A New Day

[jnflud 10]

Very well said, we have definitely been living half in, and are well on our way to being all in! I will keep you posted for sure, the gas x strips did help a lot this morning not so much this evening. I had a hiatal hernia repair at the same time so a lot of discomfort in my chest. But I'm looking forward tomorrow being better than today! And thanks for the kind words ????

Hi! I'm reading a lot of posts and like some of you I'm SO nervous! I also have anxiety issues. I need some help in that area. My surgery date is January 28th!

At my 2 week f/u when I saw I had lost 26lbs. Everything had been easy up to that point. I had no issues with recovery . I was prepared for a slow but steady weight loss so seeing that number at 2 weeks was encouraging.

Today was day one of the all liquid diet. I feel sick and have been running to the rest room to empty out the fluids. I also feel very cold can't seem to warm myself up. Starting to think if this is worth it. Trying so hard not to eat solid food.

Hi, I'm 9 days post-op and doing great. I lost 19lbs on the pre-op diet and I am 26 lbs down total now! So excited for this new year and all the "new" to come.

[jnflud 10]

Avhick maybe you have a stomach bug or something, that doesn't sound normal. I've been on all liquids for 3 weeks now and never felt all that. Are you diabetic? What does your liquid diet consist of?

Just keep in mind the all liquid phase is very short. I have noticed that some people get the chills during that phase. I wonder if it is the body trying to adjust to all the changes. If you can hang in there hopefully things will get better.

Thanks for the posts. I'm hoping the chills are just my body going through an adjustment. So far today I'm ok. liquid diet consist of Water with the flavoring clear chicken broth sugar free Popsicles and sugar free Jello. Today is day two and I hope to be able to maintain it surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 10:15
