So glad u r thru it all and did so well. Yay! Now it alllll befins ????

If u drink more than you should, you will most likely throw up. Which is not fun. If theybsee it occur, they will understand more Im sure. Like the others, due to just having had surgery, walking is all that is recommended at this stage. Your body needs rest to recover. And as you will not be consuming many calories you will tire easily. Take care of yourself. Worry about the others later. ????

Im headg to Orlando in July and praying I will be down enough in size to do all of your check off liat. I want to be able to ride so very much. Super happy for you!!!!

Ok. I am telling this (dreaded) week number three stall that it is officially OVER. Today is day 1 of week four. You are no longer welcome. Thank you.

I finally hit the two week mark and got to eat soup! I chose tomato and roasted red pepper creamy soup. It was like HEAVEN on earth good!!!

O havent ventured out from the tomato one I mentioned until yesterday. I did do cream of broccoli. It was delish. Ive been eating soup broth from a chinese restaurant and giving the food parts of it to my family lol. That way i get the flavors. Its yummo!

I am just ending week 3. No complications. I can tell when I dont get in enough fluids and protein because I get tired easily. I lost 28 so far. Week 3 for many there us a stall. And of course i hit that this week. But i expected it so its not a biggie. I know so long as I stick to plan and measure what i am eating, it will start to come off again.

You look amazing! Even your skin tone has changed. Just think... you have changed every cell in your body by your hard work! Keep it up!!! You GOT THIS!

Amazingly well done!!! Cant wait to be there too!!!

The hospital.will provide ur drinks and such once u r there and doc has approved u to have liquids. Plus u will have an IV of fluids. At home i would keep the clear liquids ur doc approves. They will give u a list.

Well. I officially hit the dreaded three week stall. Glad i knew it might happen. Not an issue. Im still down 28 lbs so woo hoo!!$

I was only given ice chips on day of surgery and didnt even think to ask if i could have more. Lol And didnt know about using gas strips til after i was home. I was kinda out of it i guess. I stopped pain meds day after surgery. They were giving me major headaches. The walking took care of the gas more or less. Just had a passing pang of pain when the gas moved. I would just change how i was sitting and it would go away. Or i would walk again haha

Im not a May sleever, but wanted to say you look fantastic and you have done an amazing job!!!

I was comfortably mobile in a weeks time. And by 2 weeks back to work. Tired those 2 weeks tho. This is week 3 and im much improved energywise.

HA! U r up quickly walking. They like us to start walking within 2hours after being moves from recovery. The pain for me was minimal. The air left over from surgery was closer to painful. And walking makes it go away so as soon as I could hold my head up, i asked if i could walk, and where are the ice chips lol. Bring your chapstick! Your lips will be dry. And i walkes w my ice chip cup everywhere i went. :-) Walk. Sleep. Walk. Sleep. Home. Walk. Sleep. That will be for a few days. Your first shower will feel so good.

Oh yay! First bit of good news hun!

Ohh. Yeah. They knock u out so u wont feel it being put in. And u r loopy coming out of anesthesia when it comes out. No biggie

Gall bladder is painfullll too. And i do recall being nauceous and not wanting to eat. Have your doc order a sonogram of it. Once its out, it is suchhhh a relief.

Try to figure out what it is triggering your nausea as u eat. Is it texture, smell, firmness of the food? Try standing up, take a tiny bite. Walk away. Get your mind on another task. Dont bend over. No drink. Make sure you do not lie down soon afterwards. Go get another tiny bite if it holds. Put your hands above your head as you swallow. It may look goofy, and if your kids are there just shout hooray for mommy to make it not so strange to them. ???? Make a game out of it.

Robe, phone. Clothes to go home in. Toothpaste/brush. Slippers. Deoderant. Travel size shower items if u plan to take a shower there. Bare essentials. U will b sleeping and walking the rest of the time there.

@@AquariusDiva. I am CRACKING up re: your neighbor. Lol

Good luck and speedy recovery!

A robe is a good thing to have, but not necessary. Can always wear a 2nd gown backwards. For home, buy plenty of fluids on ur plan for when u get back. U cant drive for several days so make sure u r stocked up.

I was back at work in 2 weeks. I work in an office too. I teied going back earlier but I was wayyy too tired. Had a coworker who went back in about 5 days post surgery. Everyone is different.

What eating stage are you at? Clear liquids, full liquids, puree, or regular foods?
