My surgery is set for June 4th, sooooo excited! Looking for fun people to have this experience with! Thanks and good luck everyone!

Went back to work. Went well. Was very tired by end of the day but amazed that Friday I felt so bad and went back today .. So amazing. I did finally sleep in my bed but wasn't that comfortable .. Just have pain in stomach area ..think the gas is gone .

Weird how everyone's diets are different . I was told clear for one day.. Full liquids two weeks .. Three days puréed and then soft. On 4th day of full .. And I can't wait to eat real food. Guess that will come soon enough .

I went back to work today and I feel pretty good still. I'm tired' date=' but not exhausted. I'm sorry you're having such a bad day today :-( When can you have a Protein shake? I was allowed at day 3. I hope it gets better dear, hang in there.[/quote']

I thought about you a lot yesterday! Glad everything went well for you back at work! I am on Clear Liquids for the first week- week 2 I can move to solid liquids- Protein shakes her I come!-week 3 is soft, mushed, puréed foods, and week 4 is solid foods. My protein shakes were keepi g me full and right now that's what I am struggling with. Still have some gas:( I go back to the doc tomorrow afternoon and I'm hoping he will let me have a Protein Shake tomorrow night for dinner. If not I cannot wait til Thursday- that will be a week.

On a bright note- since starting my preop diet 15 days ago I have lost 16 pounds:)

Hallelujah!! I just burped!

What a relief!

Sitting at home unable to do much has my mind racing from boredom. However I just realized in 13.7 pounds I will be in Onederland!! I haven't been there in 13 years! Motivation in itself!

Lucky! I'm thinking of going back on my Protein shakes tomorrow. It's day 6 one day early, but I am starving!

Sorry, but what is "Onederland"?

I believe it's when u reach under 200

Yes Onderland is when the first number of your weight starts with a one. 199...150...etc...

Just came from my follow up with the surgeon:) they have released me to solid liquids! So happy! I can have instant mashed potatoes, grits, cream of wheat, yogurt, pudding, cream soups. I stopped an bought some unflavored protein to add in with my food. I will get to go on solid foods July 3:) right in time for the holiday:)
