  1. Are you still taking pain meds? Make sure you walk as you sip - that helps it move through. I had to go upstairs to the bathroom (alot) and i think that helped me. Presurgery i had been going to the gym and i think that made a difference too. I woke up feeling almost normal today but my mantra has been sip sip sip walk walk walk.

    I don't think i had frothing but i can definately tell that liquids are going down easier. I got in close to 64oz yesterday plus broth and sf popsicles.

    Well if you are sitting by the pool I am officially jealous! Spring is taking way too long to come to us this year.

    I surprised myself today feeling good enough to strip the bed and wash bedding. It was raining so tomorrow I'll hang sheets on the line. Small chores and resting in between. Funny thing is i feel more like doing stuff than i have in months.

    Oh turkey chili sounds so good right now lol.
  6. 100oz is crazy girl! You must've been peeing all day lol! It won't stretch out unless you're doing that every day but this early you could hurt yourself. Small sips. Crazy how you read this stuff for months but don't really understand till you're feeling it.
  7. Marijuana isn't addictive IMHO. Never seen anyone go through detox on it. Same category as alcohol but even less danger. Nobody ever beat their family on pot. Never seen a bunch of stoners in a bar brawl. However even medically it's used to induce increased appetite. If i hadn't quit (other than the rare once every couple years) I would probably steer clear on that aspect. So forego that weekly joint, you heathen pothead lolol!
  8. I'm doing well with water, getting near 64oz today. Plus sugar free Popsicles and 2oz broth "meals". Slept better last night and no pain meds today but feeling more tired. Raining today though so all former broken bones ache.
  9. I'm not even allowed my multivitamin until i go back on Tues. I'm to be completely focused on hydration. I've lost surgical fluids and on my way down!
  10. Great job guys! I'm seeing more and more liquid in each day. Get really tired really fast though. Butterfly awesome you are SO excited but inside voice please! (Teasing) Take off the caps!

    Getting more liquids in each day.
  15. Little at a time. I'm already doing more than yesterday.
  16. I'm doing water flavored with Mio or Crystal Light, sf popsicles and chicken broth. Gurgling but getting it all in!

    http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=210 Syntrax Nectar are good too. How about freezing them into protein Popsicles if you're really struggling to get proteins in.
  19. Doing okay with water, water with mio, sugar free Popsicles. Just had two oz broth and doing okay. Headache comes and goes, just keep sipping fluids. I know next week will be better.

    Only one night in hospital and last night at home was rough. Walking and sipping. Hate the gurgling. Trying to focus on the road ahead versus what did i do to myself. Thanks to you guys i know it gets better.

    Home now. Napping walking and sipping. Weird feeling like i should eat but I'm not hungry. Gas pains not pleasant, miss my IV Dilaudid. I couldn't use my phone either lol.
  22. I'm sitting in hospital holding area. Ready to go!
  23. Deep breath. Time to pack. Don't have to be there till 10am and don't expect to sleep much. Our lives are so centered around food - family, social, comfort, TV. Time to change that. Planted three rose bushes and an azalea bush today. Here's hoping we all thrive and grow together as symbols of my new life.
