I should NEVER have let him take care of me! I let him mix my freaking protien shakes and make sure that I get all the stuff I need cause I am really bad at getting myself to the right levels well I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BECAUSE THE STUPID **** GAVE ME 12G TOO MUCH protien and thats why I haven't been losing weight. I am crying right now because I thought I was going to stay fat forever. I have been so depressed and its all his fault. I am so glad he is at work right now because I am so freaking mad I would say and do things I would regret later. I love him so much but you have no idea what has been going through my head. all because he is to freaking stupid to add correctly! what are we in kindergarden here! I went through it fifteen times with him. OMG I'm bawling right now.

Hey everyone, just found this forum. I am 31 years old and live in buffalo ny. Pre surgery I have lost 28lbs but have since stalled out for two weeks which does happen I know. I have my sleeve surgery on monday at 2pm. I am terrified! I am excited about having this done and to start the next chapter in my life but I cannot get over the overwhelming terror that I am not going to wake up on moday. I have had surgery before; my gallbladder, a hysterectomy and before that a tubal ligation and I was only moderatly nervous for those. Is anyone else feeling this way?

I woke up this morning and saw what looked to be like oil on top of the drainage material. Almost like fat on top of soup SORRY I KNOW GROSS. I'm gonna call when they open but i feel fine no temp or anything. anyone have this?

big girl panties? I freaking came on here to vent about it so I didn't freak out on him and I get nasty?

I have not called him or told him anything at all because I needed to calm down and I can have quite the sharp tongue as well. He is after all human and crap happens. I am so much more calm now than I was when I posted LOL I was freaking the heck out! Venting! I don't really think he is stupid at all and he is the love of my life. I am so happy he wasn't home when I looked LOL I will adjust it and see where I am and if it makes a difference. The one day I didn't get that extra in and I lost two pounds so I dunno... Thanks for the support, I can't believe how great I did pre op with the weight loss, at this point I was losing weight better before the surgery so I am very upset. Yes I am getting plenty of fluids in and I am moving my bowels so we will see.

omg! I was a small 22 large 20 when I went into the hospital almost two weeks ago and I just put on two different pairs of bottoms that were an 18! I haven't been this small since before having kids. It's so hard to believe that just 3 months ago I was a size 24. I do not see any difference in me other than I look like I have a chicken neck LOL but the clothes tell it all don't they! For anyone else who really hasn't lost much weight since surgery measure yourself! I have only lost three pounds since leaving the hospial but I am getting smaller for sure!

yeah mine was the same way, that and regular sodas were always available. No one taught me how to eat, so I always over ate and the quality of what I did eat was bad. White breads, fried foods, kool aid, lots of potatos...all bad things!

Thank you! I cried! I have been so unhappy with myself for so long but I really made so many exuses on why i didn't stick to a diet but when I put on a size 24 jean and it fit me comfortably I said ENOUGH. My mothers health is failing because of her weight and so was mine. Looking back now I can't imagine being that way again, it was so depressing. Everyday has turned into possibilities! My sister and I are looking at kayak and bike prices for next summer and when I hit my goal weight my husband is taking me hang gliding! I didn't think any of that would ever be possible for me.

I am almost 2 weeks post op now. I am drinking a gnc protien shake with very low carbs and very high protien content, its called gold standard in double chocolate. They taste like chocolate milk just dont smell them LOL

I agree with the above comment, the fact that you are realizing what you are doing is half the battle! Get back to your good habits and try to remember how you felt at your heaviest that always helps me when I get to feeling like I just want to eat what everyone else is.

well, I take about 15 to 20 minutes to drink three ounces. I have three ounces at a time and I have 24 ounces in a day which equals out to 60g of protien. In between I sip water all day. Just stop if your stomach feels full and drink a little less the next time.

I had mine on the ninth, so I am almost two weeks post op now and I have only lost 3 pounds scale weight and I was thinking the same thing but measure yourself! I may have only lost 3 pounds but I went from a small 22, large 20 to an 18 jean so I am losing inches! Try keeping track of your measurements too and see what they tell you!

Ok, I am still on liquids for another week but I went to my fist dr appointment today. I saw the nutritionist and she explained how to start on pureed foods then soft foods. I am not sure how this is going to go. The thought of meat being in puree form makes me want to throw up and i'm supposed to eat protiens first then fruits and veggies then starches. How do I know when to switch? I know I am going to feel full fast so if I eat my protien that I can stand and I am full all the time is that ok? Any help would be appreciated I am nervous about all this and didn't want to be a pain in the nutritionists ass even though I know she wouldn't say anything.

why were you on liquids for so long? Dr. preference? Thanks for all the advice, I think I may puree longer if my stomach is having a hard time. Sometimes just drinking hurts a bit when I swallow I can't imagine actually putting anything solid down there!

ugh that has to be so fusterating! get better soon!

First of all, I had my one week appointment today. Doc says I look good and I'm getting enough protien but I need to work on my water intake more. Getting the drain removed was really gross and painful but its over now. The embarassing part was launching off the exam table and throwing up in the trash bin with my doc holding my hair. What a caring dr! He thinks it was a bit early to take my drain out but he wont be there next week so he did it. He just wanted to make sure I called him if I felt at all off in any way. Now for the greatest part; my nails are freaking awsome! It looks like I have fake ones put on without all the money and getting them filled every two weeks! Gotta love those vitamens three times a day!

Well, as much as it scard me I am done and home! It hurts a lot worse than I thought it would; Maybe because of the hernia repair. My drain is annoying but will only be in for a week. I had morphine after surgery and it did nothing at all so it was 16 hours of hell before they realized to switch me to dilodid which worked like a charm. I am now on the liquid lortab. I am going to open a new thread about it I think because everyone needs to be prepared for the night terrors from this medication! I woke up in the middle of the night sweating and seeing double and halucinating for about 2 minutes! After that I realized when it was happening so it didn't freak me out. The first one I was having tunnel vision and no lie it looked like the "tunnel" because thats what I was terrified of. So now I am just concentrating on healing and sipping almost non stop.

just had my one week post op and the drain is out! Now I am home and resting with some pain meds and i think i am going to sleep most of the day. The trip to the doc wore me out! I had to travel an hour to the hospital, then walk for ten minutes to get to the surgeons office, had my appointment, walked all the way back to the car, stopped at the bank, stopped at my pcp office to pick up a script, run to the pharmacy and now home. I feel like I ran a marathon!

I know my doc used the robot. I freaked and was like what if the robot spazs out in me lol

I had my surgery on 7/9. When I came home I was 212lbs, I went down a pound but it came back. Is this normal? When will the weight start to come off? It has to start, I'm living on protien shakes LOL but I thought I would have seen something by now.

ok good I was getting worried. I am following the dr's instructions perfectly.

Rofl oh thats funny i hear u i breastfed three kids for a year im getting a breast loft and tummy tuck next summer

A lot of people have a pain pump. None of the surgeons here do that...i wonder why. Yeah the night terror's sucked but i will say my dreams are really vivid noe the difference is some of them r just plain cool

As far as i know yes. Its annoying but necessary. Ill only have mine for a week

No more night terrors thank god!!
