Yay for you! I'm so glad all is going well. Are you able to get all your Water in ok?

Yes. Taking slow sips at a time. But doing water mixed in with va splash(strawberry kiwi) and doing hot chocolate Protein mix that is hot too. With it being hot I think it helps get your tummy moving. Haven't passed gas or went number 2 yet but I have a feeling it will be soon. The tummy is the rumbling like it is coming soon lol

I am having surgery tomorrow so scared

Hopefully this isn't to late but I was scared to and honestly what helped me what talking to GOD. I asked every nurse, including my surgeon, anesthesiologist, to say a prayer with me. Im not sure if your religious or not but it helps. I still pray to him every day, several times a day his thanking him.

Your body is still recovering. Sometimes I just think I'm hungry, but it's mostly just my brain not my body. Keep doing what you're doing. I know about day 5 or 6 post op for me I felt like that too. Massive headache etc...but the next day I was fine. Hope you feel better soon.

So I had my 1 wk post op yesterday. Everything is great. I got my staples removed. I also found out I was a rare case. I lost 23lbs in 10 days. That was supposed to be my weight loss goal for the month. Yay me! I'm on pureed foods now. Scrambled eggs have never tasted so good. So excited to hit my next goal. How's everyone else doin?

I had surgery almost 16 hours ago. And while I don't regret it, I am not feeling good right now. The nausea and pain are making me cry! As soon as I stand up I am immediately nauseous. I'm bleeding everywhere! My incisions, my throat, nose and even my vag is bleeding even though my period was only two weeks ago. I hope to get better soon and hopefully be able to sleep. Im so sad that I'm extremely hungry. It's uncommon but normal. I had hoped this surgery would make the hunger pangs go away. I don't know if I'll be successful but I can't wait to be a healthy, sexy woman, and that's what keeps me going now!

12 hour post op and all is well. Right now my biggest pain is sore throat due to tube in throat durning surgery. Walking the halls ice chips have kept me going. Start liquid diet in 5 hours. Thanks for the well wishes. Woke up in the or after surgery to the surgical team singing me happy birthday. They had decorated my chart and gown with birthday stickers. It was nice.

You need to find one you like and fast, cause you gonna be having them for awhile after surgery too.

There is a company called Nashua Nutrition, you can order samples though their website and they have tons of flavors. I ordered a whole bunch yesterday because I don't want to commit to a whole tub. Along with the regular flavors you usually find they have coffee flavors, fruity flavors, lemonade, fruit punch, iced tea. All kinds of stuff. Also if you use the coupon code BT10 at checkout you will get 10% of your order.

I hope you start feeling better. I think it's do hard in the beginning with so many emotions you just feel overwhelmed. Give yourself some time to adjust. The bleeding is frustrating. My period I aren't seen for 6 months decided to show up. Can't wait for it to go away. I m sure you will start feeling better in a few days. I am 8 days post op and had some major surgery issues, but now feel so much better. Hang in there and remember you made the right decision. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
