    ANY APRIL SURGERIES?....

    My dr said full liquids for 6 wks postop to make sure my pouch is fully healed. It is very hard, if you count the 2 wk preop liquid diet that is 2 months on liquids. I am down 34 pounds since my surgery april 29th

    Speaking of the drain pouch, how do they remove it. Do they just pull it out and what about the hole left afterwards? I cant wait for it to be removed.
  12. Do you take pepcid everyday. I have a prescription my doc gave me to take 2 times a day. Maybe that would help your chest pain/indegestion
  13. I am 4 days post op and bought the sampler pkg from bjs bariatrics. I mixed the carribean cooler with water as it said to do and it was disgusting. Does anyone know anything good to try?

    OMG im done!

    Postop day 4, doing pretty good for the most part. I tried to drink an optifast protein shake and it gave me horrible diarrhea. Cant wait to get this drain tube out as well.

  19. Thank you, I feel like I have been so emotional like someone has died. I havent told my parents yet because they will probably not agree with my choice only my husband and kids know. Maybe I will feel better getting it off my chest cuz I know I wouldnt feel right going thru this type of surgery and them not knowing.

    I am glad you are doing well. My turn is in 2 days. Any advice on what I should bring to the hospital.
  24. I can relate. I am day 4 of my pre-op diet and feel exhausted. My surgery is april 29 and have been a little emotional. I just think how much better I am going to feel and what a better quality of life I will have.
