I think I had my first dumping syndrome. I drank some apple cider and within 30 minutes I had horrible stomach cramps, diarrhea and weakness/dizzyness. It was pretty sucky and I'll be working to avoid doing that again anytime soon

Only one more week to go! The pre-op diet will be tough at times I think. So far I'm thinking of everything I didn't eat and will want for the next few weeks

Doing pretty well today! I slept in my bed last night after sleeping on the sofa/chaise since Thursday (it hurt too much to lay flat or on my side) so it was nice to curl up next to the Hubs. (And by "curl up," I mean "slightly bend." I'm not that flexible yet.) Plus my dogs weren't so confused about where Mom was - ha. I woke up this morning with very little pain - the largest incision is still a bit sore but overall I'm feeling a lot better.

I still have 2 more days left on my "Week 1 - Clear Liquids" phase but I have introduced some diluted tomato Soup and that's gone well. I've also had teeny bits of goat cheese (in the soup) and haven't had any issues. Other than that I've just been drinking my Protein shakes (I use Premier Protein and like them), chicken broth, diluted apple juice (only if I start feeling shaky), and SF popsicles. But I CANNOT do Jell-o. I tried all kinds of flavors and I just can't. Texture maybe? Regardless, not for me. Ha.

The biggest news is that I am down 9.8 pounds in one week! That is crazy. Yay!

My one week follow up is this Thursday so we shall see how that goes! (SD was 1.11)

Congrats lindz. I haven't got on the scale yet - was thinking I'll wait until 1 week mark. SD 1/12. Liking Premier Protein, I did during pre-op too.

January 18th!! So nervous and excited!

Pre-op folks hang in there. An anxious time, but you're in the home stretch!!

The last two days have been challenging to say the least. I've thrown up multiple times on at least three separate occasions. Taking solid vitamins appears to be getting harder and food/liquids seem to be taking longer to move on than expected. I wait half an hour after having fluids and find that food won't stay down. Meanwhile weightloss appears to have slowed. I'm feeling more tired and rundown despite doing slightly less. I'm hoping this is a phase and it too shall pass without too much difficulty.

Hang in there. My dr mentioned some feel lots of fatigue a few weeks post op. Do you have a nausea med? Maybe call your dr.

The problem is it's not really nausea. It's more like a dumping thing I think. I eat something, it feels like it's sitting ABOVE my stomach and not going in, and then I need to be sick very quickly. I start back at work today too so I'm concerned about it all.
