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.

@@CHLOE12 good luck

@@kvoneye Hang in there! Each day is a new day. I am having my first nauseated day. Earl Grey tea is helping a little but I don't see me leaving my recliner today.

@@edie091371 I hope so. At times I've thought about this being a big mistake I can't take back. I put a roast with all the fixings because my son will be over for lunch, and I'm crying on the inside because I know I won't be enjoying that. I try to tell myself, down the road I will be able to try it again to see if it agrees or not. Guess today is not such a good day. Sorry for being a debby downer. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

@@kvoneye You are not a Debby downer! You are human and having very human feelings!! We are not super heroes that are immune to negativity. Each day we will get stronger. I honestly believe this few weeks after surgery is the hardest. I am to the point that I feel nauseated just at the thought of another "sweet" protein shake!!! Sweet grosses me out so bad right now! Do you like hot tea? I will tell you that I kept reading that hot tea is like magic. I love hot tea but I feel so full from just my water and protein drinks that the idea of another liquid was not appealing. But a couple of hours ago I made a cup of Earl Gray in hopes of settling my stomach. Not only did it do that but it also has given me so much comfort and a feeling of okay-ness again. In two hours I have had two cups... hey, that's 16 oz,of my water intake today!!!

I was given a shot for the nausea, not a patch. The staff at Toronto Western have been great. I'm a bit lonely because I'm not telling friends and family- other than my spouse- and he's at home taking care of the kids. I am looking forward to going home but I'm also a little worried about how to keep my 3 and 4 year old away from my very sore belly. Lol

I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well. Ok back to walking the halls!

Well I'm down to 175 lbs and gone from size 16 to size 12 jeans 5'0 short lol Sw 198

Quick question

I've seen a few people post about unjury protein powder and I was wondering if they are available in store or only online?

I ordered some online this morning.

When do you pull off the clear bandages?

Anybody else having pain around the jp drain?? Everything else is fine but that... smh

@@Jenaenae84 Wow you are doing really well!!!! I haven't weighed yet (didn't want to get bummed out with the weight gain from surgery), going to the Dr. tomorrow for the 2 week check up & will get weighed then. I feel like I have lost a few lbs. but I'm sure its not as much as I would like! Will see! I'm a slow looser no matter what, I guess thats part of the reason I had this surgery!

@@anewme2015 I'm sure you do feel lonely not feeling like you could tell everyone! I told everyone but I can tell you there is some people I wish I hadn't just because of there attitude, other's have been very supportive & usually have a story of someone they know who were very successful! That is why this forum is so great, we are here for you, going through this same journey. Some days are better than others! Hopefully the kids will understand Mommy has a belly ache! Best of luck to you when you get home!

I've got glue on mine and was told to leave them alone. Got more pain on right side,I'm guessing that is the side they put the stapler in.

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.

The sipping is hard!!! It seems like it takes up your whole day just waiting for the next sip! I can tell you I'm 12 days out still sipping & am looking forward to my Dr. appointment tomorrow to see if I can have some refried beans or just something besides my shakes!!! I should be on soft food!! I don't have a puree phase like some do after 1 week. I don't know what the difference is. I had the gastric bypass. Do you go into a puree phase? You could call the Dr. & see if he would allow something pureed to help make it to the next phase. Have you tried a little of sugar free jello? Or chicken broth? I have the Unjury chicken broth & its helped me make it this long having something savory to sip. Hoping for the best for you!!

I eat cream soups, sugar free jello, pudding,malt o meal, shakes, etc.

Had surgery today and im doing greay a lil gas pain n nausea but besides that im ok
