What have you tried? I like splenda and estevia... Oat meal you should try some sugar free maple syrup

I wasnt required to have a bowel prep... Only a liquid diet the day before and nothing after midnight.

Well store brand gas x...best thing to ever happen to me today. I even bought some crazy off brand...took it like 20 min ago and i feel so much better already!!!

Mine never mentioned it! I only thought.of.it because of.stuff i had read on here. He wants me to walk the gas out lol but ive been up walking.for two days and.havent even.been.able to take a deep breath because of the pain in my chest

My doctor said its gas pain..and i have lots of crap im coughing up from my lungs...which he said is from my lungs being partially deflated during surgery stuff kinda settles. He says normal..i say it feels like a elephant is sitting on my chest..it hurts to breath and hurts to do anything really. I also had a hiadal hernia repaired which i am thinking could be the source of some of.my pain. For those of you post op...how are you doing? Liquid diets not too bad except i am so thirsty and its so hard for me to get that thirsty feel satisfied at 1ounce every 15 min. Lol im not really hungry..and the suger free popcicles have become.my very good friend.

I am on day two post op and having the same issues. I found sitting in my recliner with my hands stretched above my head helps. And using the spirmometer(spellcheck) but gosh it hurts. I know its partially gas pains and my dr said its because you lungs are half way deflated during surgery and crud settles. Coughing is good and taking deep breaths. I feel your pain though!

Im alive!!!!! My chest hurts so bad...they say its air but im coughing up junk too. I havent been.hungry...at a few popcicles sipped a bit.of.broth and ate a few bites of jello. They took my cath out and took my band aids off. Dr/psych/nutrition will come by today and hopefully i will go home today by 3

Just wanted to let everyone know i am alive!!! Feeling pretty good except my chest hurts so bad. Hopefully i will get to go home today.

Getting prepped! [ATTACH]1112[/ATTACH]

Thank you everyone. I'm ok just nervous. We're leaving to the hospital right now I'll be there in about an hour and a half.

Ahhhhh so first of all. ... Today is the day!!!! I have to be at the hospital at 7am.. It takes 1.5 hrs for me to get there lol...so im up at 430 and i cant sleep. Oh and im starving. Nothing but jello and broth today. Oh and like 5lbs of ice so i could crunch something. I am getting so nervous!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is my last day of real food. I plan on having some sushi for my last meal

I wasnt required to do a pre op diet but i am choosing too just to get into beast mode!!! I splurged on.so many items at GNC today. Have concoted some amazing shake recipes! The first two days i had three shakes and one protein bar... And.today i had two.shakes and miso soup...and i am not dying lol. I thought i would be. Im drinking a ton of water and g2 and i expected it to be horrible but its not. I dont even.feel week! Surgery on friday and im hoping to loose five lbs this week!!! Maybe a long shot but who knows!!!

I have done everything I think i could have done to mentally prepare myself for surgery. Now it comes time to prepare my house and pantry! So my question is what did you find most convient during your first few weeks? What foods (well food items...jello..shakes..ect) did you feel helped you the most. Did you find a shake that tastes amazing? Water mix ins? Anything you can reccomend..also what did you take to the hospital with you? Thabk you in advance! Surgery next friday

Saying my first of many prayers for all of this who are up for surgery this week! EEEKKK! I am so scared now!!!!! And this week is INsane... I dont even have any extra time to think, which may be good! To make matters worse I have JURY DUTY tuesday! boo! But Surgery Friday!!!!!!! And yes thank you to whoever is keeping this thread going. You are amazing

I dont know what I am suppose to do in reference to quotes but my starting weight 240

LEXI

Thank you i am so excited. I was going to make another post but i didnt want anymore drama i didnt even.want this one re opened lol. But i posted on the september surgeries post!

Just got my surgery date for September 7th!! Anyone else going this day?

Ok my patient coordinator called me this morning and scheduled my surgery for next friday september 7th! I have a pre op appointment on wednesday sep 5th. Now im excited and sooo nervous!!!

Me too. I have never been so bothered And hurt by a complete stranger. I understand that i stooped to.his level but he was so rude for no reason. And honestly this site is for support and questions. I Didnt join so thay every word i type can be judged and then rediculed. Which is what its turning into. I have serval people who are curious about where i am in the process which is why i made the post. So all of you feelig free to express your opinions on my choices in my life maybe this isnt the right place for you. I know you all dont make post with the intentions of every member on here to.tell you how wrong you are! I know i personally would never do that to a random person i did not know. I have seen several posts on here i didnt agree with and you know what i did... I kept on scrolling. I didnt stop to force my opinions.on anyone because its not my place!!!

I just want to say that i have medical proof that i was heavier. However desperatly seeking.change i lost some weight about 15lbs. Until i had to have some work done on my knee and was told to stay off of it. But i kept my weight off i.had lost and decided WLS was a option for me. My doctor supports my choice and was not happy to see my insurance denied me even though it was a very small amount of.weight 4/5lbs. Most of which was water weight. I want this more than anything and i was noy going to regain.the weight on purpose. I worked hard to loose it. And since all of you have the need to tell me how im doing something fraudulent.. I honestly never thought of it like that. But if someone wants to make a big deal about the couple pounds then make a big deal. You guys act like i went onto a car lot and stole a car. Or i am.some crazy 130lb person stuffing a bowling ball in my bra. Im sorry you have your opinions but in the end this only effects me. You can continue to get but hurt but i pay into my isurance for a reason. I have paid more than enough money to them and they will let me have my surgery. If they choose to deny me again i will take out a loan and pay out of pocket.
