Surgery: 9/14 I'm doing ok but wish I was doing better. The weightloss is fine, I'm down 25 lbs in total (before and after surgery) I think 15 lbs since surgery. I can't seem to go number 2 unless I take milk of magnesia. They gave me colase but it doesn't do anything. I can't get in enough Water and I really try but unless all I do is sip water when I'm not eating I don't know how to do it. I can't get in enough Protein because I really really don't want to have shakes. I had to stop taking the Multivitamin i ordered for after surgery because it made me nearly vomit. Other than that I'm doing ok with food and on and off with energy.

I wish I could stop taking the iron, i worry that's what makes me nauseated.

The only thing that is working for me is milk of magnesia but I HATE taking it. blech. I need to find something else.

The thing is I love water, I put a bit of lemon in it, I just can't seem to drink enough. how do you sip all day long and get as much water as they say? I just don't get it.

I could be better but could be worse. My 1st week was seriously ROUGH, it was not easy for me at all.

I'm going in 9/14 and would love a buddy, preferably on social media like FB, twitter, instagram or twitter. I'm 37 with about 100 lbs to lose and 5"0. I'm married, living in Central, MA with 3 cats, no kids. twitter: hismuse instagram: _hismuse Let me know, it would make me feel much more at ease and I'm good at replying.

I'm actually drinking the apple isopure drink right now, though I don't love them, they are not refreshing somehow and all I want is refreshing drinks.

I miss cereal so much, especially Raisin Nut Flakes, but I know that there is no way I could handle it yet. I worry to have it though because it was a problem food for me. I might have to, in the future, have my husband hide it from me and allow me a small amount once and a while.

I use a small bubba, 12 oz, that I have with me at all times. I needed something that keeps it really cold and this works.

I had a really hard time getting much down for a few days and did mostly popsicles, they saved me. I can't do water so I do isopure zero. Ooh and I was 9/14. Ooh and I was 9/14.

The only protein powders I can stand are from Unjury and lately I'm only using classic chocolate and unflavored.

I feel like I have hunger pains too, it's strange. I mean I know I can't eat anything other than on my list, physically. I don't know if it's something that just feels like that.

I was, the 14th, there were a few REALLY rough days including a head cold but day 7 i feel much better.

@@Shotochick ooooh you are from England? I'm SUCH an anglophile, I watch so many British shows.

@@longjohs I'm Monday too!

We have the same surgery date. How are you doing on your pre op diet? I don't start mine until Saturday, which I know is vastly different than most people. Otherwise I'm doing ok, lost 11 lbs so far in this journey.

Does Cambridge count? I'm going to Mount Auburn Cemetery on 9/14.

why are you having trouble taking your daily pills?

I'm also 9/14. All of a sudden the days are flying by and it will be here before we know it I'm so freaked out, feel so unprepared.

4 days behind you Hey! Here we go!

I'm 9/14, right around the corner. So most of you have to start the pre-op diet a week before or something? I'm supposed to do mine 2 days before.

9/14, totally nervous and looking for buddies.

I'm going in 9/14 and looking for a buddy too. Preferably on a social network like twitter, instagram or even snapchat.
