Hey yall! Are yall prepping? I know Yadie has kids. I do too. 6 and almost 8.

What part of the world is everyone in? I'm in Colorado. It's a beautiful sunny day today although a little windy.

I'm in New Jersey weather is crazy it's cold but spring is trying to kick in

This drinking 16-32 ounces of Water, 20 ounces of broth, and the rest sf popsicles and Jello is really working! I got 70 ounces in yesterday & 66 ounces in today.

I'm trying to get most of it in as water. I go back to work in a few days and I'll only have water there. Yesterday I did just over 50 ounces. Man this is hard

The water for me is the hardest unless I add lemon why I get annoyed at is when k was just on liquids like broth and jello and Popsicle I was losing faster then again it couple be from all of the iv. Now ever since J started Protein shakes I gained 4 lbs ugh has that happen to anyone ?

How is everyone doing? I finally broke the short stall I was in and dropped 2lbs.

I went back to work today but then my office asked for a work release. When I called the doctor to get it I was told that I wasn't supposed to go back until 3 weeks. So I left and am back home until next monday.

@ if you'd like you can share your story here as well

Hey All,

How is everyone? Just checking in. I've had a good and rough couple of days. I had to go to have a Cat Scan (related to my hysterectomy), and I had to drink a big container of dye so they could see. I got home and I have had horrible diahrria (like water)....sorry if it's TMI. This was Friday, and it's still going on. So, I'm trying to figure out if its's from that, or sugar free stuff (in the past it gave me Gastro problems, gas etc, or is it because I'm just drinking fluids. Anyways, have any of you had this issue?

I'm still on Clear liquids hopefully until Thursday (I have a Post Op exam). I am hungry, and really tired of liquids. I miss food A LOT. I drove by some of my favorite spots, and I had to pray...because I wished I could eat that stuff again. I haven't been advanced to Protein yet (probably will be on Thursday). What Protein shakes do you all like?

The good news is I'm down 15.8 lbs! I am thrilled about that. My bra is loser, and I tried on 3 outfits in my closet and I could fit them! I even was able to wear a couple of 1X or X-Large items. That part is great! My husband is noticing every day, and he started calling me Skinny today. We are both happy that the weight is coming off.

Also, do you all take a PPI. I take Zantac twice a day, and I still get this gnawing feeling at night. Some have suggested I change it if I'm feeling hungry, because it might be acid.

I also feel really week and tired. It's probably just this stage of things. But, I'm looking forward to getting my energy back.

Sounds like you've had it a bit rough bluesky. I'm on day one of puree today and I am LOVING it! Lol. I had puréed meatballs ( lots of the sauce) and I think I could be happy eating that for the next 2 weeks hope things get better soon.

I am on a PPI too. I forget to take it sometimes. I'm not hungry really, but I slowly progressed myself to purees and some soft foods over the weekend.

sugar free stuff made with a sugar alcohol called sorbitol can have laxative effects. Sorbitol is actually what makes prune juice so effective because it has very high levels of sorbitol in it.

I like Isopure, but it's not very sweet. I have to be very careful with the protien shakes because I'm lactose intolerant so I have to make sure it's a protien isolate. Otherwise it'll make me very sick. So I'm probably not the best for advice on those im down 14lbs now. I went about 3 days without losing. But I'm back to dripping weight again.

My other half noticed I was losing weight about a week ago (he's very detail oriented) and it's actually freaking him out. He said the only people he knows who dropped weight so quickly was very sick and died. Even though he logically knows it's not that, he still gets weirded out about it.

Yeah sometimes acid pains can mimic hunger pain. You're probably feeling weak and tired because you haven't had much calories. Thats probably going to change once you get progressed to the next stage at your next doctors appointment.

Sleeved on 2/23/16 with hiatal hernia repair and umbilical hernia temp. repair as well. Already down 20lbs

Yep since surgery and thanks!
