I had never had acid before so I thought the gurgels was acid reflux. I started getting those around day 2.

I was started on omeprazole day 3 to control acid. I forgot to take it the other day and got real acid. Now I know what it is. Take your antacid!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad your doing well.

I had the pain in the middle of my back... it was an indication for me that it was time to slow the drinking, just going too fast. It has since transitioned to the front. So, good luck with that! Glad you are doing well and both swallow tests were great!

I know you get home late tonight... or maybe its early morning. Let us know how your feeling and how the plane ride was. I know you were a little concerned. My guess is your doing just fine.

Take Care

Oh, bless your heart. Waiting for a plane is horrible even when you feel your best. I hope you are handling the wait well and hope you get some sleep on the plane.

Trying to stay hydrated but realizing that stress would normally have me eating and drinking like crazy! Sure won't gain any weight on this flight! Drinking some blue berry juice cocktail, really gotta start some Protein at home tomorrow!

Yeah, definitely: Water and Protein, protein and Water. Right now, that's the name of the game.

I hope you made it home safe without dehydration. You had a challenging trip regardless of having surgery. Great that your mom was with you. Best wishes.

Well, I made it to my bed at 4am this morning! Have you ever been so tired that you are not? Well that was me... But I tried to sneak in bed without waking my husband who stayed at my house to watch kids. He immediately got an attitude with me for not saying hello (again, tried not to wake him) so after him trying to start an argument, I asked him to leave.

This journey will be challenging enough without having an insensitive, self absorbed person taking my energy and quite frankly I don't have any energy to hand out right now.

This may be more of a beginning for me than I realized. I took the kids to school which was extremely scary and swear I will never do that again on no sleep and came home and got 6 hours of sleep so I feel better. I took my Nexium (anyone know a better way to take these without dissolving and taking the chalk down?) and am sipping on beef broth now getting ready to tackly an Isopure Protein drink.

There were Hershey's Kisses on the counter when I got home (leftover from my last minute eat anything you want stage) and I tossed them in the trash. Did I want one, yes, is it worth it anymore, absolutely not!!! Thank you Will Power, thank you Sleeve!

Talk to everyone soon and thank you!!!

Angie

So sorry for you having to deal with your hubby when you were already past tired.

As far as your meds, I took mine right away with a sip of Water. No problems at all! I have been able to do that from just a few days out.

So glad to see you are finally home and in your own element! You will feel so much better after a good nights sleep and a few hugs from the kids!

Good luck and happy losing!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
