I had my surgery two weeks ago yesterday and my upper back kills me. Never had upper back pain always lower. Laying down is the only thing that relieves it. Pain killers do nothing. I hope this ends soon. I have lost a total of 51 lbs since I started my pre op diet on march 26. My surgery was April 23rd and I have lost 30 since then. Feel great aside from this damn back pain

I'm so glad your are doing well. It's a great feeling isn't it. I have a hard tone getting in my protein shakes but I found a creamcicle flavor one and it's awesome lol. I also haven't added any protein powder to my Food. Can't stand the taste of the plain protein.

My surgery was April 23rd. I'm 32 with a 1 yr old and a 3 yr old. My surgery went great and I couldn't be happier. Was put on liquid pre op diet on march 26 and to this day I have lost 40 lbs since then. Best decision of my life

I can't figure it out either

I started my liquid diet on march 26th at 405. Had my surgery on April 23rd at 382 and today my scale says 366. I have absolutely no problems or complications so far. I sometimes don't even feel like I had it done, well aside from the little incisions still on my belly lol. I haven't eaten to much or drank to much to have any discomfort. Feeling amazing. So far best decision I've made.

How do u upload pics?

How do we post pics? I'm computer illiterate I guess lol

Hey. Had my surgery on Monday. Was home Wednesday. No problems so far other than having trouble choking down the protein shakes ew. Plus I was told to add protein powder to my food but I am unable to find unflavored powder and let me tell ya, vanilla powder added to cream of vegetable soup taste like, well it's gross lol

I am still in hospital. Had my surgery on Monday. Will be home in a few hours though. I was told to add protein powder to whatever I eat and drink protein shakes for my snacks and with meals.

Hey. I'm still in the hospital as well. I'm supposed to be getting out in a few hours. So how r u feeling? I couldn't hold down an ice chip first night. Yesterday was better. The nausea went away for a bit. Had a lot of pain on my left side. They said that's normal. I hope your doing well

Hey. I am on my second day as well. I hey to go home tomorrow morning. I was just wondering how u are feeling.

I'm in hospital. Had my surgery yesterday. Feeling very nauseated. Was having a hard time holding ice chips down. This morning is a little better

I'm sitting in the hospital as well. All prepped and waiting to be taken in to the operating room. About thirty minutes away. Yay. I'm scared shitless lol but very excited.

Tomorrow is my big day as well. At 11:45am. I get nervous when I think about so I have been keeping myself busy lol. I'm not nervous about pain. Just hoping I make it threw ok. Good luck to you. And everyone else who's lives are going to change to tomorrow for the better

Was wondering if anyone on here is from Ontario?

I am so nervous and excited. One week to go ????

I'm in Ontario Canada and my doctor told me to wait at least 18-24 months before trying. I definitely know how you feel. Im 32 and have been overweight my whole life. At 22 I was married and all I wanted was a baby and we tried and tried but it never happened. I think that definitely contributed to my weight gain which steadily climbed to 405 lbs. I ended up leaving my husband and got into not the healthiest of relationships Nd one day, bam, I was pregnant. It was by far the happiest day of my life. A day I waited 29 years to see. Now I have two boys. 3 and 1 and I definitely need this operation just to keep up with them lol. Been on my liquid diet for 21 days. 7 more to go and i have lost 25 lbs in that time. Life's great now and it's only gonna get better.

Hey. I have been on my liquid diet since march 26th. I have to do it for 28 days. My surgery is scheduled for April 23rd. The first three days will be the hardest. My doctor doesn't let us have anything but four shakes of Optifast a day plus Water, little amount of broth and sugar free Jello. I see on here some ppl are allowed to eat veggies and I'm so jealous lol. But before I started I weighed 405. I'm now down to 380 in just three weeks so that is definitely motivation. I was soo tempted to cheat and I did at Easter. I had two hard boiled eggs and I felt so bad afterwards because I was doing so good. But I am back on track. It's difficult but I keep telling myself it is not forever l

"]Oh I know it's not good for me lol but if I ate and drank everything that was good for me I wouldn't he in the position I'm in lol none of us would. Doctors and dieticians have different opinions on a lot of stuff. Our dieticians say eat absolutely nothing on liquid diet yet other ppl are told they can have vegetables and other things. So I'm doing what I can to make it through without having one bite of anything. If diet coke helps then that's what I'm gonna do.

Oh I know it's not good for me lol but if I ate and drank everything

Actually they said we are allowed to drink it as long as its diet. Of course we won't be able to afterwards but I find drinking diet coke helps with feeling full. And after seeing all the food everyone else gets to enjoy while on the liquid diet, I don't feel bad that all i have are four 300ml shakes a day and a 591ml bottle of diet coke LOL

I started on march 26. 28 days of yummy optifast lol and diet coke

I'm so jealous you get to eat all that food lol I can only have four shakes a day. Beef broth and sugar free jello. That's not fair lol. I'm on day 20. 8 more days for me. My surgery is on the 23rd

Today is day 18 for me on liquid diet and I have lost 23lbs. Yay!!! Lol

It's a lot easier when there are ppl around u are supportive. In the beginning of my liquid diet my family was a little more supportive then they are now. Really makes me irritated when I'm so hungry my stomachs growling and then have to sit and watch my boyfriend gulp down McDonalds. I keep telling myself this is my journey not his but I wish he would be more supportive.
