So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

So, officially, I gained 5.6 pounds taking in those liquids. I took in 2 liters a day for 2 days. The first day I didn't pee at all. The second day I peed all day and all last night.

So considering I'm good with liquids (because I can take 64oz now) my weigh in today put me at 28 pounds since surgery... bummer... I was so close to ONEderland... sigh.. what can you do? It's not like I'm at my starting weight, right? Lol

On a bright note, the benadryl helped a lot. My hives are mostly gone. I'm going back to Pepcid today and wait for my lame doctor to respond.

The only problem now is Protein.. I can't stomach it for the life of me. I've tried a variety of brands and all of them make me want to throw up right after.

I had the same problem with protein. About a week after surgery, it all started making me sick. Luckily, I've been able to eat enough the last week or so to average about 65g, so I've nixed the powder!

Yeah, i ate a can of tuna in two parts yesterday.. but my doctor put me off dairy... she thinks that I might be lacrosse intolerant now. But that's where most of the protein is!! Ughh

I'd give you a big ole hug right now if I could!

Aw, thank you.

People say wls is the easy way out.. They couldn't be further from the truth!

Even if that's the truth after all: why shouldn't one choose the easier way?

I discovered that it's quite easy to shut people up blabbering on about the "easy way": tell them that you'd either have to be a masochist or a dumbhead to choose the rocky road instead of the easier way. Usually shuts them up really quick.

Have you tried Syntrax? Even my husband, who usually makes a face when tasting these Protein drinks liked a spoon full of Syntrax chocolate truffle in his latte.

If it's not the taste that's putting you off but the actual fact that you get nausea after drinking them: try drinking less of them or blend it up with some berries and eat it with a spoon. I had a bad experience with Vega One vanilla mixed with some fruit (I think I drank it too fast or it was too sweet). Made me throw up. Interestingly enough the chocolate one was ok.

Oh, got new scales today (not only tests BF but also muscle mass, curious to try). I wonder if I have to correct the numbers now. Hopefully downwards...

Don't fret the 5 lbs...you still have a long span of losing. Do you feel so much better now that your pumped full of Fluid?

Yes! I feel great! I'm not getting tired anymore going up the stairs. I'm eating again and the hives are mostly gone. Also, I think I've begun I feel hunger. Like my stomach is about to growl, but it never does. It's weird.

Threw up this morning, now everything that goes in my stomach makes me feel sick. I pray this is a one day passing thing!!!

I messed up guys... I took two bites of a cheese pizza. 2 small bites. I'd been feeling blue all day because when i start my menstrual cycle, i always easy chocolate cakes and donuts... and.... sigh... I suck so bad.. i planned to just eat the cheese on top... one thing let to another... and boom i took a bite... then another... can someone please tell me "it's okay"? I really need to hear it.

As long as you are not barfing now, then it's fine. I had a couple links of my husband's ice cream last week. It's all good! Just don't over do it. One bite will not completely screw you up. Just don't do it everyday.

I had two bites lol @ I have to cut my toddlers pizza up and I was like oh man I just had to lol didn't regret it and I was over it...don't beat yourself up you're human! glad you're feeling better after your fluids....I'm craving everything under the sun at the moment since aunt flow came to visit ahhhhh

Yes, that is a weird feeling. I get that way too. I feel a lack of energy when it's time to eat. I wonder if it's a blood sugar thing.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.
