Well I found where my hubby hid the scale. Yes I weighed I was 219 day of surgery 2/9. Today I was 213.8. I'm not going to weigh myself again till Thursday.

Stop weighing yourself until you have met your fluid and protien goals for 3 days. No goals met, no scale. Your body needs what you are not giving it. You have to set your mind to it and figure out how to do it. Failure is not except able. You've got to do this. You can do this. We're cheering you on

Try a sugar free popsicle. That has helped with my head hunger so far. Sleeved 2/9

3 more days till weigh in day. I can do this. Lol

Good morning from the loser's bench. Today is the 3rd post-op day for me. First day I bombed at getting the minimum amount of fluids and protien (33oz fluid and 11 oz protien). Yesterday I reached my goals.

You'll do great. Welcome to the losers bench.

I highly suggest you leave the beer alone. I could go on about didn't you think of all this BEFORE surgery? But you're past that. I had my ah-ha moment before surgery. That's why I had it. I just had my surgery on 2/9. You sound like you are your worse enemy. I hope you can find what you're looking for. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Are you getting your protien Fluid in? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

The nurse gave me a stack of them. I was just going to use a shot glass. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Not a single regret so far. No buyers remorse either. I have discovered I don't want to watch food commercials. I flip the channel. Lol. I'm worried they'll make me hungry. I'm taking my pain and anti nausea meds. So I'm not experiencing either one of those. I just sipped 4oz of protein shake. I think I've discovered what feeling full feels like. Lol My tummy is really tender and I'm tired. But other than that not so bad. No gas pains for me so far. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Wow, your psychologist gave you a goal weight? The only goal weight I had was from my Surgeon. I'm with Fresno Ksiser. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I took and am taking my pain meds. I'm a real wimp. If I can avoid pain I do. So I'm a real wimp. I had my surgery 2/9. I took pain medication regularly while in hospital. So I wasn't in pain. But my tummy was and is tender. I was released from hospital yesterday. The nurse recommend having some pain med before leaving. Which I did. I tried not taking any after that. I'm worried about constipation. Was released from hospital around 11:00 by 6 pm I had to take pain med. So my plan is to continue to take it today and try not to take it tomorrow. I was also on anti nausea meds while in hospital and I didn't experience any nausea. If you can tolerate medication I would highly recommend it. Why suffer if you don't have too.

How are you doing? I had my surgery on the 9th. This is my first day back on the forum. We're on the loser's bench Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

It will be here before you know it. You're ready. You got this. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I'm interested in this too. I have one on each shoulder. One on each shoulder blade. A large one on my left leg. I've been holding off on getting my next one until I enter maintenance phase. I'm planning on getting a peacock on right calve. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I think my nausea so far has been because of pain medication. Only time I get nauseated is right after taking it. I also told my surgeon that I was prone to nausea from anesthesia. They gave me anti nausea meds during surgery and while I was in hospital. My surgeon prescribed me anti nausea med. That is what I am taking. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Good luck to you too. Mines at 11:15

Looks good for me now. Thanks

Me too. It's so irritating. Hope they get it fixed soon Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

For my 2 weeks post-op. My goal is one premier protien shake and two 16.9oz water bottles. Surgeon's orders. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Me too. Only one more day. Drink lots of no calorie, no carbonation and no caffeine drinks. I drink right around 100oz a day. You will spend lots of time in the bathroom. This really helped me with hunger issues. Protien, protien and eat more protien. Before pre-op diet I had premier Protein shake for Breakfast. Protien lunch and protein and veggies dinner. Eat BREAKFAST. This was a biggie for me. When I discovered shakes I was so happy. I use a small amount of a protien shake for creamer in my coffee. Pratice eating small bites and chewing lots. No Fluid drinking with food. Wait 30 minutes to drink after eating This one was a little tough for me. I wasn't perfect but I did make a concious effort to Pratice for post-op. I hope it pays off.

I'm with Kaiser also and they told me to have broth around the 2nd day of post op and I can have soup as well just watered down. Maybe some Kaiser's are different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Wow, it's funny how each surgeon is different. I'm with the Fresno Kaiser. Where is yours? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App
