LoLoH

hi!! i am doing really well. My biggest struggle is getting enough protein and water everyday. I'm also having a really hard time remembering to take my vitamins everyday. Do you guys ever stand up too quickly and black out? That's been happening to me lately! I am 10 days shy of 4 months out from surgery and have lost a total of 105 lbs. (I lost 40 lbs in preparation for surgery). I am hoping to lose 30-40 more lbs. I am hoping I can do it but a little in disbelief that it could be possible. Then again if you had asked me 4 months ago if I thought I would be down 100 lbs I would of said heck no!

I am absolutely available! Would love to have someone to talk to as well! I am right next to lewisville and grapevine. Just moved to Texas a year ago so I don't know much about location. How are you feeling so far?

Today was 6 weeks since I had surgery. I have so many questions! does anyone have trouble drinking water? It hurts so much every time I drink and there's no way I'm getting enough water. Any solutions? what is something yummy I can drink besides water and G2? I feel sick A LOT. Even when I don't eat I feel sick. Or mostly when I take one (very little) bite of something (on the diet) and swollow my stomach hurts often and I stop eating....is this normal?

I had surgery exactly a week ago. I feel hungry all the time and my temptation for bad food has come back. I haven't dared gone near it even though my entire family eats fast food and delicious carbs around me all day long. I can't really tell the difference between being full or having gas? But i ate yogurt about 3 hours ago and am starving! Is it normal to feel this hungry all the time at this stage? Also anyone have really good meal ideas for this week? I'm getting tired of the same thing always. On a side note any one have recommendations for next week meals when I get to start adding meat?

I was wondering what people would recommend for clothes in hospital and during recovery? I know loose clothes. But how loose? All my short or pants waistbands go to my belly button or are tight against my stomach. Would dresses be ok?

I have surgery in exactly a week. I am ADD and have been on medication for it since I was a little girl. no one can really seem to give me a good answer about medication after surgery? I was taking 2 30 mg XR tablets but know that's too big for after surgery so I switched to instants which are still a little big? Did any one have this problem? How long after surgery did you start taking medicine again?

Mine is June 19th as well! Good luck!

I am 9 days away from surgery and terrified/excited. I am currently doing the 2 week liquid diet. I am on day 6 I cheated last night and had a slice of pizza cause I had been awake for 48 hours and only having protein shakes and water and could barely stand or talk. I'm really worried maybe I screwed everything up. Other then last night I've been very good about my diet. I was told my doc is strict about the 14 days. But I can't afford to reschedule surgery since I already have someone flying in to take care of my kids while I recover. Did i totally screw everything up?

I am in pre op having surgery in 9 days and I'm terrified/excited and would really love someone to talk to and help me with this journey! Any one in the DFW area?
