Welcome to family!! Sounds like you have allot to be proud of! You have done really great so far! I guess the basic questions come to mind, are you taking 30+ minutes to eat your 1/2 cup? Are you making sure that your not drinking liquids for 30 minutes before and after eatting? Those are some big questions but I am sure your Doing all that. A med switch might not be out of the question unless there are not many options

Most have a pretty methodical process and most of your questions will be answered but don't be afraid to ask anything! U Gould walk out feeling good not confused or wishing u would have asked something! Good luck and have your questions ready!

Good luck!! Let us know how your doing after!

Chilli ohh yeah! And I got jenelizza's crab cakes going in the oven and I am honestly excited

Try to get some sleep and ask for something to help u relax when u talk tithe anesthesiologist if he says what do u want say versed lol

That's awsome! Went for a walk tonight and it wa s great! I'm trying some of the cheesecake recipe from jenneliza

Yeah still droppin fast everyone I saw today at work (just stopped by lol) said they could tell I have lost it in my face. I can't wait to get to the gym! /blush but thank you for noticing

Ahh forgot the pic

This is a great post an well worded! Thank you for the great info!

No fever but nurse is asking PA. My guess was because I was metsbolising fat and muscle for use as glucose that I was having some sort of hypoglycemia she agrees and is thinking maybe I can start my purée and full liquid a day early!! 2 to 3 lbs a day is what I am dropping ATM lol.

Woooot congrats! I am so excited for you!!! Isn't it great!! Your going to love it I am thinkin about ya!! Let us know when ur on the other side girl!!

I would love the list emailed as well please!! David_stollery@yahoo.com

That's cool I see how it is, no biggy we will creat our own ripped but u cant check out our shirtless photos thread soon enough. Bet we get invites then.

Holy crap u get protein already !! I am day 6 and still on Clear liquids. Low energy is to be expected hun and from what I have read very normal. Try not to overdo it and make sure your staying hydrated! Watch the drainage for color/smell and heat/redness around sites but hang in there!

. . . . Hmm I know I'm new but where was my invite? /pouty face

I'm with you tank on weightlifting! I love to weightlift and I can't wait to actually have some definition you know? I don't necessarily want to be huge but man it sure would be nice to show up at a hospitsl in my jumpsuit, be like hi my name is Dave I'm with lifeflight what can ido for you today? and it wouldn't be a bad idea maybe to have some of the nurses be like mmmmm let's face creep him. Lol.

Hopefully u have already gone but aye I'm with Jen. If your on blood thinners nose bleeds can be a sign that your not at a therapeutic level. I had nose bleeding issues for 2 days post op but they wernt concerned with it. Still better to call.

Welcome to the family and the beginning! Glad to have you!

Don't worry about being a wuss. everybody's pain tolerance is different just like everybody's experience is different. just remember you started this journey you can finish it! were all here for you and feel free to post whenever you need encouragement and when you get in the hospital remember to Ask fir pain meds when the pain starts. don't let the pain get that bad like I did before you ask! hang in there well here for you

Oh my god that is so awesome make sure to have him start posting on the boards as well. I'm so excited that you both get to start this journey together!

It is odd how all the pre op diets are different. For me it was as much Protein as possible remember that getting excess protein will help dump glycogen stores from your liver which shrinks your liver. Every surgeon is so different like I can't do puréed until. Week 2 some people get puréed after 4 or 5 days :/ For the woman having problems with the pre op diet we feel ur pain . I'm sorry that your struggling with it but te end result will be worth it trust me! I'm 5 days post op and started journey at 330 lbs. I cheated and weighed myself today an am at 281! It's soooo worth it trust me! Have a friend close to comfort you or just come on here and post like crazy because u can do this. Get up in the morning, have your Jello and a cup of deca green tea and look in mirror, guess what? YOUR doing this. David

4 days here, but would have went home after 3 if I didn't get a stupid cold and spike a fever

It all depends on how u feel as well. I was there 4 days and wore my own clothes for 2. I enjoyed Havin my own stuff but everyone is different.

Congrats on getting your date! It sounds like you are prepared and ready for the new you! This journey will be so much easier with this group of people I promise you. Since I have been here I have learned so much and learn more every day. You will quickly find a wealth of answers to your EVERY question. Welcome to the family
