Stay motivated. You can make it, believe me. I felt just like you but I managed and lost 20 pounds in the process. Good luck!

Yay! I'm happy for you.

Thanks everyone.

I am everything is well. congrats!!!

She said that she did this in the third week. That's the week of soft foods.

Was this in the third week when you started these food items?

:biggrin: It'll pass. Be strong and hang in there. You made the right decision. Keep walking as much as possible and take the meds as needed. This is just a temporary road block on your journey to success. BTW: I'm already filled too.

I applaud you. It's good to hear that fewer people are having complications. my surgery went pretty well also. Yay! February Bandits.

just keep re-assuring each other and I think, with time, it'll get easier. Be sure to tag her along with you whenever possible. Thanks for sharing.

It went well overall. No gas pains, soreness at the incisions but I have Lortab to help. I have no appetite and have only had a few sips of water today and yesterday.

My surgery ended up being similar to yours. I'm so happy. I had my surgery yesterday. I got to the hospital at 6:00 am and was in the pre-op area until about eight. My surgean team came in to see me before time. they were awesome. A bariatric representative came in to inform me of local groups to join. When the surgery started I was unware. I only remember them taking me into the surgery room. When I woke up, I had to keep asking if the surgery was over. I couldn't believe how great I was feeling. I thought I was going to vomit when I made it to the restoom but only a big burp came up. They took an x-ray of me swallowing some chalky like liquid to ensure that everything was in place. I experienced no gas pains, only soreness at the port and other incisions. The only thing that caught me off guard was the fact that I have about six incisions. On the first day, I drank some water a an eighth cup of broth. Today has been similar, but I will make a shake to drink some time today. It's what my doctor wants. I will see my surgeon in a month. I don't know why I was so nervous. It was a breeze and overall I feel pretty great.
