Hello everyone!



Recommended Posts

Brand new bandster here :) Thursday the 23rd was my date. I'm still slowly recovering. Just excited that t gas pains are almost all gone! Still very fatigued and sore though! Feeling a little dehydrated today though so I need to make sure I get on my fluids! I am on fluids for at least a week which is getting kind of boring! Just happy I ate some Tomato Soup yesterday that was to die for!! I have lost 5 lbs but I know that's just Water weight and not really counting it since I'm in healing mode (I'll count it if it stays off). Just wanted to say hii to everyone :) so happy to be on the other side!

That was the worst part for me! The first two days were absolute killer! Today it's the head hunger struggle and opening the fridge to grab Jello and seeing rolls and Bagels and cheese and deli meats! Thank god for Tomato Soup though!

That must be rough for you Betty to have to do the 12 month thing. My pre-op journey was 3 months start to surgery and to me that was so long! It's def worth it though! The liquid diet is just a wrinkle in time compared to the whole journey. Soups keeping me sane :)

open your mind to all liquids you can eat or fix. everytime you get a fill you will be back on that liquid diet. boo! when i go for a fill i get a chicen Soup started. i drink the broth while on liquids and than pulverize for mushie part of fill recovery. drink plenty of fluids. my favorite is crystal lite. i make 2 quarts in the morning. i alternate good old Water with crystal lite. but if i finish the 2 quarts i know i did well. also drink, tea, coffee, sf koolaid apple juice etc. on the liquid part of your diet. fruit juice isn't recommended after wards to many calories. and sugar. well good luck it sounds like you are on the right track

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
