Well here I am 20 days post op so far I am down 30 lbs I am trying to eat a little food and when I eat solid food i can only take a few bits and I am so full. I still have to drink my Protein cause I am unable to eat enough. Not comparing. So far loving my new self WLS !!!

Family trying to make me change my mind

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. I am six days. Pot op and the first three days I thought I was gonna die because I was not hungry thirsty and everything I try to eat or drink taste so horrible I couldn't even put it to my mouth now these last three days everything taste normal and I am feeling hungry even after my protein shakes. So I thought maybe this wasn't going to work for me or something. I was more full before surgery with protein shake. Now after well it gos up and down hungry after shake and then like not even finish in a couple sips and then fill so full. Stomach is just all freaking out!!!

It wasn't so bad for my 10 day preop I didn't think I could do it but I did it I picked up pretty much only three things that I liked and that's what I had everything all day same thing for 10 days actually it's nine days and then the 10th day is clear liquid that's a hard day the day before clearly liquid. But it's over before you know it then you're in the hospital having surgery then afterwords you don't want nothing

Five days postop up till today I was really scared I was gonna end up back in the hospital due to no matter what it was everything taste so horrible nasty nasty nasty I could not even put to my mouth but today is so much better and things ar tasting normal the only thing I did find like a said was the coffee a few days ago that saved me from getting too dehydrated but now everything is good!!!!

No i'm not a diabetic I found out why my vision is been blurred it's the medication they gave me for stomach cramping I thought I was going crazy

Did anybody's vision get blurred afterwords my vision is like blurred a little bit I'm two days.

It's weird how this affects your tast buds so much.

And I M not even a coffee drinker

Well I'm glad I'm not alone. I finally found something I like and can drink decaf coffee with creamer and Splenda.

I am 2 days pot op it's so horrible. Everything tast nasty even water. Did anyone else have this problems? I've only manage to get so far 1bottle water

Support on not smoking cigs

Well my mom is more excepting of my decision of WLS she still wishes I wouldn't do it but she knows my mind is made up. So for everyone that's had WLS already did they give you lots of pain Med's after? I'm on pain management and they Spain there going to give me liquid pain medication cause I want be able to swallow a pill. And yes they have support groups I went to one support group so far but I really just need family support ya know.

I start my preop diet on the 18 this month Aug. I have to do 10 days liquid diet. I do not know why 10 days or how I am not going to have food for 10 days!!!! Maybe I should go to a deserted Island with my approved liquid foods lol i'm scared!!!!!!

Yea!!! Got my surgery date August 28 2017!!!! Excited but scared.

Mine is going to be August 28. They said it could be sooner if they have a cancellation.

I went ahead and had my Group meeting in person instead of online. So that's done!!! I meet with the nutritionist on the 20th July and I am going to get my surgery date also on the 20th!!!!!! So excited!!! So how many days pre surgery did you have to be on a high protein liquid diet?

Yeah I've smoked for 35 years I've haven't had a cig for 10 days now. I am vaping tho. I will switch to no nicotine on the 19th of this month July

How come I can not hear no audio on any videos

I'm not scared about the surgery I'm scared what comes after.

Yes I am worried as well. Not sure when mine will be but think it will be ether augers or September I'll get my date next time I go. I'm not so much worried about the surgery if self it's the after I worry about. Will something go wrong can I Eat the way they want me to will I ever enjoy food or a snack again. Don't care to over eat just be able to enjoy food when I can eat and feel satisfied. I also no I will have to really push myself to exercise the way they want me to and I think I can do that. I know I will have to change my way of life and the way I think about things. I also worry about after losing the weight will I need skin surgery? I know ins covers the one for your belly but what about between your legs ?? Hummm

I'm sure vape NF is fine it's the nicotine your not allowed to have

Wow really ? I was told I have to be 6 weeks no smoking or they would not do it. They said smoking slows down healing 50%

It's between Walter weight and also you Weigh more in the afternoon and night then in the morning and that has nothing to do what you eat or drink it's part water your body makes and the pull of gravity.

She used to be over weight maybe a little still but since she became diabetic years ago she lost almost all her weight. My grandma died of diabetes and I'm trying not to become a diabetic. In my family I have some a little over weight members but I'm the only one who is and ever was obsessed. She's always been way over dramatic protective over me and held me back most of my life. I am 46 and she still treats me like I am a kid
