Ok, so im really really excited right now. I had my surgery October 9th, that's 4 days ago, the night before my surgery I got on the scale at home and the scale said 327, I just got on the scale a few minutes ago and it said 309. that's 18 flipping pounds. 18 POUNDS!!!!!!!! OMG, I cannot remember the last time I saw 30anything on the scale and to lose 18 pounds in four day.... I want to do jumping jacks i'm sooo happy. just this 18 pounds make me feel like the last four days of pain, and gas and sleeping have been totally worth it! I cant wait to see that bad boy show under 300lbs..... Super super excited! Oh, is anyone else having a problem with the blogs? Every time I try to post it says its unavailable and will be back October 10th. Just wondering!

I am having trouble too. Congrats on the weight loss so far. I'm 19 days out and down 30lbs. The last two days I've been vomiting everything and wanted to ask others if it happened to them and what they did but I can't post. Any help is appreciated. Again congrats. I hear after the first few weeks you really start to feel great and of course look great.

CONGRATS on all your weight loss. You give me hope.... but I'm scared to death! My surgeon consult is a week from Tuesday and my surgery probably the week following... I'm terrified! Has there been a lot of pain for you?

Honestly the first day, a Monday, was nuts. I wasnt in pain just not being able to drink until the next day was weird. The toughest thing was getting through the week on Clear Liquids. I wasnt hungry it was more mind over stomach. Once I got to the weekend all was good. I kept myself busy. Now I'm having trouble but not everyone does. I can't keep anything down and I'm at week three. My doc says everyone progresses differently. There's nothing to be scared of and not much to prepare either. Take it one day at a time and you will do well. I have a friend whose 10 months out has had no problems and is doing wonderful. Don't waste time worrying this is something that in the long run week make thou much more healthy. First nights sleep was the hardest after that each night for better for me. Make sure you ask for the pain meds. Best of luck!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
