take it easy, get plenty of rest and walk around when you can. Yeah, happy for you!

I have Midnight, my 13 year old black lab, adopted from the pound. (momma's boy) My little princess Winter, a bichon lasa apso, 4 years old (my little lady) And my sour patch kid, Koda, a 5 month old golden lab. At first he's sour then he's sweet Also a sweet guniea pig, 5 months old, her name is Sunny. (the little boss) I am covered in pets.

My office is having a pot luck today starting right now. A few people keep inviting me in. One said just come in and have a look at the food. Would you say to a drug addict "come in the crack house just to have a look"? I am still on liquids even though my dr said I can start eating soft food. My tummy is still a little sore and I don't want to hurt myself. So I am just staying away from the food.

No my co workers did not know I had surgery. I wanted to keep it on the DL. @CarrieCarrie, I had my surgery a week ago yesterday. I am still do not get hungry and most of the time I don't feel like eating. I look at my watch and think it's time to eat. My tummy growls but I can not tell if I am hungry or healing. Now my co workers are telling me about the hot chillie that I missed out on. Well good, I can't stand spicy food. So I really did not miss out on anything. NO BIGGY... All I'm thinking about is healing. You know what's bad, is when my kids try to feed me. Last night they were having fried chicken, mac and cheese and deep fried potato. My little girl says she wants to have dinner as a family but I can not sit at the table when they eat that kind of stuff. I just can't. So I sit in front of the tv while my family is eating at the table. I keep thinking "I'm healing, this will pass, remember what you are doing this for".

OH YES! High five ger fren!

I am back at work today. A co worker noticed something different about me. OH yeah, my new glasses. AAANNND I look a little thinner too. This morning I was thinking "one week ago today I was in surgery". I'm scared I am losing too much too fast. Also I am cold all the time and I never get cold. I was always the 1 running outside with hardly any warm clothes on in the middle of winter. Things that make you go huumm...

I am going to be so happy to get off my meds. And buy some cute sweaters.

I had my surgery a week ago today. And the way I was feeling when I left the hospital, I would not have traveled. I was in pain, tired, throwing up and weak. It was even harder for me to sit up or get out of bed. I think you would might be in the same shape I was a week ago. So sorry about your loss.

Wow! 71 pounds lost, I can not wait to be where you are. I have never in my life lost 71 pounds but I want that to happen to me. You are an inspiration! Keep it up, you are doing great.

Hello hopes, I was banded on Oct 22nd and I am very new to this. So far this site has been a fountain of knowledge for me since I have joined. I love the support I get from my lbt friends. They make me feel I am not alone in my journey.

I was taking the kids out for Halloween fun today. I think I may have over did it cuz now I'm in pain. I ate soup before & sip water and walk, no heavy lifting. I don't understand why I am in pain. I am 5 days post op.

Yes, soup is on my diet but really thin clear Soups. You were right lassie, I did over do it yesterday. It was a lot of walking. First I went to my child's soccer game then we went to a carnaval at the glacier. Then we went to another Halloween carnival at school and then took my oldest to her Halloween dance at her school. And topped it off with some last minute shopping and got home after 8 pm. When I got home I took my pain meds and went right to bed. I am up this morning sipping on coffee thinking, "Why did I do that to myself". Thank you friends. I feel much better today.

My tummy looked like that. I looks and feels better today 6 days post op.

My doc said one week liquid, one week mushy and I can eat solid.

My tummy is so so itchy!!!

Cold packs help. Dr replaced steri strips yesterday. Still have some pain but doing great. High five!

Hi friends, I feel much better this morning. I did a lot of walking last night to help get rid of the gas. The pain is about half gone but the it's supper itchy now. Yeah I'm healing! Also I have my first post op Dr appointment today. Have a good day!

lyn, I was also afraid of giving up my favorite food. But I was more afraid of giving up my life with my family. In my 2 week pre op I had to give up carbs and it did feel like I was in re hab and having with drawls. What happens when you eat and it gives you a good feeling, right. A feeling of happiness and comfort. And letting go of that feeling is fearful. Well, no one can make this choice for you but you. If you choose wls, you have to want it for the right reasons. And have a great support group to cheer you on all the way. Good luck with what every you choose.

call ur dr to do an unfill, asap

also hot liquid helps.

When my babies had bubbles after eating I would pat their backs. You know it works on adults too. Also when you are moving around, don't tense up, try to relax. Move around as much as you can, it will get better. I know, I had surgery on Monday and doing good now.

good luck Brit, I said a prayer for u. take care friend

I was super busy the day before my surgery so I did not have time to be nervous. I got excited the morning of, as I was on my way to the hospital. Good luck to you.

I am sort of new to this 2. I am 3 days post op and I read someone said it's called progressive burping. someone described it as slimmey and uncomfortable.

Beautiful words of wisdom. Thank you shrcumm.
