    Im hungry :( :( :(

    It sucks that I will be on liquids for 2 weeks. 10 more days to go .. In glad I am not the only one. I weigh 210lbs 5'4" so I thought maybe it's just me being big

    I've been adding half water to it though. I don't even taste the sugar. It's the only drink I am liking Uhg. I know this is just a tool to help us but gosh idk why I am feeling this way. I was fine at the hospital. But being home is making me sad and hungry

    How did you prepare for your surgery?

    Make sure you buy a blistex when you go to the hospital. That helped me soooooo muchhhhh... Prepare yourself emotionally that you can't eat when u come home. I was so excited about the surgery that I didn't prepare myself emotionally and now it's been 4 days since surgery and I am having a hard time . I know it's not forever but it has been the longest 4 days of my life. And congrats. I was so excited when I got approved.
  4. I was so upset that I couldn't find something I liked since I only had surgery 4 days ago. Well my sister made me soup and I only had the broth. Omg I loved it so freaking much. It didn't bother me at all. I had the 4 ounces less then 30 min. I wanna cry because I am glad I found something I am enjoying and satisfying. I honestly feel great now I'm full and jut laying down watching catfish lol. I walked a lot around the house since it's snowing out. I don't feel sick or dizzy. I pray to god that I will continue this way in the future I have HOPE .... I didn't realize giving up food would be so emotionally hard.. But I can do this !!!
  5. I worked so hard to drink 4 ounces just so I can be released. I took the longest shower ever and I loved it. I was scared to get my scars wet but honestly it didn't bother me at all. I'm drinking white cranberry juice with water because my mouth is dry and I haven't had any liquid in the last 2 hours. I am just hot hungry. My tummy is swollen but I don't feel pain unless I Stand too much. I am now laying on my bed and drinking and I love it. I might watch a movie or two whole I'm drinking. It feels great being home. Couldn't be any happier. I am so happy I am starting my New Years fresh. This time my wish will come true. I can't wait to see the weight come off. I happy to have you all here because 90% of the items I took with me and purchased all came handy. Thank you will check back tomorrow

    Don't be scared to get then wet. I was so scared but having warm Water on my body felt soooooo good. It didn't hurt at all. Nothing will happen trust me. I took a shower after 30min coming from the hospital. I feel great. I just miss food lol. Drinking sucks. I want to chew
  7. I can't believe I was able to sleep on my side with no pain at all. That was a major plus. Did not take any medications today and not planning to take any. I am having a hard time drinking my liquids. I just want regular food. Like I am literally locking myself in my room so I say away from the kitchen. There are so many delicious food that I want to have lol. My mouth is really dry and I already had some tea this morning and now I'm eating some Jello. I do feel weak, I wonder if I'm not having enough drinks. I hope this gets better soon. When I woke up this morning I forgot I had surgery lol. No pain at all. When I got up walking I could feel a little pain but nothing major. I want some Soup right now . I am following instructions to the tea but it's hard. I am tempted to have a little soup. I won't I won't. I don't want to go to the hospital and damage my new tummy. I've been taking lots of naps just so I don't think about food. Ever since I got home, I've been dreaming about eating chocolate and food. When I started this journey, I brushed off everything and just focused on getting approved. I didn't realize how much we have to sacrifice and how hard it will be. I hope it gets better and easier .
  8. So today is my first day home. I was ok throughout the day until I smelled food from downstairs. My parents had people over last night for New Year's Eve so there were lots of deserts which I want one so bad. This is my 3rd day and still have another 11 days on liquid. I am drinking broth but I hate it so much already lol.. I had a Popsicle and it didn't bother me at all. Some said they had pudding during this phase, is it ok to have it? I love pudding and I don't mind eating it all day every day lol. Of course sugar free. The pain is not so bad. I took half a pill earlier but not planning to take it again. I just want to be in phase 2 already!!! I don't hVe regrets but I just don't feel myself at the moment. I am following instructions and drinking as much as I can...

    Thank you so much. Happy New Years
  10. I ended up spending New Year's Eve at the hospital. I just don't feel hungry. I only had few ounces of liquid throughout the day. Today I am having tea and I love it. I really want to go home. I just don't feel hungry at all. My tummy is little swollen but the pain is not bad at all. I took a walk already and I felt just fine. It's just hard to drink because if my stomach doesn't like it, it comes right back. I am liking warms drinks better then cold. Yesterday I couldn't drink plain water but today it was much better. I hope they will let me go. Miss my family. I didn't tell any of my family members except my mom and 2 sisters and my 3 closest friends. Everyone thought I had kidney stones and I had my kidneys cleaned bc of infections. No one needs to know. I will keep this a secret because it's only my business. Last night I kept dreaming of eating French fries and drinking soda. I do miss it. But thinking how skinny I will be and how I won't feel embarrassed of my weight, I am beyond happy. I guess it's true that it only gets better. Can't wait to lose some weight. I was 213 going to surgery and hopefully by summer I will be 140 at least

