SW 196.5 GW 170 CW 168.2 YEAHHHH PASSED MY GOAL!!! [emoji259]M[emoji259]

I had a tough time before surgery because I was really dehydrated so my recovery was 8hrs long from them given me fluids. So make sure you drink lots the day before!!! Hotel was 3 days well 4 total counting the day before because we live 2hrs away. I stayed at the Candlewood. They give a surgery discount and have a recliner in each room which is where I slept. Think goodness for that because I try to lay in the bed but the gas pains were too intense and I couldn't. I felt so good after surgery that the next day I was out shoe shopping lol.

No

Should I update my goal beings I only have 2.5lbs to go? [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Sorry for late weight in. Wasn't home this weekend. CW 184 [emoji259]M[emoji259]

I can tell you I went through this exact thing. But in the end I think all it was was that he was scared of a bad outcome. Still now almost 4 weeks postop he still has his moments, but in his own way tries to make sure I'm comfortable, and getting my needs met. It's hard trust me!! [emoji259]M[emoji259]

I can sooooo relate to all this!!! I'm 13 days out and having the hardest time getting any protein or all my fluids in. Been soooo depressed and doing nothing but sleeping. Today has been great so for I forced myself to eat some potato soup today which actually felt great. But the sweet stuff like shakes get me sooo nauseous. However I am still loosing down 20lbs. Just wish I could get it together so I have more energy and feel better. SW 207 CW 187 GW 125 [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Start 196.5 Goal 170 Cw 187 [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Thanks I ordered the pills. Went to my regular doc and she told me that I need to get any calories in that I can no matter what because I am so weak. So I will try my hardest. But it sucks took me an hour and a half to eat a bag of instant grits!!! With that pace I'll never leave the table[emoji23][emoji23] She also changed my anxiety and depression meds so hopefully that helps. [emoji259]M[emoji259]

What kind of protein pill are they?? I need something bad cause I'm not even getting 10g a day in. [emoji259]M[emoji259]

So glad to hear your doing so well!! Me not so much[emoji20] I've been really tired and not able to get my fluids or protein in at all. I'm pushing myself as hard as I can but all I want to do is sleep so it make it that much harder. I have an appointment with my regular doc tomorrow hopefully they can do some blood work and see if something is going on. Keep it up. I know I'll be right behind you soon enough. I am however down 18lbs!!! [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Well had 1st post op appointment yesterday all went well. Doc moved me to creamed foods. So had a couple bites of creamy baked potato which was soooo scary but satisfying. I'm down 15lbs but still so tired all the time. I'm starting vitamins today so hopefully that helps. And still no bm so gonna try and take something for that to get things moving. Y'all are all doing great!!! Let's keep this up we will be skinny in no time!!! [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Yes I took my meds yesterday afternoon and within an hour I felt better. Sleep still not so much I'm up and down all day and night. I have no energy, and feel weird everywhere now. My skin and stuff. Not sure. I go tomorrow and see doc for post op appointment will see what he has to say then. [emoji259]M[emoji259]

I had a not so good day. I've been feeling really agitated and my anxiety has been through the roof. Then it dawned on me that I had never got the ok from the doc to start taking my meds after surgery!!! Luckily I didn't physically hurt anyone but I did hurt my moms feelings... I felt so badddd!!! Came home a took it not caring what doc said. Don't think I'd have made another day. Other than that I'm still feeling great surgery wise. Wish I could get more comfortable at night to sleep. When I get in my side it feels weird. Hopefully tonight is the night for some good sleep. [emoji259]M[emoji259]

If not my start weight as of yesterday was 196.5 Goal would be 170 [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Ok I'm just seeing this is it too late for me to join? [emoji259]M[emoji259]

I'm sure you will get this on Monday they gave me the green folder for my consultation. I'm hoping he starts me on Monday for my post op appointment. If you can't see pictures good pm me and I can email it to you. [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Also see if you can get some Core water from Sam's Club. It has electrolytes and minerals that may help. [emoji259]M[emoji259]

I can't relate to the pain as I haven't had any since the gas pain went away. But as for as liquids I've been putting the timer on for 1hr and making sure I drink 1oz every 15 mins. I only get discomfort when taking the liquid pain meds I guess cause it's thicker than the water but nothing bad that I can't handle. [emoji259]M[emoji259]

Well last night I had some what if a huge scare!!! I decided to sit down and start remove the sticky stuff from my bandages. As I was doing so I couldn't see some of the bruising around my belly button so I took a picture so I can see all of it and had a small panic attack. I called the Dr and he said all was fine. I'm not in pain and that it's from the blood thinners that was given to me. I'll post a picture but be forewarned!!! [emoji259]M[emoji259]
