    I am so tired of liquids

    derbin247 replied to derbin247's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yes I am miserable. I wonder why all surgeons say different amounts of time. i am so jealous cuz another girl i talk to on her did liquids for a week. another girl from my same office did liquids for ten days... but this puree machine gives me new ideas.

    Ok so i ran to my moms house and got her little puree machine and i pureed campbells bean with bacon soup and it was SO GOOD. I am sooooo happy that you guys gave me these tips. i have so many cans of yumminess in my cupboard that i can actually eat now. I love you guys!!!! This makes it doable. And the beans do keep me full. :cursing:

    No lol.. they gave me three weeks off! i am kind of going crazy at home so i am pondering the idea of going back on monday. the liquid diet does suck big time. i cant wait until its over. i was emotional too. i cried at the thought of not being able to use food as my comfort anymore. its a big change. i was emotional after too... but i have lost 8 pounds so that is cool!!! good luck you will do great :)

    I just had my surgery on 2/25 and i felt like i was dying. i could barely shower or pardon me for being so graffic... wipe myself when i went to the bathroom. everytime i moved i felt like i was ripping my port out. its been over a week and i am just now feeling better. go to a medical store and buy a stomach support band that will hold you in. it has been a miracle for me. i sleep in it. trust me go get one. it keeps the port in place and you wont feel it ripping. i still wince when i get up off the couch or if i bend over normally. i have to squat down with my back straight. good luck. it will get better.

    I just saw that on the Tyra Show. I am pretty sure that was the TV show it was on. Looks interesting. A girl got on it and I dont remember how much weight she lost but they weighed here at the end of the show and she had lost I think like .6...

    Oh i know. I went to my parents house and they were eating taco bell. i was like omg. i made myself some broth and Jello. no comparison. i was banded on the 25th. 6 more days of liquids. then i too, have two more weeks of smushy foods. my friend who has the band and has lost 100 pounds said during this phase she would blend chili and drink it. i cant wait to do that.

  15. derbin247

    Oh lol you wrote me back on your page... where do you get benefiber from? oh that scares me about the stitches. i have been reading on here and some of the people say they could have mushies after a week! lucky them! 40 pounds is a lot. thats great. i have lost 6 now in the past week. its about a pound a day. i just spent two hours doing english homework and now i have to spend another three doing my history midterm. sucks. i am soooo not prepared. i think i am going to go take a walk with my ipod to get my brain cells working.

    Thanks for sharing your story. I am glad that you guys are ok. How scary that must have been! Don't pay attention to the people who left negative comments. I would be scared too if I had guns pointed at me.

    How much does it cost in Cash?

    derbin247 replied to heyheyitsME's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    My surgeon in So Cal costs 15000 but if you are a cash paying patient he gives free fills for life.

    Wow. 21 days. That is A LOT. I went to vons today and got their signature soups. They have the best potato soup. I watered it down with milk and strained it and had instant breakfast with it. i felt a little better with that.

    You will do great. You will wake up when you are done and think - that was what i was so worried about? dont get me wrong. i had mine done last wednesday and i am still in pain when i make certain movements but some people are up and going the next day. congrats on your big day!!!
