If you can get Quest bars there, they're loaded with Fiber AND Protein

It's such an incredible relief when you wake up, knowing that your safe. I worried myself sick for the week leading up, positive I wouldn't make it through

I'm doing well, I've only had one wave of nausea which was momentary, the gas pain is very low now. I feel extremely lucky that I'm doing so well.

How are you going? Have you started the Optifast yet, your date should be coming up soon

Great stuff, Ifrit!

The rate I'm going, I'll be twenty kilos heavier by the time December ninth roles around. I just can't seem to stop the food funeral - pizza, tuna Pasta bake (which I love and hadn't had for years), all sorts of junk .... I do well for a day or two and then bang, it's back to eating whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like. I seriously want it to stop because I don't want to have to take off what I've just put on, but can't seem to help myself.

Sigh.

Roles = rolls

I'm much the same!! I think I've put on 5kg since confirmed date. Hell I have 4 weeks to go.....have to slow it down.

NZ KIWI GIRL!!

Hey everyone! Great to hear the journeys! Welcome to the other side those who have had surgery recently!! Sorry I haven't been on much!

Re: early weeks, Fluid & Constipation - for some reason a water bottle with a bit of sugar free cordial is much easier to drink than straight Water. Always always carry a bottle with you. For Protein that goes down easily, up and go energise is fantastic - easy to sip, fills you up and great shot of protein. Also Metamucil sachets that dissolve in water. Keep going gals!!!

I've just had 3 month post op check up. 15kgs gone, 2 sizes down, much more energy. Can eat anything in small amounts. Started Zumba, easy to choose the stair option now. Feeling great.

Those wound issues? Apparently the sutures they close under the skin were not cut close enough and keep breaking through. 120days til they dissolve - so 30 to go!!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
