Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

Clear liquids tomorrow so I do not have to do a bowel prep for my surgery on Tuesday. Starting to get a little nervous.

I'm still swollen and gassy. But even after all the fluid gain after surgery I weighed in at 299.6 this morning. I was 307 the morning of surgery. So I'm thinking I can cope with the annoyance of recovering from surgery.

I just finished my first whole bottle of water!!! It took all day but I'm ever so excited!!!! I also did 8oz of protein in there. I know lots of u r drinking more than me but I'm excited for my own progress!!! :-). Surgery was Wed morning.

I'm right there with you I drank one bottle of water and some powerade and that was progress. My doctor doesn't wa t me taking in even protein shales until next week, but that may be because I had a previous stomach surgery they had to undo before my bypass and I'm high risk for leaking. I was also a Wednesday surgery and have absolutely no desire to eat right now. It's strange to go from so hungry to this

Wow I'm jealous! I had to do two days of clear liquids and 2 days of bowel prep..... eventually it all looked the same going in as coming out

Mine is also. Don't know how much bc I thought my stomach was huge before so it's still huge to me. LOL. I didn't have a drain. But I'm still burping and passing gas a lot more than I usually do. I'm not sure how long it will take to go down.

Mine is still very swollen and I finally got back to my presurgery weight again today. I was 8 lbs heavier the day after surgery and I have a drain in too. Think my body is just mad at me!

Really? No shakes? That makes me nervous. They discharged me from the hospital Friday telling me to eat Stage 3 stuff! I was SHOCKED!! I haven't dared really go that route yet though. I did eat a piece of chicken from a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. It is already minuscule and u ate it in two bites and chewed it to high heaven!! LOL. So it's like it wasn't even a solid. But I'm still just going to concentrate more in getting in fluids first then whatever protein I can until my 2 week follow-up on the 21st.

Woke up with a puddle of foamy spit up on my pillow. Now I keep coughing something fierce. Ugh.

Oh no! Sending prayers now that it gets better. Has this happened before?

Tried chicken broth again and it still came up. I think I may be having bouts or productive burping!? It happens when I feel like I have air stuck and it comes up looking foamy laced with saliva.

I'd kill for a protein shake with some milk but I don't know if it would soothe or make things worse. Other than the spitting up' date=' I'm up and moving around and fine without pain meds. Just feel a little tight in the belly. Felt so good to take a shower and chill out on my own furniture.[/quote']

Sounds like you are frothing, if so, you should drink got water with a little lemon, it will break up the mucus, it's thick in your stomach.

I meant drink hot water with lemon.

Wow!! We've got quite a list going. Good luck to everyone next week!! Don't hype it up. It really isn't that bad.

Good morning, that's what I want to hear, I have to be at the hospital at 11:30 am, I'm feeling at peace and I'm not that nervous thanks to you all. Thanks for all the prayers, encouragement, and support. I will keep you guys posted.

Ugh! I was not prepared for this liquid diet headache! And I can't take my excedrin. :'(
