My vision is blurry today. Glad to hear this is all normal stuff. Ill increase my liquids and keep going with protein.

I called my doctor today because my incisions were exactly as you described. I don't alway look at them and even though I jus saw my surgeon yesterday. I kinda freaked when I saw the red ring around the 2 to the left almost like an allergic rash with 2 bumps off to the said. He said he just saw me yesterday y and they were fine. He suggested using peroxide and neosporine and a bandaid and to see him Monday if I was still concerned.

When I click add to diary it has sections for meals, exercise, water and notes Thanks nicci. I found it this morning. I needed to scroll up it under exercise. Thank you.

Thank you! I can't find where to log water... I listed it as a snack. But I'd prefer a visual check off. Thanks for your help jajmj

I used lose it for years. Every time I pull up the app it has all my old info. I'd love a fresh start. I did just download and start my fitness pal. It's very similar to lose it. I'd volunteer to get a FB page started if the majority want to give it a try. I don't want to step on any toes - Lylabelle been doing a great job of keeping this going I'm just bored. I can wait I think it easier to share photos and inspirational materials, educational links....

Try not to be jealous we all have the tool to lose most of our excess weight and look amazing in time. We will all get there in our time. This is the last place numbers should matter. Thanks for all the info, I'm falling short on fluids and know the importance will help me make them important. Anyone else having back pain when they sleep? So over Jello and broth too. Count me in if we make a Facebook page- it might be easier to follow. And keep track of posts... Post op appointment in the am. What a week! Have a good night everyone. Anyone using an app to track their intake? Suggestions?

That was a thread on here too! So true! Make me giggle.

I missed the move to the week 2 page. I love all the support but sometimes also feel like I'm doing something wrong. My doctor has me on clear liquid diet for the first week it does not include any protein. I'm really trying to make an effort with my liquids but I fall short every day. My doctor said I'd be out of work for at least 2 weeks but has me going back on 5/19. I work with small children my feet all day bedding over so I'm not challenging the date. I have enough paid sick time. I think I'm finally off the pain meds. Thanks for explaining why our liquid sounds the way it does when we drink. I have my post op visit Friday where I can get more of my questions answered. Have a good evening all

Sitting up with out crazy pain. Went for some short drives. Order some protein powder for the next phase of my eating starting Friday. I hope everyone is making positive steps forward.

Try putting a pillow under your butt or prop your knees up a little when you sleep it will flatten your spine. Maybe help the tail none. My doctor wouldn't give me a refill on my pain medication but said I could take liquid Tylenol or liquid acetaminophen I was only able to find a store brand. Do they have that in Germany? Hope tomorrow is a better day. I'd be way crankier with no pain meds but try I go easy on your boyfriend. Hang in there!

I didn't get any directions with my little breathe toy. I tried once in the hospital and didn't even take it home with me. I did get a little worried when I felt some junk in my lungs but 2 coughs and all good. My RNs just slacked on the breather. I'm on clear liquid no protein for 1 week. I surprised at how many can have a shake or yogurt... Still waking up with some pain. Glad swallowing Liquids is just uncomfortable and not really painful anymore. I'm running out of liquid pain meds. 1 dose left. It was nice to walk my daughter to school today. I don't know how I'd go back to work in a week. Hope everyone is doing well. Looking forward to stage 2 after my post op appointment on Friday. This could possibly be the longest week ever .

That's disgusting! I don like to keep secrets or lie. But its really not anyone else's business. And if they react that way.... It just goes to show what kind of person they are. So sad. I'm proud of myself losing weight with or without the help of bariatric surgery. It's certainly not easy. Thanks for sharing your experience. I certainly will limit the amount of people I tell.

Feeling better this morning. Is anyone else dreaming about eating solid food? I do almost every time I fall asleep.

3rd day post op. still lots of pain and discomfort I don't seem to be feeling better as days go on. Not sure if the pain is from the belly or gas. I have some pain in my lower left back. I will be on clear liquids until Friday. Will try the gas x strip and see if that helps. Hang in there everyone!

Home sweet home. But lots of pain when trying to drink. Tired. Hope I can stay hydrated. Hope everyone is doing well.

Post op. painful day mostly gas. Tired from pain meds. 2 walks. Didn't drink much dinner NOT hungry. All is well. Best of luck 30s We did did it!!

I'm so sorry to hear that. How frustrating. Stay strong. It's not that far off but very disappointing to say the least.

7am arrival. 9am EST. for me. Wow- tomorrow is a new beginning. Hope I fall asleep quickly. Goodnight. Hope everyone doing well. All the best to our 29ers!!!!

Omg. I guess this is how some people really feel but Wow! The post is all about her. Her issues are not your issues. I don't believe it's healthy to be morbidly obese. So what if you want to be thin? Is that so wrong? I'm assuming this person is young and has few life experiences. We all battle with weight and body issues. Reality it is Not healthy to be overweight. She has way more issues. I lost a friend when I wanted to go into plus size modeling. She rambled garbage about society and women's bodies. Real friends support each other.

OMG it's Tomorrow. Not sure what to pack for My hospital overnight. I really hope I'm not very late in the day. That might make me a little crazy.

Congrats 27's! Good Luck 28's! Wishing everyone well. Im on the 29th trying to get well from this cold ASAP Anyone else having nightmares? 2 more day... Can't wait! Sandi

I'm (NJ) a jersey girl- not (CO) just thought I'd mention it. Other side of the country. Enjoy your Memorial Day everyone.

I try not to think about it. I had the gastric band out in at removed after the port flipped sideways and they could not longer access it. The surgery itself isn't so scary. I trust my surgeon. The whole idea of staples and a stomach that has to heal and can't leak is what worries me. I can work through the pain- that is temporary. Love to keep in touch an see how everyone's makes out. I want to take before pics and a few measurements as well.

Hi. Im sandi. Very excited. My surgery date is May 29th, New Jersey. I came down with a cold yesterday, I hope it will not postpone anything. Taking good care of myself before hand. No pre op liquids required by my doctor but I think I will anyway at least 3 days. Good luck to everyone.
