Was telling my husband last night how much I really hated the liquid portion of this diet. I just want some texture! But I was a good girl and I still put my cream soup in the blender to knock out any unwanted chunks. Welp, this morning as I'm getting ready for work I pull my scrubs put of the dryer and throw them on. OMG! They are fitting comfortably!! I don't have to tug at the fabric to loosen my tight spots I don't have to bend to stretch out my top to make sure it's fitting right! It's hanging comfortably on me! And I feel great in them! I am 6 days post op and I'm already down 22 lbs! Who knew this feeling would be so awesome?!

I don't have a scale ether, but when I drop my son off to my parents before school in the mornings I sneak in the bathroom and peek at the scale! I know a lot of people have been saying not to check ever day, so I've only done it once a week! You will be so surprised and happy with yourself when you finally get the chance to look! ????????

Thank you! Thank you!

I used smooth moth organic tea. It really helped I drink a cup ether very early in the morning or in the evening after I have settled in for the night. It works great! And you can get it at just about any grocery store!

Is it safe to take Tylenol in pill form? Is there a specific type?

I find that broth doesn't work for me. Protein shakes, fruit smoothie, yogurt, and soups in the blender. That's what gives me the fuller feeling. I am still learning to slow down as I eat and kicking myself when I start feeling the need to hiccup or burp because I ate too much too fast. It's not easy! It's like I was telling my husband last night, it's not that I'm starving it's that I want texture and substance.

Thank you!! I know it's such a minor detail and such a long road ahead, but something so simple can be such a huge pick me up!!

They suggested a liquid stool softener if the pain meds backed you up.

One is a liquid pain medicine. And the other is a tablet of nausea medicine. I think the tablet is the worst because you have to chew it up and the taste is so bitter. And anything that comes in the red cough syrup bottles from the pharmacy is not pleasant ether. Getting them down is the hardest part for me, but they work quickly and really help me feel more comfortable. And don't forget the walking!!! Every time I get pressure in my chest or shoulder from the extra air in me, I get up and walk laps around the house and the pressure calms down.

Thank you! Thank you! The hubby is on Mr. Mom duty until I'm back to myself again, I was able to walk quite a bit yesterday! I'm a little more sore this morning so I'm hoping I will be able to accomplish the same throughout the day. The meds are the worst part! Yuck!