    3rd day after surgery

    Thank you so much. Yea it's getting better. I am finally going home today. Couldn't be happier. I hope I'll be able to drink when I get home. Happy New Years to you also. We will be some skinny asses with a hot bathing suit hahha yay us. It's so worth it. I will miss food but thinking how nice I will look and not be ashamed of my body makes me smile and work really hard
  15. Hi pals, So I had my surgery yesterday. I have to say that I wanted a redo that's how much it hurts. I kept gagging because of all the gas and there is nothing they can give you to make it stop besides you have to walk. And who wants to walk just few hours after surgery? Not me for sure. So even though you feel like you need to throw up, nothing will come out but but gas. I was regretting and should of put more thoughts into it. They were giving me medications but still felt discomfort. Finally in the evening I took few walks including 3 am because of the gas pain. You have no choice believe me. Omg I am literally peeing every hour because of all the Fluid they are giving me. I am still epo until my test later. Hopefully I won't have a problem. Oh I had throat discomfort and it was so scratchy. I told my nurse and she ordered me this spray which they approved and she sprayed it on my throat. At first the taste was horrible I felt like I wanted to throw up but OMG it helped sooo freaking much. It numbs the throat. Right now it's 6:30am and honestly I feel good. No pain besides maybe my back hurts a little and I can feel my scars when getting up to use the bathroom which is normal. I thank god for not having any shoulder pain how some explained. Maybe it might start later but as of right now I am good. The nurse said that's because of gas and as much as you walk.. It will help a lot. So do I have regrets now? Not so much. I feel normal and forgot I had surgery lol. So don't be discouraged everyone is different

    My surgery is tomorrow OMG

    Hi guys. So I am spending another day at the hospital since I only had 3 ounces of fluid in the last 10 hours. I am just not hungry. Seems like I like hot better then cold. I love the broth so much. No pain in my tummy maybe my shoulder hurts a little but not bad at all. I walked a lot today and I felt just fine. Don't be scared. Just know that day one won't be easy. At least line wasn't

    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    Doesn't look like I will be going home today. I only had one ounce of apple juice in the last 3 hours. This is not good. They just gave my some broth and I am loving it. I can't tolerate plain water though. I am not hungry at all. My brain is though . Not in pain so much which is good but every once in a while they give me medication because my stomach is sore.. I am so glad I reminded my nurse that I am allergic to codeine because that's what my doctor ordered apparently. So sucks I can't take the strong medication but it's manageable. I am watching spongebob square pants on tv lol I am 25 so hey it's acceptable. Make sure you take a blistex with you. That helped me so much. Now I'm gonna go enjoy my broth yummy.

    December 2013 Sleevers Come In!

    I wish I can have a redo .. I am sleepy but I can't because everyone they give me medication I have bad gas which I have to walk it. Uhg I just want to sleep. Please don't think this will be a piece of cake like I did. Feeling very uncomfortable. I can tell my tummy asking for food but I know I can't have any. I just want done water. Ohh my roommate at the hospital is snoring which is not fun at all. Just want to go home

    My surgery is tomorrow OMG

    I had surgery today at 7:30.. Once I said bye to my mom I was soo sad I was crying an breathing heavily. I had a nurse who was holdings hand and I pretended she was my mom. She told me she wouldn't let go. I was sooo scared. The staff was nice and all. I was regretting it so much I wasted to stop but I knew this was what I wanted. Woke up in pain. Could barely open my eyes. I refused pain medication and my mom and sister apparently. Woke up again after 30 and asked for my mom and medication. My scares do not hurt at ALL. It's my throat that does. It's a just a MUST that you AlL bring a blistex with you. That's helping me a lot. You have no idea so please listen and go buy one. My throat is very dry. There was few times that I wants to throw up but there was nothing to vomit except gas. Omg that hurts so much. I am sad that I am feeling this way. And please don't think I am discouraging anyone just telling my story. They just gave me medication and for dizziness. I am sitting up at the moment bc they said it help with the gas. My back it's staring to hurt a little. Do I have regrets? Maybe just a little! I feel my stomach empty but even if I could I wouldn't want to eat or drink anything. I've been doing the breathalyzer thingy every hour because it helps. I also have a heart monitor since I had heart surgery. Ohh and they wrapped these massage things on my leg which helps with the blood clots but my legs feel so good I am loving it. I will check back later
