    June 15th, anyone?

    I was throwing up Monday night(day of surgery) and Tuesday night. They finally found some meds that worked. Mine was basically from my allergies. My nose was draining into my belly make me sick. Today was better. No throwing up and they made me eat some pudding before I left the hospital. I ate a little with no problem and got to come home. I am having trouble drinking water because of all the drainage so I am drinking some punch to cover the Taste of the drainage. My right side is very sore, left side not at all. I hope that today is a step in the right direction and it keeps getting better everyday!!

    Surgery on June 15, In Missouri.

    I had two bad nights (mon and Tuesday) of puking all night long. Then sleeping all day all. I think that that is better now. My right side is really sore. I haven't done a lot of walking, but some. Still burping like crazy, which might have something to do with me feeling sick. I am so hoping tomorrow is a better day. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
  5. I am excited and nervous, but I am ready to get this started. I went to informational meeting on Jan 8, 2015. Started nutrition classes in Feb, had to go once a month for 4 months for insurance to cover the operation, had my pre-op appt on the 3 of June along with EKG, blood work and chest X Ray. I am on my pre-op diet now and doing good. I got to different kinds of protein shakes, tried chocolate (which is not my favor flavor) put ice in it and didn't do so well. So I tried vanilla last night and it made me physically sick. This morning tried the chocolate again, but put it in the freezer for a bit and did good. Going to Vitamin shoppe today to try and get some other flavors. If any of you are the same day, I would like to keep in touch with you so we can walk through this together!!!

    Not losing enough on pre-op diet

    I have been on pre-op diet since June 2. I lost about 2lbs a day the first couple of days now I am about a lb every day. The nurse said your body kinda goes into starvation mode and could stop at any time. They said that it is just your body adjusting. No worries you will get there:)

    June Sleevers!

    I am on June 15, excited and I am on day 6 of my restricted diet. Now bad so far. Glad I can still eat raw carrots, gives me something to crunch! I go on liquids only the day before, but doesn't have to be clear. I have lost 23 lbs through my 3 month diet and up till now. I have told my parents who were not happy, I have posted it on my Facebook page and have told the four families that I watch their kiddos. I didn't tell my in-laws, but my hubby did. I DONT LIKE THEM AND THEY STRESS ME OUR. So I have not even been around them since starting my journey in January. I am trying to enjoy the transformation and not hear any negative comments from people who are suppose to be supporting me through this journey. I wish you good luck and see you on the losers bench!!!

  24. I have my surgery on June 15-I start a restricted diet today. I am excited but nervous. I can eat up until the day before surgery. The protein shakes I bought don't taste very good and the full me up to where I don't want to eat. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone else have a date close to mine?
