Lissa_S 787 Posted August 20, 2012 Lila the next 2 weeks will go so fast, I was nervous too, I think we all were. When are you traveling to the coast? Thanks I hope that it does...find for the first time today I am hungry even though I've eaten. It probably is because I am used to having huge amounts to eat at night and not eat at all during the day. Plus there are less distractions at night...perhaps I will have to work a bit more lol...keep myself busy. I am driving to the coast on Sunday (day before) as I have to work on Saturday - I've been trying to fit in all my clients at least once this month before I take three weeks off...it's hard! Thanks to everyone for your support...it really does make a difference! Cheers, Lila 1 jules58 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did notice a increase in going to the toilet, there must be something in them that helps that, as it suppose clear your liver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Shell* 162 Posted August 20, 2012 Omg girls, decided to walk 10 levels of stairs at work today and for a exercise that took possibly 15 minutes, I have never been in do much pain, my heart was going so fast and at the end, I was light headed, unsteady on my legs (still am 8 hrs out)!! I am going to do this 3 times a week such a great work out and heart rate perfect for weight loss. I started to struggle 2 floors up but just pulled myself up, then had to come back down. Susie & Lila - time will fly by and before you know it you will be on the other side. It was about 2 days before op I started getting very anxious but surprisingly on day of op I was really calm and couldn't wait to have it done. As soon as I was wheeled into theatre, I was a bit shaky and then my sleep doctor asked how I felt then I was out, woke up 3 hrs later 2 Lissa_S and susie77453 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd had dinner and was feeling like, what that's it? I kept drinking Water hoping it would fill me and it did but oddly enough I am still h-ungry I've also started to get a bit of a headache which I'd avoided so far, so I think I'll try to have an early night and with luck, will put it behind me!

*Shell* 162 Posted August 20, 2012 Lila, I had a throbbing headache for about 4 days straight on my Optifast and honestly struggled for the first week. 2nd week I got through no problems. Hang in there, it'll be over soon 1 Lissa_S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lozzad 3 Posted August 20, 2012 Hi' date=' I was done on the 13th, so you're a bit further than me. "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". I say this to myself whenever I want something I used to love, so about 237,000 times a day. I may just get it tattooed on my wrist, like a rubber band you snap when you think about it. Hopefully once we get to eating normal food, we find we don't want crap anymore, like some of the others here. Chin up. This too shall pass.[/quote'] Thanks ladies for all your replies . That's so true that's gonna be my new saying! Does anyone find when they drink fluids they feel sick or get the hiccups nearly every time I have something. I vomited last night not sure why . Could it be because I had a hemmrage a day after the surgery that's still effecting me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just keep up the Water and i did rhe same as you and went to bed early to avoid picking. You could always have a bt more salad or vege or i found a stock cube in a cup of hot water reaaly took away that hungry feeling.

unknown54678997 50 Posted August 20, 2012 Don't stress. It will happen I was so worried about it too... How many coloxyl did you take? You can take up to 4 tablets. Go easy though cause next thing you will have diarrhea. I had one bm on day 5, one on day 11 and again on day 15. As long as your not in pain? just let nature run its course SERIOUS Constipation problem!!!
