I only had a quesy feeling once in the hospital and last night, but it only last a little while. Thank god it's not been bad. I prayed so hard that I wouldn't get sick and god answered my prayer.

My dr gave me 6 wks off. My job requires a lot of lifting so I might take the whole 6 weeks. Any way I would love the time off to rest and relax.

Starting weight 7 mths ago 231 Day of surgery 199 8 days post op 192 woohoo Goal is 130 almost there ha ha

Im hoping that in a few days ibwill be able to handle seeing other people eat. Right know it's still new. I was very proud of my self yesterday for being around a lot of food, and I actually sat next to the dessert table and I didn't bother me. I don't think there was much for me to chose from were they went tonight anyway this is East Texas if it ain't fried are covered in cream gravy they don't have it. Ha ha. I'm tring some applesauce to see if fills me up. I only ate about 3to 4 spoons of my roast juice. At least my husband has lots of food this week to eat.

Thanks I realized how much fat was in it when it was done, I will strain it first. Tomorrow I'm calling my Dr to make sure I don't mess up anything, it's hard for me to believe that I have even had the surgery, I have no pains able to move around great only when I try to drink too big of a sip do I remember that I had surgery.

I'm having a hard time with the protien powders, I tried mixing it in my decaf coffee for some reason it was ok yesterday, but not today why? It's very aggravating, nothing taste the same the second time I eat it. I have to keep trying to find that magic spot.

Am 4 days post op and I was starving to death not really, but I was wanting something heavier then broth, so I got some "egg drop soup" man that was the best tasting thing ever. And my husband made a pot of pinto beans. The juice off them is very good also. The egg soup has 15 grams of protien so that a big plus. Now I'm happy.

I'm glad your doing ok. I gained two lbs being in hospital, but I lost 3 this morning, I am not getting in all my protien. Nothing taste good, the nectar makes me gag. I have a question? Is it ok to have the juice from pinto beans. They smell so good and I'm starving

Emily glad your getting to home. I feel 100times better since I got home on Wednesday. I may be crazy but I'm going to try to drink some watered down coffee.

Wow I'm 3days post op. I feel great, sore and sleepy. But that's livable. They sent me home this morning. They only gave pain meds 3 times gas pains aren't to bad. But I'm having trouble getting liquids down. My stomach not allowing much. But I keep trying. I with I could have something more solid, but Jello is it for now. I've only had 1 1/2 oz of Protein so far. It almost making me gag. But before my doctor instructed me to not take my diabetes meds anymore. Woo hoo. That makes this all worth it.

Ok all is good here, no real pain no prblem with swallowing, great overall. The hospital staff are great. I'm so glad that hardest part is over. Now I can be thinner and healthier. Took luck to all.

I had to reinstall the program.

The one thing that keeps me going is knowing I will be healthier, slimmer and happier. But getting to that place is not easy. Tomorrow morning is my surgery, and I'm so hungry but I made it through 9 days of liquids and and I can make it through 2 weeks of clear, I hope. I know I'm a little grumpy and tired but I have to do this, to prove to myself that I can be a stronger person without eating everything in sight. I know I will eat again just smaller amounts and better choices. I just need to get through the next two weeks. Say a prayer for me cause I need them. I want to thank everyone that has responded to my post. All the good thoughts and support are greatly appreciated.

Thanks Carly, glad to here your ok, now I'm ready to go, my stomach is growling on only clear liquids. But I can see the end of this. I am stronger than the growls of my belly.

Ok so tomorrow at 1pm central time i begin my new way of life. I am mental ready. Doesn't mean I'm not a little scared but I feel like this is going to be a good change for me. I love to eat but I love to eat the wrong foods and too much of them. So this will keep me on the right track. I used to be able to find my way around any diet, or weight loss pill. Can't do it with this. I feel good in this decision. I now know I have the will power to achieve this goal. I just wish I would have done it sooner.

Ok I'm 48 mother of one 27 yr old, step mother to 3,( 30, 33, 35) I have 4 grnd children 10, 8, 4 and 2, these are my reasons for this. I want to see them all grow up. I want to be the best grandma I can be. I wish I would have started this journey sooner, so I would through the tough part already. I haven't seen my son for a year, so the next time he sees me I will be thinner. He has never seen me thin. He is in the military, I hope to see him before end of the year.

My husband is so unbelievable wonderful, last night he asked how much plastic surgery would be, I had mentioned about my "kangaroo pouch" and I hope that I don't have to much hanging. He is so supportive. He is 12 yrs older than me and will be retiring in a few yrs. So he is trying to see how much we will have to save for it. But since I won't be eating a lot there's a big savings. Ha ha but I will need new clothes, I already need to go down a size since doing the pre op diet. I ve lost 8 lbs woohoo for me.

Woohoo in 6 days I will be headed to a thinner me. Yippee.

I can't wait for you to let us know how it goes. Best of luck and a speedy recovery

I have found that I can't tolerate all protiens, and what's weird is I can tolerate some flavors better than others. Today for lunch I had a bowl of broccoli and cheese soup pureed. And an green apple protien shot. This is day 5 only 5 more to go. But I have lost 5 lbs already. I even went to mall and walked past all the food at the food court and kept walking. I slipped into a store and looked at clothing in smaller sizes, that I will be wearing soon.
