I'm glad to hear that. Let us know what happens, we're rooting for ya hon. Hang in there. 😉

I'll bring some too and we'll just nibble! 😊

Bahahahahajajajajaja!!! Girl I just BUSTED OUT LAUGHING about the lick a phone thing!!!! That's just so funny!!!!😆😂😅🤣😃

Not a dumb question at all. Sometimes getting the body moving will perk up the immune system. 😊

So it's not just me then!? I do feel much better...must be part of the journey. Here's to us feeling a bit better and alert!!!

Thank you Sweet!

So, I went to the store for my hubs and got some more thin set for him to finish the backsplash. He was almost done with it when he realized that it wasn't thin set, but grout. He wasn't too happy but I couldn't help I laugh. I apologized to him while laughing. He even wanted to start laughing. He says he forgives me. Lol So I take back the grout I bought to grout, since we'll use what he was using and got thin set this evening. When I hopped out of the truck I looked down and I had my house slippers on!!!!! Lol oh my goodness, I felt to silly. I felt like I'm a little today and oh so very tired. My husband looked at me like "what's wrong with you"...I was staring off in space. Anybody else feel off? I had enough sleep last night. Food and drinks are good, although I'm drinking more water to make sure.

No I don't but I wouldn't be surprised s I do love them. I am half Caucasian and half black. But here's the kicker....I swear I've got some Caribbean blood somewhere. Hey, I was even jamming out to some reggae in the truck today. Lol. I also used to do Latin dancing. Took lessons for a few years before meeting my husband. I'm not bragging, but I was really really good. I had many people asking if I were a professional Latin dancer (I dance with my Puerto Rican guy friend at the time). Kept my weight in check then doing all that dancing. Heres another interesting fact, my brother sent his blood off for an analysis of race. We really are 62% Caucasian, 28% African American, and the rest European, etc. I'm sure that etc. is my Latin blood. 😂

Good for you. I got rid of clothes like 3 months before surgery and then I regretted it, cause I was limited and I didn't want to buy anymore. Lol. I think I was just super motivated at that time. I won't be wearing my jeans (20) anymore. So I've been wearing jeggings and workout pants these days. Thankfully I don't have to dress up for work either, they allow me to wear whatever besides pj's...which I would NEVER do anyway. I don't like hanging on to anything, but I do have one pair of size 10 pants from 9 years ago.

It is. I think I'm kind of enjoying it actually. Saving me some money for sure. Today I ate some egg off of my daughter's taco for lunch. It was large enough for me to have some and she didn't even finish it and a bite of beans off of my husband's carne guisada taco. Lol I did save two tiny containers of dinner to freeze for my lunches. I also had my green bombs this morning too. I'm digging the veggies. 😊

As for dinner. Thanks ladies. It was good. Only was able to get 1.5 shrimp, a piece of sausage and a few veggies.

@patty0715 hon I think you should call your doc as soon as you're able. Zofran can stop you up for miles, and if you're taking it a few times a day, maybe it might be one of the culprits of not getting things down. Sometimes our digestive system can play the part. But, with that said, it can really dehydrate you too. I think your best bet at this point is to call your doc. Sorry I can't be of much help but please keep us updated. I'm wishing you well hon.

Kitchen done or not, I cleared some space and cooked up some shrimp and sausage with veggies (peppers, zucchini, onion, garlic). Old bay seasoning, pepper, salt, red pepper flakes. Yum!

It's quite normal to be nervous. Your pre-op wasn't for nothing and you're totally right, healthy is much better tasting than some bad food, even though it can sound real good. The first 24 hours of surgery you will most likely not even bother thinking about food, you'll just be trying to get comfortable and drink your water/ice chips down. The hospital will have you on a liquid bariatric diet and so that's the time to figure out how your tummy will take it. I did not tolerate cold items. Hot broth/coffee was good for me. You definitely won't be hungry really. I didn't start having hunger about 5 days post op. Even then, and even now, it's still no more than a couple of Tbsp of food. I believe all will be well. Congrats on your upcoming surgery hon. Blessings to you. 😊

Yay! I'm happy for ya. I counted down all my requirements too. Lol. 😊

I disagree with the second poster. Tell the truth and no little lies. If there's anything that is needing help, seek it now before surgery. You'll be glad you did. Otherwise, the evaluation might probably be what you least expect. Mine was, just a nice answer the questions sit down talk with the therapist. We had a lot of laughs and I didn't want to end it, our conversations were so good. Lol. You will be fine hon. Blessings on your journey!!!

Always. Forces me to drink my water. So, it's a good thing at this point.

In a blender, blend together a large handful of kale, large handful of spinach, 1/2 cucumber, 1/2 large green apple, 3 slices of ginger, and 1/2 avocado. (You can add whatever veggies you'd like). Add some water and make it a pourable but not too liquid-y consistency. Pour in to ice cube trays. Freeze them. Pop them out and store in a freezer bag or container. Pop one or two out (I used two yesterday) and blend with protein drink. But because I didn't want my pre made protein drink to get frothy, I blended my two green bombs with a little bit of water first. Then I added the protein drink and shook the container instead. i like green drinks, they taste fresh for me. So if you don't care for them, then you'll probably want to add fruit to make them a little sweeter. These taste good (to me) in chocolate protein shakes.

Thank you hon. 😊

Amazing!!!!! 😊

In other news, My day consists of church and trying to clean amongst the kitchen mess and take out girls out to do something. 😁 Yall have a great day! I'll check back in later.

Have yourself a great day. I hope you do find a machine too. Enjoy your grand. And we'll look forward to your salmon pic. 😉😁

Happy Sunday y'all!!! Hallelujah!!! I've got a bm!!!!! I'm so happy! I'm convinced my veggie green bombs helped. I'll be sure to use them everyday now. Yeah!

I have found that when I do eat the purée foods, almost immediately, nothing sounds good anymore. If you still are feeling hungry after a couple of Tbsp of beans, for example, you might be dealing with head hunger. Keep that in mind. Blessings on your journey hon.
