs and it goes down good if I could just get my mind off of the fact that I want to chew something. any ideas ?:biggrin:

I am also having surgery on the 31st and yes the headache and diarrhea are present and accounted for but i think it will all be worth it in the end.....think thin thin thin ...........
