M going to start this everyone who is in November add your date and where your from . I'm crystal I'm nov 6 I'm in Toronto Canada

First week I wasn't really focused on protein mainly fluids. I'm almost two weeks out now and I'm up to about 60 grams a day but that's a struggle. The fluids have been ok since I am mainly on protein drinks. No other way to hit that number. Hang in there.

Thanks! I figured being focused on the protein would kill 2 birds @ once since they are liquids anyways! Ill keep at it then! I feel great though! Not hungry since I woke up from the operation and not even head hunger! Its amazing. I wonder if I'll get it later....

bakawaka had surgery on November 28' date=' 2012[/quote']

My surgery was postponed..new date is Wednesday Dec.th I still have the cough and chest congestion..hope it goes away so I can..get on the losers bench

December 5th

I had my surgery last Tuesday, and so far I'm doing well. Still on clear liquids, tomorrow I start the protein shakes. Oh how I'm looking forward to the protein shakes. Water and tea is good, but a new flavor will be very welcomed. I still have gas pains, but not as bad at the beginning. I know that to will soon pass. I have no craving for junk food or food for that matter, but I do find it insulting that when I go to department stores etc. food is in our faces at every turn, however, the jokes on them now, because they don't have me doing any impulsive buying anymore. So there! I guess ya gotta have a sense of humor, to get through the pig out season.

I was thinking that in the grocery store on Thursday. So much stuff. Ill save some money this year!!

Just home from the hospital tonight. Surgery was 11/26. Having trouble getting anything in...water, protein, jello, broth. The idea of it makes me sick. I had complications so I don't want to go back to the hospital but I can't get anything in. Any advice?

OH MY GOSH.... I am having a really tough time today my surgery is in 1.5 days and I swear I am loosing it I want to eat so bad from nerves.. And I had a break down on my hubby now all I want to do is sit and hold my little boys and just cry my eyes out

Oh Man my liquid diet was only 2 days and I swear I wanted to kill someone I was so snappy!

Hang in there it is SO worth it!!!!

I went on a full cleaning frenzy for 2 days. The morning of the surgery... I was exhausted from cleaning all day sat and sunday which was almost kinda great cause I slept the majority of the time i was waiting in the preop area lol

You CAN do it!!!! Your hubby should understand or at least just let it roll of his shoulder. Your going thru alot right now.

Lisa: focus on water, in some form, for hydration. It's the most important right now. I really didn't start protein until over a week out. I had complications also and a second surgery. So far so good. Hang in there. It does get better. :-).

OH MY GOSH MY SURGERY IS 16 HOURS AWAY I CAN'T BELIEVE THE TIME HAS COME PLEASE HELP I AM SOOOO STRESSED I HAVE BEEN CRYING ALL DAY I HAVE SERIOUSLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT CANCELING SOMEBODY PLEASE TALK ME OUT OF CANCELING I REALLY REALLY NEED THIS

I felt the same way before . It is ok take some deep breaths take a bath and say good bye to your old body. You will do great it will be over before you know it and you will be on to the new you. You did not go thru all that just to turn back.

I have to say I am extremely lucky my family is very supportive ((at least the ones that matter)) & my hubby is my rock he is 200% supportive he tells me every day how much he loves me the way I am and how lucky he is to have me and he wants me to do the surgery for me not him he says he cant stand to see me get upset about my weight

U r blessed for ur hubby

Don't cancel! You will be fine. The first week is pretty rough but each day gets better. You can do this. Heck If I can anyone can.

Do not cancel! Believe me...I'm sure all of us thought of canceling once or twice. It is scary....but when you wake up from surgery and the days to follow that aren't as bad as you think it will be....you'll say..."yay, so glad its over!" We are all going to be so different (smaller) next year at this time, don't get left behind! You can do this!
