Hi all! Tomorrow is the big day! My husband and i are having the surgery the same day! Im so ready and excited!! We will be having our surgery with Dr. Castro at methodist central hospital in dallas texas. The first thing im going to ask when i wake up is how my liver looked! Lol it better look good from this aweful pre op diet. :-) crossing my finger!

HI everyone! I thought i would share my daily menu @ 8 weeks out. Please let me know what you think about what im eating so i know if im eating ok. Breakfast: 1 scrambled egg and one turkey sausage ( i leave a bite or 2 of the sausage) or one lowfat lasagna cupcake from emilybites.com or a pure Protein bar 30 grams of protein. Snack: half an apple or a handful of trail mix or 1/4 cup or a little more of cottage cheese Lunch: 1 lasagna cupcake or 1/2 cup chicken tortilla Soup made with fresh veggies and roasted chicken sprinkled with lowfat cheese and 4 small round tortilla chips crushed. Sometimes a little avacado aswell. Or half a sandwich Snack: same as mid morning snack. Dinner: same as lunch choices or 1 party bean burrito from taco bueno or a small chicken nugget at chick fila or a taco.

Yes, i eat the tortilla. And protein shakes make me so sick :-( the only ones i can tollerate are slim fast carb control protein shakes.

Are all husbands capable if being huge jerks at times? Sorry... Venting!!!!

I work and cook and clean and push mow our 1acre yard. He hardly has to do anything around here and demands S*** after i just mowed for an hour and a half!!!!! Do the dishes, get the bed ready and cut my hair NOW!!!

Lol he was a jerk before surgery, hasnt changed after surgery. My dad never treated my mom the way my husband acts as time. I just want to punch him HARD!

Of* sorry about my spelling! Im just pissed off :-(

My husband and i had the surgery. I jokingly called my husband the healthiest fat person alive !lol but he knew eventually the issues would come pouring in ! He weighed what you weigh and is 5'6" tall. He has now lost 60 pounds since surgery and never regrets!!! its smart to have this surgery before more bodily damage is done by weight. I on the other hand had every health issue known to man! He saw me and never wanted to be in my situation.

Hi everyone! Im wondering if im a slow loser. I had my surgery march 6th and weighed in at 311 pounds. As of april 16th i weigh 264. My husband has lost over 60 pounds and we had surgery the same day! I know guys are suppose to lose faster but im feeling like i cant even keep up with him! :-( its made me think maybe im not doing something right. I eat the same stuff he eats and walk 11/2 miles a day and he doesnt walk at all! I dont know what i can do to lose weight faster to catch up. :-(

Lol twonderland!!!

I know how you feel!!! The shakes made me gag and turn my stomach! Hang in there! Ur in the 2nd hardest phase! But soon you will be able to get your protein with foods. I went and got some new whey 40 grams of protein shots that are 3 oz at vitamin store and ate that with some greek yogart. But spread the shot out during the day if you go that rout. It made me feel crappy if i drank it in one sitting. Yuck! Just the thought of a protein shake makes me gag!!! You are almost outta the shakes phase, then on to better things! Lol

Hang in there kitty! I wanted to throw in the towel too. The pre op was one of the hardest things ive done. But its so much better after surgery! Im 7 weeks post op and im so glad i did this. You can do it!! You are strong, and tuff and you will win! Win thin! I promise, u will get through it fast and before you know it, u will be 7 weeks post op and back on regular foods!

Hi everyone! Tell me your eating out foods you love after your surgery! And what are some healthy choices that are out there? Some of my faves are: Taco bell pintos n cheese with the meat out of a taco. ( i throw away shell ) Taco bueno chicken tortilla Soup Tried taco buenos Beans, they tasted wonderful but i think it made me dump so i cant eat those again. Wendys chili Chilis bar and grill chicken fajitas without tortillas. I can eat 3 slices of fajita chicken meat. We get 2 days worth of left overs lol between my husband and i. Craving chinese food but dont know what i can get to eat :-( But tell me your eating out faves!

I had this really really bad!!! The doctor gave me a steroid cream and it took it away fast.

Im 5 weeks out aswell, battling the same problem. I HATE it!

Dont be scared! I had to stay longer then i was suppose to in the hospital. I couldnt drink either. But what helped me was the nurse gave me crystal light to drink and i would put a little ice to make it cool. Warm water or any temp water made me sick! But crystal light went down nicely. G2 helped too. I was very scared at first but i promise you, every day gets better! It really does!

Awesome tips yall! Its rare when i eat out, its nice to have choices! I wasnt sure what to get or my options :-)

Lol i had surgery with my husband on march 6th and man!!!!! He is dropping weight like crazy!!!!! And im slowly, little by little loosing. :-( he gets on the scale and everyday down like 5 pounds!!! I get on the scale and might have lost .4 or stay the same a few days. Its aggrivating!!!!!! Why cant we loose like that? He doesnt walk or work out and i walk my butt of 11/2 -3 miles a day! So im venting.... Guys suck!! :-)

Lol i am proud of him but it frustrates me! Im so impatient! I want to be loosing as fast as he is so i can reach my goal! He is only 60 pounds from his goal and im 120 pounds from it :-( and have lost 43 pounds. :-( i hope he doesnt mind being thin while im still fat :-( because i have a feeling its gonna take me a long time! In all trueness, my title should read... Guys rock! Cause they can loose weight as fast as they do! Lol but i just envy him!

I had the same situation! Had surgery march 6th and at the 3 week out mark i had gained 8 pounds!!!!! I cried, cussed, yelled i was so mad!! But it was all water weight and bowel! After week and a half later im way back down and am loosing again. It was the most frustrating thing ever!!!

Hi Yall! Im having a TMI moment but need talk to yall about it. Off and on since my surgery 5 weeks ago, my bowels go CRAZY and cause me horrible discomfort in my lower abdomen and pelvic region. Bloating, fullness, aching and pain! My bowel movements cause it to hurt worse and then after a while it goes away. It does this At random and im sick of it :-(. Any tips? Sometimes its one sided and sometimes its both sides.

Oh no! I may have to do that too. The liquid codine burns my pouch :-(

I took liquid hydrocodone that i had from the hospital and the pain is better! But i feel loopy!

I found out im passing a kidney stone :-( thanks yall for helping me <3 im so glad i can turn to yall and talk about this stuff! Im sorry for it being a gross subject. Lol

I took some gas x and it got alot better but now its coming back again. :-(
