Lol. You are all so quiet!

I feel the same. It has been difficult on me this summer. I have completely stopped going to my parents lake house because all my family and friends do up there is party. HOWEVER the look on their faces when they see me next summer will will make it well worth it. Lol. The alcohol I will hopefully learn to drink in moderation cause in the past that never worked for me. Being 21 is prolly much harder then me being 23 and semi over partying as much as I use to. But I still feel for ya. Anyone who loves their alcohol feels for ya. In the end they don't want you drinking a lot because of liquid calories. In the beginning I think it's ulcers right after surgery. We will all eventually learn to adjust. Good luck!! :-)

I'm sorry girl. Just TRY not to let him bring ya down. :-)

My pains are less and less. I guess I just needed to be patient lol. I just had a mini break down thinking omg im going to be miserable forever. I'm so pumped about recovering now I don't care what I am even missing out on food wise. I wanna get back in the gym and get this weight off. :-) :-) By the way I found this kind of funny so I thought I would share. Im not physically thinking about food at all or missing it etc. but apparently subconsciously I am worried about screwing this up because the past 3 nights I had a dream that I ate something I wasn't suppose to and totally ruined my weight loss. I feel like such a dork dreaming about food but I guess when you have gone this long with out any "real" food silly things are bound to happen. At least this liquid diet is way easier after surgery.

Does that hurt you?

That's awesome.

Ok thank you all. I just gotta hang in there. The only reason I was concerned is because I have a high tolerance to pain and this just stinks. I'll give it another few days. I'll most likely have a totally different attitude.

No I don't have a drain .. What's that for?

Thank you so much

4 days ?!?!? Really? That would be fabulous but I just had surgery Wednesday and can barely even move around with out pain. I can't imagine having sex already.

Good luck girl.

Amen!!

It's a pain trying to get all my liquids in gosh.

I had a one week strictly clear liquid diet.

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Your very Strong!

830 this morning. Slept a lot had a lot of visitors so kept my mind off the tenderness. Going to the restroom hurts and getting up and down out of bed hurts. My throat is sore from the tube. Other then that I'm fabulous. Glad my day came. Couldn't be better. No regrets :-)

Wow. That's horrible. I hope u get better. Sounds like you didn't have a good medical crew workin on ya.

Ok. I don't doubt it. Somehow I manage to have hiccups almost every single day of my life so I prolly do swallow to much air.

Add spices to broth makes it more tolerable.

I slept a lot and just stayed hydrated. The first 4 days was soooooo hard and when I thought I couldn't do it any longer I reminded myself constantly I am doin this for a reason.

I'm so happy there are ladies out there my age going through the same things. I feel like up until now I had no hope for a fun filled healthy quality of life. I mean seriously being a young over weight girl is tough!! Not to mention the way society treats us. Ughhh I'm just ready for this more then ever. Any thoughts or tips for post ops out there?! What to expect some tips on what to do or not to do ??? Thank you and good luck to all.

Awe that's great. I can't wait to have the energy to be active again I love workin out just don't have the energy.

Ok great because it sounds like a war in my belly. What is the pressure in my chest from? Sometimes when I take a drink it hurts for a few seconds then gurgles out.

Honestly it all depends on the person my aunt was a good 300 barely any loose skin and another young girl was about 250 and she had a lot of it. All depends on your genetics I think. If you have good healthy skin I think you will be fine. I tanned a lot so idk if I stand a chance. But your skin is just another organ and in time it can shrink to fit your body. Don't get discourage right away it takes about 2 years to see how it's going to really look.

Ok great thank you. I will definitely walk a lot.
