No , I use to have heart burn but thats because i would eat stupid stuff like pizza in the morning. But this feeling makes me feel like my chest is about to explode. I hope the feeling does go away.

I hope this isnt a life long issue. It makes me not what to consume anything at all.

Not hitting my Fluid or Protein targets yet, but getting a bit closer every day. Pain is minimal. Thinking I'll switch to regular tylenol today if I need it. Congrats on the 20lbs already! That's so incredible!
We got this!

Thank you!! My dr said your first month they have a goal . But realistically Most can reach it . Just do as much as you can and take your Vitamins youll be fine! My pain has calmed down a lot. My pain mostly comes from heart burn and acid reflux from Water lol

My hardest part is getting fluids down . Omg it hurts so bad . I’m trying my best to get in as much as I can.! My doctor said 80 oz a day . PHHHT he better be happy I’m sipping 30 oz a day. I’m happy it’s over tho . But don’t let ppl fool the pain is real .!

Omg guys . Sorry I’ve been gone but the recovery process is real . I could barely keep my eyes open and when I did it headed for the bathroom and a few laps in my yard then back to sleep . Now I’m sitting on the edge of my bed at 2:00 am can’t sleep and listening to my stomach cursing me out

I just dont want to have a feeling of regret. Im already depressed about my best friend Passing. Which the psych eval Dr said that's normal with grief!
The group is amazing more effective. Questions get answered a lot quickly

I was thinking about geting the zozo suit for my measurements but im sure My granny can help me . Someone said if i have a stall dont worry about it my body is working on my inches instead of weight .

My surgery is Monday and i have some concerns!
Now i do read all the success stories so you dont have to give me that whole spill about look at the good and not the bad. I dont want to hear it. I've been following a lot of people who has had surgery before or just had surgery within the last 2 months and right after surgery. People start to feel emptiness and sad and it seems like heavy depression. When does that pass and how do you cope?
I really love bariatricpal facebok group .

3 hours ago, MrsGamgee said:Never had whataburger (don't have them here), but popcorn is my weakness and it's not on my pre-op diet at all. That hasn't stopped me from having some a couple of times in the last couple of weeks though. Thankfully the only popcorn we have left in our house is a package of microwave popcorn, which I find revolting.
Today is my last day on my hybrid diet. No more food funerals for me. Time to buckle down.
