I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

Well, I know it wasnt the hibiclens. They gave us a bottle pre-op and we had to wash our entire body with it the night before and the morning of surgery. The only place I broke out in hives was in the exact shape and area where I had the orange prep after surgery. It was in the exact line of where they prepped me, even my surgeon noticed it immediately when I came in after the hives popped up.

I just finished week 3, down 14# since surgery. I'm not necessarily hungry but sometimes I just want to EAT, if that makes sense. I am eating 4 meals a day spaced 4 hours apart: shakes and softs.

I am a little over 3 weeks out, and down 13 lbs since surgery. Last night I just couldn't get a grilled cheese out of my head. Still on puree foods per Nutritionist, but I stick to shakes and cream of tomato soup. I graduate to soft foods on 4/6.

Had procedure done on 3:22 on purée foods but get stuck in esophagus am I eating to fast or what’s going on and also did laxative 3 days ago and nothing need help because I am very uncomfortable

You might be eating too big of pieces or too much in one sitting. Try eating slower and smaller. Keep taking the laxative. My doctor recommended I take the Miralax every day until I was able to go regularly without it. I now just take colace whenever I need it.

You’re doing better than me [emoji17][emoji17]

WLS 3/30 post op day 6. Had trouble with my lithium meds when I introduced them day 2. Caused all day diarrhea for 2 days. My psychiatrist recommended reintroducing after a couple weeks. New stomach also can not tolerate the protein shake I had been using pre-op. Ugh. Switched to Genepro medical grade protein dded to chicken broth and doing fine. Watered down poweraid zero to make it less sweet and that is nice option to water. I tried 2oz of plain Greek yogurt on day 4&5 but the hives I have had since day of surgery have gotten progressively worse and I need to cut that out as well. 3 more days to purée! Never been so excited

3/14 surgery- not sure how much I’ve lost. My next pre-op appointment is on the 16th. I’m trying to only weigh every few weeks. I don’t want to have to think about stalls. I’m getting between 500-800 calories a day, protein, vitamins and most of my water. If I’m not losing weight then it just isn’t in the cards for me. At this point I’ve going through extreme measures to be healthy and I don’t want to obsess about my weight anymore. I know I am and will continue to lose, period.
