I finally made the thread for those of us who are scheduled for May 15th. It'll be fun to hear how all of us are doing during our journeys. Feel free to share!

There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Dont forget to FOLLOW the thread!

Well my husband and I are back in San Diego. We are planning to go to Sea World this afternoon for a little while since we have free military passes. I will remember to take it slow. I feel blessed that I am doing well enough that I want to go.

Still no BM here. I think I will take something on Sunday when we get home if it hasn't happened before then. I hope everyone has a good day today.

I couldn't even imagine going to SeaWorld right now, so kudos to you! It's not that I'm doing bad, I'm just too much of a chicken to test my limits.

Have fun at Sea World. That's a lot of walking, but I know you'll take it slow. ?

I've been doing some walking, but I get so tired fast. So, I stick to multiple short walks throughout the day. I know I couldn't do seaWorld either. Lol

So, I took the m.o.m. Every time I stand up I have to go. Just wish it were all at once.

Got my abdominal binder in, oh man, feels a world of difference with it on. Now I know I'll just stick to Tylenol.

I have been getting hungry. It's not a substantial amount of hunger, but when I drink some bone broth or protein drink, the spasms go down. It isn't head hunger...cause everything, I mean everything, even things I wouldn't eat, like seaweed and beef stew, sounds good. Lol. So I heated up some chicken and ginger bone broth.

I'm looking forward to week two!!!!

This is what I like in the post op packet instructions I received from my doc in regards to recognizing real and head hunger.

Just sharing....

I think I feel hungry today....I'm not sure how to tell but I've had broth, jello and some liquids and I still "feel" hungry....is it in my head?

I've been hungry today as well.

No. I don't believe so. There are a few people to the exception of not feeling hungry. I posted real and head hunger ques, be sure to read up on it. I've noticed I've been taking in more broth and protein shake too. I feel fine afterwards.

I'm glad about this, because I relate it to our body's metabolism being reset. Before most of us (whether you did or not) ate because it was there or it was time to eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Now, it should be, you eat because you're hungry. Our metabolism is working...that means loss is happening. Yay!

Yes I did read it. I'm only on clear liquids until Wednesday so I think if I could have protein shakes I would be ok it I can't yet. Maybe more broth and sf jello and popsicles to "fill" me up.

That part has got to be hard. All clear liquids. I'm allowed protein shakes when hungry so it's a bit easier I think, to fill me up. Hang in there!!!!

Absolutely!!! I'm doing my best to ignore them.

I actually only had skin glue. I'm doing okay, though.
