Make sure you drink drink drink. Headaches are a sign of dehydration. Also don't do too much strenuous activity/ exercise. You don't have the calories to allow for it.

Day 5 of low carb pre op of Optifast 6 times per day. Wondering what types of food allowed if not on optifast?

Having a ruff time here. I have fibromyalgia so my pain was almost unbearable at times. I am just starting to be able to move around more and its getting easier everuday as it should. I am doing the full liquids at the moment and I dnt know how much I'm suppossed to eat and I can't really tell if I'm full but I feel hungry shortly after so maybe I'm not eating enough. I have been eating 2 oz of creamed Soup. I think I'm scared to get to full and feel horrible or throw it back up. How is your pain and food intake going?

So sorry you're hurting....I just feel really weak and like I've done hundreds of sit ups. Walking has helped a lot. However, today I just haven't felt well. I went from being so constipated and gassy to pooping out everything that goes in. I have taken Gas x and Miralax the last two days so I guess it's doing it's job. I've only had a few ounces of chicken broth and I've managed to get down one Premier Protein shake throughout the day.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
