Kyrsta I'm in Chicago

Nothing strange about it, I was super excited as well. Everyone would always ask if I was afraid and I'd say no just excited. It didn't seem like it was happening fast enough. I'm 16 days post op noe

My surgeon asked me what surgery I wanted and why. Talked about medical history. Explained the procedure and gave me a folder of all the things I needed to do pre and post op. Lasted 15min at most. I didn't have any questions because I've been researching this extensively.

I hadn't had a bm in a week so I was drinking milk of mag like it was water and citrucel in every glass of water I drank every day to no avail. Finally went and bought an enema today. It worked to well. Explosive every 10 min everyone in the house could hear it I was even running the bath water and sink. Horribly embarrassing. In 17 years of marriage my husband has never heard or smelled me pass gas. I was raised by my Grandma (old school Puerto rican) you weren't even allowed to say fart in her house. Ladies don't burp out loud and they only pass gas in the bathroom.

You'll get plenty of sleep in the hospital. Don't forget your chapstick. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery your way

I have had the mirena in for 3 years and I love it. The only side effect is no period and to me that's a perk.

I had a drain but they took it out the day after surgery. The kicker is they left the drain site open (2in wide 3in deep) I have to pack it with gauze every day. It sucks but they say it needs to heal from the inside out so it doesn't get infected

Click on my name it should pop up

Technically I was supposed to start soft foods today but yesterday I was craving tuna so I pureed it with Mayo mustard and dill relish it was delicious. I ate too much tho so I was uncomfortable for an hour or so. I mostly eat SF pudding mixed with protein powder and milk because I know it goes down well. I had clam chowder for lunch I went out to eat with my husband and that's really all I could have from their menu. I can have unlimited liquids without getting full. But any solids I get full fast. I need to learn to slow down. You'll get full before you realize it, by then its too late...if you want a buddy pm me ill give you my number ......Jessica

I had trouble with my 3rd shift nurse as well. Lazy and rude but I loved 1st shift 2nd was OK (male nurse) not as compassionate. Take your pain meds before it gets bad that's how they work. Don't "tough it out" my Dr said people who are in pain heal slower. No need to be a martyr or hero. I'm 2 weeks out today and I still take my pain meds 2-3 times a day. Especially when I first wake up. I hold my pee til they kick in cuz it hurts to get off the couch. Hope you feel better soon

Nothing eww about that pic you look great. Nice rack too lol

I think it would be selfish if you didn't do the surgery. You'd rob your family of years of vacations and spending time with them. Look at the life span of a morbidly obese person with all of those health issues. I'm not being judgemental or mean. I was nervous too but this was the best gift I could give myself and my family. I have 4 kids and a loving husband. I've inspired my husband and stepmother to have the surgery and I'm only 2 weeks out. If you need someone to talk to pm me ill give you my number

Congratulations on making such a mature decision. I wish I would have done it when I was 20. I'm 34 now at least I have the rest of my 30's to be healthy!

Maybe its your metabolism kicking in

They use your first weight don't worry once you're approved they don't deny I called my insurance company and asked

I gained nearly 20 lbs in the hospital and I've only lost 11 of it. But I'm not worried I know ill lose it

I suggest protein shake for breakfast andlunch a lean protein and veggies for dinner and fresh raw veggies for snacks stay away from carbs and sugars I lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks doing that pre op. The more weight you lose the safer your surgery will be. Its hard but you can do it. Start walking every day. When I go to the store I park the furthest spot available so it forces me to walk

I'm boobles too I've been a 38b since high school. 220 or 338 my bra size is the same no back rolls either. Now my booty and legs is a whole different situation I'm so outta proportion I look like a charicature. I'm 2 sizes bigger on the bottom.

Carb smart by breyers is made with splenda. There's bars and ice cream

I'm almost 2 weeks out and I'm still on the couch. And I go thru a bag of Ice a day. I keep ice packs on the drain sight. Pain meds and g2 Gatorade are my best friends oh and I can't drink shakes so I mix sugar free pudding a scoop of protein powder and a little milk delicious

G2 Gatorade is my best friend
