Congrats! I pray that ull recover nicely, luk ur progress:)

Congratulations Cindy! How are you feeling?

I'm doing okay, not much pain but I'm having a tough time getting liquids down. Hoping today will be better.

I'm glad you're doing well. I've read that warm tea is easier to keep down. I'm sure you'll do better each day. Good luck!

Thank you. It's a combination of things. I have an overall nauseous feeling and with every drink it increases. Also some gas pain so that doesn't help. Trying to just get down what I can. Just finished an unjury chocolate Protein drink, thinner than usual so some success

Hmm...how to describe the inability to get water down? I feel stuffed, like I just don't want any. When I force it, because I need to, my belly is all gurgly. I know that's partially to the gas from surgery. Just have to keep forcing sips constantly! I will say that my Unjury protein shake (heavily watered down) seems to be going smoother.

First, Ty 4 answering me, n second, I'm glad that the unjury is working so u don't get dehydrated.

And some people seem to think that havn surgery is the easy way out NOT KNOWING what you have to go threw after its over w!! To bad ignorance is free bc so many people have it! If they charged for it, we wud all b better off. Stay strong n keep drinking as much as yall can!! You all r doing gr8:)

I'm on the 27th

I openly talk about my weight loss surgery to those with questions/concerns. I'm of the camp that WLS is definitely not an easy way out. It really is a tool that you have to take care of and use properly for desired results. I know of many who haven't really changed their relationship with food, thus gaining back much of the weight they lost. My reason for having WLS was to give me a forced behavior modification so that I physically can't overeat - healthy or junk food (ex. eating 6 "Skinny Cow" ice cream bars in one sitting can still make ya fat!). WLS is definitely a tool - why not use it? Life doesn't have to be difficult!

Great information....

Day 4 post op....much better today- hard part is drinking constantly to get all the liquids in....sore more then anything. Had a bad nite just couldn't get comfortable to sleep. Hoping tonite is better. Did some light cleaning and that made feel better. Thursday I see the doctor and Tuesday I Finally get to drive! Tomorrow is the introduction to full liquids- can't wait!

When I do have my Clear Liquids sometime if I take one little drop more at a time when I sip I have some nasty pain....but no vomiting!

Each day is better and better and I can't wait to get back to normal - I just downloaded a ton of Bariatric Friendly recipes to try (and I'm not really a cook) so this should be a fun new journey!

Hope everyone else is having a smooth time!

Congrats n gl...have a gr8 n speedy recovery:)

Where did the ou download them from? I could use some ideas.

Sleeping is a little uncomfortable but have found sleeping in a recliner to be much easier for me. Getting all req liquids down is rough. Aside from that and abdominal soreness, doing pretty good. Feeling a little better each day.
