Morning all :) ...last night was rough. I was laying flat in the bed and my incision on the right side was hurting. I guess it doesnt like laying flat, i was too far over and I had a lot of trouble getting up. Took 3 trys of my bf helping me. I finally got to the bathroom and the nausea hit me. Thank god my mom filled my script for the "ondansetron". My bf ran the pills into me. I popped one in my mouth, got up..rushed to bed, he got me the trashcan and a cool rag for my head and i went back to sleep. Woke up around 4 or 5 and took another one, still felt crappy....and finally got up at 815....took another one for precaution sake. Not sure what happened. I haven't really been nauseous. Still having the gas pains in the tummy but they are getting better. My legs feel crampy. I wonder if im dehydrated. I feel like im fitting in as much Isopure and Water as I can. My sleeve is only so big! I have yet to finish a whole bottle of it, but im getting cl

oser. I have my post Op visit tomorrow afternoon...and i think weds or thurs I can add in milk based things (creamed Soup, soy milk, Protein shakes) That will be good. Decided last night to go to the food store website and add stuff to the cart, turns out they will do the shopping for you for 10 dollars and you just pick it up!! That will save me a lot of stress walking around in the store seeing all the yummy foods that i can't have any more. So, I saved my list :D

Okay so the good part...Today I weighed in at 253.8. My first goal was taking off 25 lbs from my highest. Today.... I am 26.6 lbs down from my highest (280.4 on july 11th). I am down 10.2 since surgery day (wednesday)

Yesterday I said goodbye 280s, 270s, 260s...hopefully tomorrow I'll be saying goodbye 250's :)

Have a great day everyone!!

Welcome to the 23rd pack big daddy (soon to be renamed medium or small? Lol).

Skinny pants.....sorry you are having a bit of trouble. I hope it moves along soon as well as the pounds. You're doing pretty impressively now....just don't barf away the calories too much or you'll be a skinny girl with bad teeth :P.

Best wishes to all who are in today! When you are able please check in. I'm sure I'm not the only person who checks to see how folks are doing after their day. It's been great to see that in general people are not worse than expected.

I have my last preop doc visit today to find out my time. Then tomorrow a 90 min nut so I can prep for recovery and the future. :). I had to turn down two close friends dinner invites and decided to tell them why instead of lying or putting them off. I'm actually ok with that now though you won't see me posted on the docs website lol. I'm not that much of an exhibitionist. Anyhow, morning to all and take care!!!!!!

Well i started the prep liquid diet that dr Kim requires a week early and I'm down 9lbs!! Started at 194 now at 185 in one week. But I have two more weeks of liquids only! Surgery is not until the 28th. Man this is tough but it's nice to see the difference in the scale.

For those of you who haven't started this part just make sure you drink all your shakes and it will really help the hunger. I try to soace mine out about Every 2-3 hours. Im drinking 5 per day Also keep Water with u at all time. Plus hello and Popsicles help as well.

Good job JLOR!

For the liquid diet did anything help you keep your mind off being hungry and grouchy?? :) I haven't started mine yet but trying to prepare. I was thinking maybe getting some craft stuff so I can keep myself busy. I am a stay at home mom and tend to be exhausted and grouchy already! Hehe.

      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.
