I actually did injections but it didn't work. The drops are a waste of money your body doesn't absorb it well thru digestive system

I know this is bad but I quit the night before surgery

Popsicles help my thirst. And iced tea. I drink water but it goes down rough

Had my surgery Monday still in hospital. This is the worst pain I have ever had. I've given birth 4 times my son was 10lbs10oz and that was nothing compared to this

I can't lie flat I sleep sitting up. If I lie flat it hurts to get up. Hell week is truly hell week

I talked to the Dr he said my labs from yesterday were perfect no signs of infection. He said I have 30lbs of belly pulling away from my stitches paired with walking too much. So shower with the packing out let water and hibiclens run over it. Keep my binder and ice on. And only walk for 5 min every hour to prevent blood clots. Thanks ladies

I'm five days out yesterday when showering I noticed the larger incision sight (where the drain was) was swollen. It Burns to. I did more walking yesterday than ever since surgery I had to go to the hospital for blood tests and then to Walmart. It still really hurts and I never noticed it being swollen before

My husband told me he was proud of me! He said he was glad I got what I wanted and he loves me either way. When we met I was 220 which is a size 16 for me. 17 years later I'm 321(down from 338) and a size 26. Not even a week post op and he says he sees a difference. He has surprised me. He's been wiping my butt(hurts to reach around) since the surgery. He has bathed me everyday, shaved my legs and even painted my toes! I was so worried he'd be jealous! He said I'm a soldier for dealing with the pain without too many complaints. Although I'm quite bitchy because of hormones and pain. I'm a stay at home mom and he works 50+ hrs a week. He's been doing all of the coouand cleaning even gave the girls baths every night including combing their hair. I am truly blessed to have him!

My daughter used Bio oil during her pregnancy and she has no stretch marks or flabby skin she was a 0 before her pregnancy 110 lbs she went up to 165 during and within 6 weeks was a size 2. Ill be trying the Bio oil as soon as my incisions heal

It will be here before you know it. I got my date 3 months ahead of time and it flew by I'm now 4 days out

I started my preop liquid diet 2weeks early so I did it for a total of 3 weeks I lost 35 lbs. After surgery I'm not hungry at all. I've cooked for my kids watched my sister eat a chocolate crossaint. No hunger at all not even head hunger. I'm 4 days post op and Ive only has diet peach tea water vitamin water and a couple of sugar free popsicle (can't eat a whole one). That part is easy for me. The pain on the other hand....

Yes. My Dr said the same thing but I'm a dairy lover. Once I'm cleared ill be eating yogurt cottage cheese and drinking milk like I always have. Plus ill make all of my protein shakes with milk

I was totally expecting the opposite he gave me hell preop. Telling me not to lose too much and people eat around it and wasting my time. But he admitted that he was.afraid I'd die on the table and leave him and the kids. He says I'm beautiful fat or skinny but he doesn't want every man looking at me. Sweet!

Puritans pride has chewables. I've gotten all of my vitamins thru them: a gummy multivitamin plus fiber. B12 sublingual calcium citrate chewable 3month supply for all of them for $40.... can't beat that

Well I gained 13 pounds in the hospital I'm 4days post op. I thought it was funny! I've ingested 40 calories a day since surgery so its obviously fluids. My husband and I just laughed til my tummy hurt! He said the Dr didn't do the surgery he just implanted a 15 pound dumbell in my tummy!

I'm in Chicago. Lansing isn't that far and I'd love to do it. I feel for people whom can't afford it or don't have insurance. I'm blessed to have a public service employed husband who has phenomenal insurance. I didn't even have a copay. Not one red cent for NY surgery. Even got my vitamins covered!

The grass is greener on the other side because its fertilized with bullshit

My rny is scheduled for Mon morning. I was expecting something to go wrong with the pre op testing I had on Tuesday. But my doc said I'm healthy as a horse. Everything was within normal range. So here goes everything! Need your prayers

I never thought this day would come! I need some sleep but I can't!

All is well except for the pain. I had no idea it was going to be this bad Thanks everyone

I'm alive. In lots of pain but I'm OK. Thanks for asking. Just got home from the hospital

You're not crazy I'm still in lots of pain 3days out. I can only stand or walk for a few minutes. I have a binder which helps a little bit. I have a big pannus so gravity isn't helping with the pain.

The pain is horrible! Its worth it but its horrible

The drain site hurts the worst. No one told me it was gonna hurt this bad.
