This is scary... And with all the threads on this topic I wonder how this happens? Best of luck! Sending you lots of hugs and prayers

I love wine... I hope I can enjoy a glass eventually:)

This is the best time for you relax and get your healing on. As a mother of a 2 yr old I was sad but grateful I had my parents to take her for some time and my hubby worked. I was so lonely but I got to do things at my pace. Wishing you a fast recovery and all the comfort in the world. Congrats to you and the hubby!

Thank you:)

I've had a splitting headache, dizzy, peeing once a day, fatigue, and thirst. I seen surgeon Thursday and he said because of weather I needed to drink more Water. Nothing better called him about 10 min ago and he sends me to ER for dehydration. Hope this makes me feel better. Surgery 7/25/12

Thanks everyone... Just got home they kept me to make sure they released me feeling better. I felt horrible thurs but when I seen my surgeon all he said was drink.more Water. That's all I've been drinking. So I'm on power aid zero I'm feeling better my headache finally went away. Wish I went sooner. Thanks again everyone

Thanks guys! So after bag I was able to pee and the results were sever dehydration so I got one more bag in the works now. Still feel weak but hoping this gets me back on track.

I am seriously in mourning! I have one more week of this soft food stuff and I want food food.... I drive and we billboards with fast food places... I want it! Everything I see I want. I think and drink my water and move on. I get on this site, Facebook, or pintrest! Anything to get my focus off of food. I feel weak right now (not fizzled but not strong). I had hoped I wouldn't feel hunger but I feel HUNGRY all of the time! Help!

I told my parents and sibilings and my grandfather (we are super close) what I was doing and close friends 2 weeks before. I made the decision not to tell my extended family because they are very judgemental and not supportive. My husband and parents and grandpa kept their promise and didn't say a word. I'm 3 weeks post op and I just told my extended family and the first comments out of their mouths were "you didn't need to do that. Just exercise!" And "next your going to do your boobs" very calming I replied I did NEED this in January I.was 11lbs from 400 POUNDS! And if I want boobs its my body I have to like what I see in the mirror. In the end everyone seen my point. But I waited because I didn't want their negativity with me during surgery.

I left a 2litter semi open (not tightly closed) there was not even a cup amount in the bottle and the next day there was still bubbles! I took off the top and by the evening it was gone! *tear.... My hubby had thrown it away because it was flat. That was clue this was not a good idea. Bad habbit & I shouldn't make exceptions.

I stopped drinking soda in January for all my post op stuff, and was over it pretty fast. But now that I'm on the other side and can't have it at all I'm going nuts! I want a big cup of ice cold diet coke. My hubs has been amazing not drinking around me but now I miss it! Trying to focus but I want one!

Ok so I'm supposed to get at least 60 grams of protein a day. Like most, I'm sick of them *just bored with them, not physically. But all the pre ops stuff all I remember was them pushing shakes! The food options I have are pretty high in protein. Question, if what I eat during the day gets me close to or at 60 does that mean I don't a shake? Or is it eat what's on my list and get 60gms from shake?

You need personal counseling. Go by yourself, get tools to work on you... Not saying there is anything wrong! But you need someone on your side routing for you! And any good couples counselor would see past his games during session, and work on the real stuff. Be strong know what you want and go for it! Maybe this is a good time to reconcile with mom & family? Sending hugs

3 weeks today and I've been stuck at 25 pounds for 4 days kinda freaking out too :-/

I had the same experience, I had to pay surgeon up front... Ok I was told 6 weeks ahead felt I could work with that. THE DAY BEFORE my scheduled surgery I go to register at the hospital and I have to pay upfront my part of the 3 day stay 1,900. I seriously broke down in tears. Why didn't I get a letter? Well my surgeon.staff tells everyone you can make payments to hospital whatever your portion is. I have a funky insurance so mine was high. But I had no choice. I was sad then paid and it turn to furious!....I feel your pain.

I got a cherry flavor it was salty and sour and tasted more like a jolly rancher in liquid form. Hated it! It will kick in soon enough! Best of luck tomorrow!

I'm so sorry! I'm 3 weeks Wednesday and I'm feeling like crap lately too. Which is weird because I had been feeling so good. I can only drink water food and protein shakes gross me out. Best of luck!!

Where can I find unflavored powder? Brand? I can't find it Thanks

I don't how but for a moment I forgot and drank from a straw *starbucks Passion tea* and as I stopped myself I felt dumb for forgetting. Lol but nothing happened...

I'm 3 weeks on Wed. Last week we went to baskin ribbons as a treat for my visiting family. I ate the kids size frozen yogurt but no dumping or throwing up. Kinda wish I had but my mom who is 2 years post op never has dumped or vomited....

I can NOT wait! I thought about yesterday as I got out of the shower.... Thinking that would be an awesome milestone for me! Congrats on yours! That's awesome! My moment was Friday night *and I'm going to be 3 weeks post op Wed. I put a dress on that I wore 3 years ago it felt great. My hubby said I better wear it before I swim in it;) felt great

Yes, figure out your priorities. Mentioning your reasons are because of surgery is probably out of fear and manipulation. Hang in there & be strong! Best wishes!

Hang in there!

That is amazing! To feel and see the changes!
