Wow! That's fantastic. keep up the good work!

Why do you still have a drain? Mine had to come before I left the hospital on day two. They really do things different in Mexico. That's very insensitive of your Doctor; no bedside manners at all. Prayers and hugs going out to you now!

Life is too short to Worry about what others think! Go, have fun, enjoy your time with your daughter!!

Sorry your not feeling well! You have to take a few weeks, and be SELFISH. You have to meet your needs FIRST, then once your feeling well, you can take care everyone, and other things. Are you taking anything for acid/gas? That should help with the nausea. When do you get to eat soft foods? If you can't drink Protein, then you need to start eating it as soon as your Doctor will allow. Find something that taste really good to you, and eat a little every couple of hours. Your Vitamins may be making you sick, try a different kind. Last, but most important, if your a person of faith, PRAY. It always works for me! p.s Talk to you Doctor, let him know what's going on. Sounds like you may be a little depressed.

I had a drain and no nausea. Also had an IV for 47 hrs, and they kept it pumped with meds. I keep reading about those who hurt so bad, and are so sick. I feel terrible for them! I believe in the power of prayer, worked for me.

Just curious, did you have a drain? I'm wondering if there is a connection to nausea and not having a drain to get blood out of your stomach.

Sorry you feel sick. I can't believe they didnt give you something while in the hospital. They kept my IV loaded with anti-nausea meds, so i didn't feel sick at all.

Keep up the good work! Rock those size 14 jeans!!!

Wow! You've lost 15lbs before your pre-op diet. That's terrific! Yes, I say go for it. Get an extra large slurpee, and then put those things to rest, forever!

Hi and welcome to the forum! I'm 12 days post op and feeling great! Down 17lbs so far, and pretty happy about that. Physically, it's been easier than I expected. Mentally, I wasn't prepared for the challenge. I miss eating, and chewing. I've been dreaming of it. I think as soon as I get to the mush stage, I'll be much better. Having support is the key. surround yourself with like minded people. This forum has been a big help also!

YUM!

My family and I were there for 5 days. We bought bottled water, but forgot to carry it with us a few times. I drank the water from the restaurant, and used the hotel/hospital water to brush my teeth. No issues, Everything was fine. Cancun caters to tourists, so maybe they're extra careful!

Have you measured lately? You may have lost inches with the intense work-out..The scale is important, but dont forget your getting healthy and shaping up as well!

Sounds like alot of people have trouble with the protein shakes. Keep trying different brands and flavors until you find one you can tolerate. I use EAS vanilla soy protein mix, 8oz lowfat milk and 1 tblespn Hill Bros Cappuccino-french vanilla, and 1 tblespn lowfat natural peanut butter. This makes two or three meals for me, and I love the flavor.

I'm 8 days post-op. Does that mean all the little gurgles and what feels like hunger pains is acid or gas or both? Im taking Omeprazole once a day, Maybe I should increase it? Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread, bu t I had the same question about the hunger part.

Hi Citygurl, Kudos, for deciding to up your exercise! I am 8 days post op and haven't started exercising as of yet. My plan is to start walking on Monday, twenty-thirty minutes and see how I feel. This site is a treasure of info, and everyone is very supportive! Welcome newie...

I didn't go alone to Mexico, I took my family and we made a mini vacation out of it. Cancun is very safe. Not sure about other cities. Every city has places that women should not hang out by themselves. Just use your comon sense and you'll be alright!

WOW! Your doing something right. I need to shadow you.....

Genius!

That's fantastic! There are angels among us, and you met yours!

Welcome! Congrats on losing your pre-op weight. Keep up the good work.

Call from someone elses phone....LOL

Wow! Great job...

Too Cute!

Awesome!
