Goodgonebad

Yea I had my surgery on the 2nd and I still have very LOUD rumbling noises.

Had my surgery on Oct 2nd. I must admit I didn't expect my pain to be that extreme. been home since Thursday. I startled walking in the. hospital about 10 hours after surgery. I am up in about all day and have to remind myself to take it easy. At the hospital I couldnt drink anything I can now get down at least half of my 64 oz of liquid.

I think you have done a great job! I think your surgeon may have been pulling your leg. At your height and weight I dont kniw where 40 pounds came from. from what I read about 20-25 ponds have been tge average for the first month.

Good for you girlie!! I wish u well.

In 3 more hours I will be going in for my sleeve. I'm not scared at all. I AM READY. I know that this is just the beginning of a new lifelong journey. I kept hearing the hardest part was the pre op diet. Mine was one week of protein and water and I breezed through that with no cheating. I hope that's no indication that I havent had my "hard part" yet. Well God is with me. I see you guys on the losers side!!

Surgery went well they said. I stayed in the bed all day and night in excruciating pain. I guess I am one that can not take pain. The nausea was extremely bad also. Today is day two in the hospital and I will probably go home tomorrow or friday. Im still taking pain meds and meds for the nausea every 4 hours but I feel its getting better.

My surgery is tomorrow too, I'm not nervous or excited. Im just ready to get it on. Wishing you the best.

Okay, so it has been a long Journey for me but I'm almost there. I chose to take this Journey alone being that I am a loner by nature. I think I prepped my house well for my trip to the hospital. I've purchased enough to get me to at least 3 months post op. I read everything and got everything I could think of under the sun to help me. Did everything the Dr and NUT ordered. Went to tell my siblings and Boys know of my surgery. The ONLY thing left is I have nobody to pick me up from the hospital and no one to watch my dogs. So now I am no longer excited I am not scared, I just fill NUMB.... Now I KNOW everyone is used to me handling everything by myself, but I feel I shouldnt have to ask. I will figure something out, I always do. #Ramble

That's sweet Joicey. That alone makes me feel better.

This is a good question and I wondered the same thing myself. Mine is excepted a few days after and I had concerns if it came early. My surgery is on the 2nd!! I wish you well!!!

If they haven't called then it means it is good news!!! You have nothing to worry about. The nervousness is normal by the way. : )

ufff!! that's what I keep reading Libbylou that its gonna be SLOW. I Do you exercise and if so how much? I dont want to become discouraged by a SLOW weight loss.... sighs : (

Welcome Oct Sleevers. I started my one week pre op diet on Monday I weighed in at 265[i had several food funerals] I got on the scale this morning it said 248. I have 3 days left and I predict I will be down to 245 by surgery on Oct 2nd. That's 20 pounds in one week. Everything that I have read said if you lose a lot of weight pre op, your weight will come off slow post op and I am concerned about that a LOT!!! ne suggestions?

I LOVED your story and I am so happy that you shared it! I can relate to so much that you have said and am inspired by it. I have my surgery on Oct 2 and I look forward to the journey and living and loving again. God Bless

I have 4 days left also. Its not as bad as I thought it would be. Im only allowed Protein shakes and Water and Im zipping through these days like nothing. Started at 265 scale read 249 this morning and I only started on Monday. That's CRAZY GREAT to me! Im so ready for next week too!!! BRING IT!! WOO! HOO!

It's the morning of day 3 of my 7 day water and protein shake pre op and can this be possible? At start the scale said 265 got on the scale it reads 253! That's 12 pounds in 2 days. I KNOW its water but wouldnt it be lovely if I kept loosing like this for the remainder of my pre op? : ) Not starving yet but my stomach growls all the time.

I am having surgery because I am tired of regaining my weight. I want something [tool] that can help me to keep it off!!! In my past Ive lost a great amount of weight [50 or more pounds] 3x's and put it all back on and some. NOT GOOD!!!!

YES!!!! I WILL DO THIS!!! LOL! I'll just keep on saying that till it sinks in : )

Okay, so I start my one week Preop diet tomorrow. I can have nothing but protein mixed with water and water. No sf jello, sf pops, NOTHING!! I know I can do this. It's only ONE week!! People have fasted for much longer periods. RIGHT?!?! uggggg : (

ummm yea, I start my one week preop diet on Monday surgery on Oct 2nd and you guys seem better off. I can only have protein shakes mixed with water and water....PERIOD! But good luck to us all!!!

Thanks for sharing!

yep, days 1-14 (clear liquid diet) week 3-8 (Protein drinks and Vitamins) week 9 (full liquid/Blenderized and FINALLY week 10 (soft to regular foods). I suppose if Dr. Cahill extended the liquid portion it must be for a good reason. oh well...

Anyone use Dr. Cahill in Indiana?
