I've had collected fluid under my skin and had 40cc withdrawn... Starting to feel really hungry also.. My first fill is scheduled for Sept. 7th hope it does the trick also.. I'm still very sore and haven't been able to sleep on my stomach yet and that bothers me.. Was finally told yesterday I can start to exercise and drive.. Hubby got me an exercise bike hope to be able to put it to good use.. I feared I had stretched my pouch also.. Even though all I mostly eat is yogurts, cottage cheese, eggs soups, fish and grilled chicken.. Some crackers too afraid to do pasta, rice or anything that cus I hate to vomit and that's exactly what I did at my daughters in law when she made fried chicken strips.. Thought if I chewed it well enough it would go down but got stuck not even water would push it down and I ended up puking it up... Learned my lesson quick!!!!

robyn how have u been?

OMG Robyn I was so happy to hear from u! Just got home yesterday and I am in so much pain It's not even funny... But hopefully by the end of the week I'll be so much better.. I want to hold my baby girl.. she keeps staring up at me wondering when I'm gonna pick her up! wow hernia repair gosh I know those hurt something.. I'm so glad ur home and on your way to a nice recovery and ditto on those gas X can't live without them these days... Are u hungry yet? I can't figure out if I'm hungry or in pain.. I've tried eating some applesauce or small jar of baby fruit and my stomach is like no way lady don't u dare put anything in there.... But then sometimes I think I have indigestion oh who knows I'm just glad the worst of this is over and in two weeks or so I plan on starting to exercise and be on my way to a healthier me! Take Care,

Lucy

Hey Robyn was just wondering how u made out and how u are feeling.. Getting a bit anxious myself with surgery coming up this friday.. Hope all is well with you.. Take Care Lucy

Not too much info! I used to get those all the time.. Should contact MD think they just have u use hydrocortizone creme... Plus do u have the soap we have to wash with the nite before and morning of surgery... It just may be heat rash... Plus the surgery isn't done down there, it's from the belly button up... Congrats on ur exercise even though u had to lay off for now ur still doing a heck more than I am... Just think positive like this liquid diet is just about over for u!!! Then it's off to takin off the pounds! yeah

Yes I have to agree this liquid diet is for the birds!!! It's only been 4 days for me but I'm dizzy all the time, lightheaded and ready to eat a piece of bread, something, anything!!! How are u doing with the exercise piece? Personally with my asthma I'm afraid of exercising and flaring that up.. Then there goes surgery and i'll have to do this liquid diet all over again!!! Oh heck NO!!! Not to mention I just feel too fat and tired to even lift a leg let alone exercise.. If u have something that's working for u oh please let me know.. I'm just wondering really how soon a person of our size can bounce back after such a surgery... My youngest just turned 6 months and Ima gonna miss picking her up and playing with her...

Talk with u soon,

Lucy

PS May I add u on as a friend?

Hi Robyn wow surgery is just a few days away! Congrats.. I'm scheduled for the 30th can't wait!! I see we are both weighing the same would love to know how u feel and how everything goes for u after and during the surgery... Hit me up and let me know... Best of luck
