Yah found out today I'm dehydrated. Need more liquids even though all I have are liquids.Try caring a big water bottle around with u at all times. This is how I remember to drink plenty of water.

Yea I had bruising and still do all over specially the bigger incision. Try and relax. Hopefully it goes away if not phone DR right away.

When do you guys start having purée foods. I am finally able to come Monday and I'm excited lol

Hope everything works out. Keep us posted. And remember take it one step at a time. After a few days you will start feeling so much better.

I had mines already February 1st. And had to do two weeks prior to surgery just liquids and proteins.

I did the GNC 25 lean. It taste alright and is cheaper than most versions.

Hi I would like to join. Anams820@gmail.com

I did. I was in the hospital 4 days because of nausea vomit and couldn't keep anything down. But it gets easier. Take it one step at a time. There is light at the end of the tunnel. ☺️

I was having the same problem. I spoke to the dr and he said it was fine for me to replace Breakfast with a Protein shake and do another after lunch so getting 60 grams a day from the shakes.Ok thanks. I will try that.

I'm so tired of chicken broth :-/. Any suggestions on something tasty?

I Only get 1 down. 1/2 on the morning and 1/2 at dinner and i add ice to it and put it in the ninja... takes away the extra sweet taste and thins it out so it goes down better. This morning I added 1/3 of a banana... I am horribly potassium deficient and the pills are killing me with this new tummy because they are so big. I cut them in 1/2 and they are still challenging. Do you not crush your pills? That's what my doctor told me to do is better than swallowing. I'm glad I'm not the only one that is only drinking one a day lol.I'm not supposed to crush the potassium ... not sure why. I take room other pills and they are capsules so they go down easy. I take a blood pressure pill and it can be broken but not crushed or chewed.Ooo ok. Well I'm sure things will get easier. ☺️

How much protein shakes are ya getting in. I can only do 1 a day so far.

So I had my surgery February 1st. First day or two. I was miserable totally regretting it all because I couldn't drink water like I wanted too lol. I have been high and low some times I'm happy others I just want to cry. Has anyone experienced this. I feel so alone.

You can do it. ☺️. Baby steps but you will get there.

First time I walked more than 4K and man I'm exhausted and my stitches hurt.

Haha no. But since I have only been walking 1k for this week I figured I would try a Little harder. But my body said no lol. Lesson learned

I have the same problem. Took me almost 3 hours to drink one protein shake. Any advice ? Water I can drink just fine.

Thank you guys. Yes I called the doctor and she said is probably dehydration and low potassium. So I'm drinking tons more water and Gatorade and hopefully with that it subsides. Thanks for the advice.

Good luck to all those surgeries coming up.

Way to go

Anytime ☺️

Well If I'm honest. My experience wasn't that great first few days. But now is so much better. And I can definitely tell you it is worth it. All you need is patience. If you ever want to talk I'm here. ☺️

Hi I'm Ana. Had my surgery the 1st of February. SW was 238 CW 219. Have lost close to 20lbs but this is with the pre-op diet also. GW 140lbs

Of course you're not alone--not with all of us rooting for you! I have always been an advocate of a good cry. I think it is good for body and soul. We cry at weddings, when a baby is born, when our children graduate and of course at times when we are in pain--mentally or physically. I believe that crying cleanses the body and the spirit. My grandmother used to say that her eyes were "leaking". Go ahead and give it all you got, girlfriend. I bet you'll feel better. Feel better and let us know how you're doing! Thank you. ☺️
