I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

Good luck Lisa Marie! Onward to your new life!

Thank youuu

@@irishaggie No puree foods just straight to the soft foods at 2 weeks for up to 3 months. Not much longer, 2 weeks will be here Thurs.

I go from puree to soft on Thursday… Yay for us!

I had surgery last Thursday and I already asked abt foods for my bday Dec 3. I was told I'd be eating mashed potatoes and soft meats and veg.I'm on stage 2 until I see the dr Oct 29. This morning the scale was up 5pds compared to surgery day. Wth.

That totally happens, to all of us @kvoneye… i was 248 on SD and 252 on the day of my one week followup appt. It dropped fast though and will for you, too! I am two weeks post SD on Thursday and my weight is down to 239 It i normal, i promise

Fyi guys....for some reason Fiji water seems to go down easier (almost seems thinner) then all others I have tried so far.

interesting… i drink smart water (Costco bulk!), but will give Fiji a shot

I'm 12 days post op and had my first weigh in since surgery on Saturday 10/17 (10 days post op) and I'm down 14lbs. I wasn't happy at first but I realize that I need to learn to appreciate any weight loss and need to quit letting the scale intimidate me or make me feel bad.

I am more than a number and that number does not define me!

Good morning........I had surgery 10.19 at 730-am and so far so good. I actually had a hernia repair as well. Pain is manageable and only really feel pain when getting up. I've been using the bathroom like crazy. I've walked 4 times that evening after surgery but had a hard time stay up...... Gas pains I don't know what that is lol makes me want to ask if they used it cuz I haven't had any lol. I do have a hacking thing going on cuz it feels like something is in my throat.

So I'll update as I feel more comfortable and up to it. Congratulations to the rest of you guys going in the rest of this week

@@irishaggie it sounds like we are losing at the same rate...I was 244 SD, 248 at one week post op and 235 this morning.

Good luck! Let us know how you are when you can!

@@lisamarie0817 Goodluck omw to the hospital also Yay us... You will be in my prayers as I go in... We finally made it. ????????????

Hello October family! I had surgery yesterday and it's been manageable. I threw up blood when I first woke but I haven't been sick since. I've walked the halls 3x but get tired and nauseated quickly. It's really not so bad. I'm sipping watered-down apple juice every 15 minutes and taking deep breaths on the hour. Thankfully my request for a private room went through so I feel comfortable alone in my room. Some of the smells in the hallway make me feel gross when I walk, but I suppose that's to be expected. Lol

Anyway, so far so good. ????

@@sweettooth2015 Glad you are doing well!! If you don't have any gas pains it should be pretty smooth sailing!!!

@@anewme2015 Glad your doing well as well!!! Did your doctor give you a patch for nausea for behind your ear before surgery? Mine did, just wondering if other's did. I only had nausea this whole time with my first sips of water & protein drink.

Edited October 20, 201510 yr by 60&goin4it

No gas pain and no nausea walking the hallways that makes me feel a little bit tired but otherwise I'm doing great I think

Today I feel blah. Almost 1 week since surgery. My weight today is down to surgery weight. I'm having a hard time with protein and I'm tired of sipping. Help.

Finally on my way to the hospital.Surgery at 2:30. Any and all prayers good wishes or support always welcome for all of us going in today! Best group EVER
