Here's what I "ate" today...

AM... Sips of Water.

8:00 - Walked 1 mile outside

9:00 - Took a shower and took my medicine (diovan - larger pill)

10:00 - Popsicle - sips of water... feeling pretty good

10:30 - 2 Tums

Okay, here's where the wheels fall off.

PB - Tums came back up in about 5 minutes... pretty bad pain in my stomach for the next couple hours. Didn't drink anything. Feeling is like stomach cramps.

1:00 - Took some liquid hydrocodone and 3 sips of kool aid.

PB - Kool aid definately came back up - probably some of the medicine.

Called nurse - he said to take sips of cold Water to see if it's any better in a bit.

What should my level of concern be at this point?

Yeah, the sips of Water seem to be doing just fine. I also laid down at the same time... that seems to have something to do with it, too.

Also running a low-grade fever (99) - That's probably just the post-op, eh?

Chris--Just take it slow and easy. Keep an eye on your temp and just suck on ice chips or take small sips of Water. The first couple of days I didn't want anything at all, but I had to stay in the hospital and I had an IV running so dehydration wasn't an issue. You need some clear fluids at home, but just don't over do it. Walk, rest, and sip--that's all you have to do this weekend.

Don't lay down when you drink or eat. I have found first hand it doesn't want to settle. Totally steer clear of pills for the first 30 days. Crush the ones you need to take.

Yep, I'm figuring that out first hand... the laying down with absolutely anything in your tummy will only get it to gurgle back up. Not really in a vomit thing, but just as a gurgle type deal.

I've tried a little hot cocoa this afternoon and that seems to be okay, but I can't really do anything except stay standing while I'm drinking it.

That's okay because the laundry was starting to pile up...

This gurgle thing can go away any time now, however... it's starting to get a little annoying...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
