I have drank lemon water for years but be careful as it is a diuretic

I LOVE the chocolate Premier Shakes, ready to drink, available at Costco, Sams Club and some Walmarts. They also have the powder which I am going to pick up tomorrow.

what do you mean you "don't get on with it"? If it is the mask, it takes a while to find the right one

correct. I use mine every night

They told me to bring my mask and didnt use it either but it would not have worked with the cannula anyway...

I dont see edit, so I should say, my unit and my supplier can read it....

My unit has a modum and they can read it, the company you got it from, from their computer.....Apria, blah blah home health etc, and report to your doctor

For now, since time is wasting, I decided to go with the online place I have bought vitamins prior to surgery, Puritans Pride. I got chewable prenatal multi, chewable calcium, I have vit D, as I have to take that before and will start with all this and see how it goes.

sex begins in the brain and if I feel good about myself....shazaammm!

ask your doctor

none for me yet, too busy getting protein and water in

My experience with yo yo dieting in past years is that when I am not fat........my man is very happy with the libido!!

My husband would never do that!!! I had surgery the same day as you and I am not even on soup yet. Let us know how that chowder sat with you

Mine said it was ok to put them in shakes!! LOL. Isn't that funny???

No it isn't water retention. I asked the nurse practitioner and here is what she said. "It is VERY normal, some people are swollen for weeks. You have to remember that even though you will heal on the outside in about 2 weeks, it will take about three months to completely heal on the inside. Also remember you had MAJOR surgery and you can expect to be sore and swollen".

Post op day 5. I stayed in the hospital two days and then in a hotel in the city. In the event of any problems, I did nnot want to deal with our small hospital. I am doing good but am still swollen and bloated. Tummy volcano is not so bad but still feel the bloat. I had lost 13 lbs on the pre op diet and was surprised to get home and fine my post op wt was UP. It must be all the fluid etc. In the hospital I only ate my protein stuff they gave me in an envelope and sipped water, mostly sucked ice. At the hotel, the first day I could only get one shake down, yesterday I got two and today the required 3. I find sucking on ice is good for me, but I have sipped some water today. I don't see my doctor again until March 11.

My belly still feels so bloated and heavy, I feel like I am carrying a huge baby. Whats up with that??? day 6 ending

How did you get your broth down?? I meant protein...............

How did you get your broth down??

I had to stay in hospital an extra day, I am still at a hotel in the city

Good luck to you, I know how you feel my surgery is tomorrow. I'm pretty sure sleep is out for me tonight! Lol. Good luck on your journey! :-) and certainly to you as well

One more normal day for me, then I pack up and head to the city where I will spend the afternoon and night at the hotel doing by bowel prep. The two week 800-1000 cal pre op diet has not been bad. I have two Premier Chocolate shakes a day and one meal. Monday, sort things , pack up according to my lists, Tuesday, head to city, clear liquids and bowel prep, Wed morning, SURGERY.... I can't believe it

capellaflavordrops.com has a wonderful selection of flavor drops. I ordered several to include chocolate almond...we learned about this site yesterday in class. Ck it out. Prices and shipping are very reasonable.

I LOVE the Premier Protein shakes. I use some crushed ice and pour it into my Magic Bullet and it makes a wonderful icey shake

I had my last Bariatric class yesterday with the RN and she told us this could and probably would happen
