Booyah!!

Kime-Lou , I am having a frustrating issue, being 30 post op and am stuck at the same weight for over 10 days, I am eating right (I believe) and excersing 5 days a week. this is normal? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Linda

Wishing you the best of luck, alot happens on that big day. Just listen good and follow instructions. And I agree with the heating pad, it was by savior. I am 17 days post op and feel great! lots of energy, and motivation. Keep us posted with your updates and stay calm, you made a long journey to get to this point, and it will be worth it.

Me too, i do feel some tightness after a burp in my throat.I am on full liquids also.

Farina is dry cereal that needs to be cooked like grits or oatmeal. I personally like it with some cinnamon and sweetener.

Yumm Yumm!! thats the motivation we all need, to have my husband pick me up would be pretty thrilling for me. As long as me doesnt end up in traction!! lol I am looking forward to amusement park rides, shopping at the regular stores for clothes, booths at restaurants (not tables) airplane seats and bathrooms. Many things that were a struggle or imbarassment. Happy days are coming!!! although it is snowing like crazy in Chicago!!

You can do it!! We all did/will. I was super excited because I lost 18 pounds in the 3 week pre-op diet, my Dr. was very happy. I took that part very seriously, but also got out my final cravings a week before surgery! So I was content going in, I had a wonderful RN at the surgery center that was all my strength and she was so fun and friendly, it didnt seem like I was there for the reason I was. Good Luck to all, take a deep breath and think forward a few months! God Bless Linda

You can do it Cindy!! i am 5 days post-op and am still in the liquids for two weeks. I need to remember that bad eating is what got me here in the first place. And that nothing, I mean nothing tastes as good as feeling thin (ner) does!!! Eventually we can eat it all, IN MODERATION. Good luck to all, and hang in there. h20 h20 h20 !!!! have a postive week! Linda

looks like we are all on the same page, I have more pain in the morning. I keep ice packs going 20 minutes on 20 off. I ahve not tried gas-x maybe thats all I need to cut back on the pressure. I will try that now and see what happens. And I also have plenty of gurgling sounds and plenty of the lower gas too. But what does feel wierd is burping, I think that is when I actually feel something on the stomache itself. Like a sort of tigh feeling.
