So, have any of you had bloating related to pms since surgery? Yesterday I was very very umm, angry? Emotional? Pms-ing! Lol. Anyways, today I am uncomfortable with this damn bloat! Wondering if anyone else had this and felt more uncomfortable than usual after the surgery? Also, everyone please take a moment to say a prayer, send out positive vibes, whatever your thing is for Simply Southern if you haven't already. I'm so worried about her and I've been praying and thinking of her all morning. I hope we hear something soon. :(

Still not losing weight. Gained 5 pounds while I was getting dehydrated. Dr said it was my body trying to retain what fluids it could. Then lost 2 after not being dehydrated anymore. Weighed this morning to find out I've gained the two back, stopped weighing everyday cuz it's just so disappointing. I'm about ready to throw the scale out the window. i walk about 40 minutes each day and just don't know wth is going on. I'm getting fluids and Protein. Any ideas or similar experiences?

Gen :-)

I haven't taken any pain meds. I guess I have a high tolerance of pain. I used the button twice in the hospital but it was only to get some sleep. the other lady snored soo bad.

Maybe your weight gain is due to your period coming too? I was losing quite quickly but the last time I weighed I gained 2 lbs and it's the same today. Bet when Aunt Flo comes it'll go away! At least I hope!! I HATE Aunt Flo!! Lol.

I think your body will fight the process for a bit. It is holding onto whatever it can. Don't worry, I am sure the weight will start coming off. I decided to weigh only on Fridays because the day to day is up and down so much. It's hard to wait a week, but I think it gives better accuracy at where you are at. Good Luck. Don't be discouraged!! You got this!

      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.
