Yeah not everyone has to do bowel prep. It wasn't bad but it was helpful to not have to go for a few days after and it makes it a "cleaner" area for the drs to work but its all up to them if u do it.

Hi Chell - what are you eating specifically?

I had to drink 2 bottles of laxative the day before and I was expecting it to be terrible...it was nothing...I expected it to be like normal diarrhea when u cramp and feel sick....not the case at all...u just suddenly feel like u have to go, u go, and that's it...I was worried for no reason lol. Just don't leave the immediate vicinity of ur toilet lol

So basically take out the noodles? I'd be in for that. I love egg drop. I found a really great chicken broth that is like egg drop minus the sodium. It's called College Inn chicken broth and its really quite delicious!! I puréed spaghetti-o's yesterday and I loved it...It was nice to have something familiar and tasty

Pre or post op? I would say no way on post op and probably ok on pre op...

Ill drink to that....that's the honest truth for sure!! I was in recovery for 7 hours working out a morphine reaction...awful. Just awful.

Burping is good! Try gas-x strips to relieve it a bit

Wish I was ready for the gym. I can't go a day without pain meds and I went grocery shopping today and it wiped.me.out.

Imagine yourself looking like how you want to look. Does it matter what it takes to get there? NOPE! Good luck tomorrow!

I just got cleared to stage 2, full liquids and soft puréed foods with baby foods and blended stuff. I am definitely smaller but I'm still very swollen and my clothes got smaller with my pre op diet so I'm still enjoying that but in the next day or 2, at this rate, I should be below my pre surgery weight by Friday, which is 40lbs less than I was 8 weeks ago I am now 1 week post op and I'm still managing discomfort and gas but that is all so easy to deal with. So happy you are happy with your progress!!

No regrets. It hurts but temporarily. I am happy I did it so far. I'm a week post op.

I had mine on Wednesday. Was really bad all day Wednesday but been feeling really good

I can't sleep either....tried....can't....

Do you do the grocery buying for the whole house? Just curious I like ur idea of the fridge....I might have to do that...

Anyone else get the silastic ring?

Did anyone else get the silastic ring? Why or why not? I got it and my dr said they were the only place in Illinois that provide it. I'm very happy I got it personally.

I keep telling myself that too and then imagine myself thinner. Power of positive thinking.

I agree it sounds delish but I'm easily distracted by shiny objects so I switch to thinking about me in sexy cloths!!! I have a costume picked out for Halloween already

The minute I think about Texas toast covered with cheese and burger and bacon I think about not eating that and how smoking I'm going to look in my bikini.....

Decided to post my high weight and pre surgery pic. I lost 40lbs in the after pic:) it's encouraging to see the difference...can't wait to do it again in 40 more lbs That is 6 weeks of weight loss...definitely need to stay determined!

My lower left is indented too. I assume its from the manipulation of equipment in there
