Anything from rice can swell in your stomach which is not good. And have you ever read the ingredients on gluten free stuff? It is usually full of sugar and other things that aren't necessarily good for you

I won't miss having only two or three options of stores I can shop in when at the mall When I got my Easter outfit this year, the girl said to enjoy and see ya soon. I politely thought to myself that this will be the last outfit I buy at this store. It was a great feeling. Goodby Lane Bryant

It doesn't say you have to loose anything. Just that you can't gain. Did I read that correctly? I think you're focus should be on that. Just don't gain. You should be ok

Good question

Mine was the same day and I'm having same issues

Maybe you should post this question in the gastric bypass revision forum. There should be more people there that can answer you

So far so good. I'm a little slower than I had hoped. My biggest problem is that one large incision. It is still sore and hurts with every move I make. I haven't slept through the night yet because of it

There is one gastric bypass aka RNY There is one sleeve aka VSG There is one lap band ( however different suppliers of the band)

My surgeon prescribed everything in liquid form. It's been great

5 days out and totally craving Peanut Butter. I've done good and haven't had problems so far. My doc has me on liquids Can we have PB or not

I took some laxatives

Tomorrow is Sleeve Day. I'm so excited and nervous!! Ready to start my new life Just finished all of my preop work up and last visit. The last thing the Do your said to me was that I've made a good decision. The sleeve should be very successful for me That was great to hear. I went home and laid out all my Soups Vitamins and drinks for when I get home from the hospital. Now I'm taking one daughter to spend the week with her dance teacher who is my very close friend. I'm so thankful for close supportive friends My mother in law is coming to the house to stay with my disable daughter while hubby is at work so I have been getting all of that ready as well. I'm also grateful for my family who is being supportive and helping out Needless to say it's been a busy day of preparation here but I'll be glad I did it so I can relax when I get home and recover.

It's been two days and I'm starting to feel better. Keeping up Fluid intake is hard. I haven't even been able to focus on Proteins yet. I'm just barely keeping meds in and getting gas out. I've drank some grape juice and Water but still keeping it at room temp. My husband told me last night that my doctor said I did the right thing by having surgery now. He said my liver had so many fatty deposits on it that I was going to be full blown diabetic within a year. I am doing well now and have been walking a lot. I will be building it all back up til I can Zumba again.

I was going to check in after surgery yesterday but I was hurting way too bad. Here's a rundown from yesterday Surgery was supposed to be at 10 but there were a couple of emergencies so I didn't get into surgery til 2:30. After surgery, Dr Bina called my husband in to a conference room which was odd because apparently everyone else had gotten updates of "surgery went well" out in the hall. So that scared the crap out of him and my mom. Basically, he said that once they got in there, they found out my hiatal hernia was much larger than they had thought. He said it was possibly the worst he'd seen. It had taken a little longer to get done because of that. Other than that, everything went well. After getting to my room for recovery I fell asleep and kept pushing my button for pain meds. I finally got up around ten that might and walked, got rid of some gas. I started feeling much better every time I would walk. I had my leak test this morning and everything looked good so I'll be headed home soon

Thanks. I hope so. I'm excited to start this new lease on life.

Today is the first day of the rest of our new lives! Good luck all! I hope you're all as excited as I am to head out on this crazy journey. See you all later

Thanks for the support and info I have found here I am now 4 1/2 hours away from surgery where I will have hiatal Hernia repair as well as my VSG. Surgery is at 10. I have to be at the hospital by 8. But, first, I have to take a shower then dry off then wipe my entire abdominal area with these anti microbial wipes twice. I have been up since three because I can't sleep and I am so thirsty but no food or drink. I'm gonna be a good girl.

That was harious

I've spent all day getting everyone prepared for me to be out of comission. Now I'm ready to go. Just had a bow of chicken noodle Soup and some Gatorade. I may have a little more Gatorade later but I am totally ready Bring it on. I'm ready for the rest of my life

I'm going in the same day

I had a few moments yesterday where I got nervous but a friend reminded me that I've been researching for a long time and I know what I'm doing. I'll be fine That's just what I needed to hear. Now I'm sup excited

M at a picnic with a mother daughter group in our community. It's a gorgeous day but they're all eating and I'm sitting here sucking down Isopure. Trying so hard not to eat but watching all of them eat is killing me. Surgery is Tuesday and I can't screw this up

After the meeting, we went for a long walk. Now I feel my blood sugar has dropped or something else weird is up. I hope some Gatorade will help

Thanks. Unfortunately this doubles as a meeting so no walking around but all food has been out away and we have progressed to more important portions. I made it no food. Surprisingly the isopure was very filling

I'm doing all Protein liquids and 100 ozs of wAter Trying so hard. I have to go to a picnic tomorrow. That's gonna be hard I'm so excited and yet so nervous at the same time.
