Its only 1145 on the West Coast but I've been laying here for a couple of hours and can't fall asleep either.

I think I'm getting sick. I just took some dayquil ...cuz i couldn't find Tylenol or nyquil....and then i search on here and see that a lot of people say dayquil is a No No...great.

I got on the scales today and I've regained again. Tomorrow I'm gonna seek out a gym. I'm gonna make some calls today and the friends I think would be interested with me..gonna try to them to go with me. Keep me accountable. Prob gonna do all liquids and yogurt today. I will get my butt back in gear! I am really frustrated! It's pretty scary that I'm not losing but I'm gaining. I need to up my ante a bit. In the office today waiting for admissions to our hospice so I'm damn sure gonna shut my door and start exercising. Gotta make use of all my time. Any recommendations!?

Maybe only weigh yourself once a week?? We all go up and down but dont stress. Getting in gear cant hurt, but dont let it get you down my friend!

Just got off from work. Dam my back is killing me. For those of you using Flax seeds how much do you use per day. Enemas and nitrile gloves are becoming my friends and I want to break up the friendship!!

You are too funny! That is a friendship none of us want! ;) have u tried the Miralax? ? A double dose and im pooping all day long! Unfortunately my epidurals are wearing off and im hurting today too. They lasted a month so I guess I cant complain. See the spine surgeon on Wednesday.

I was doing miralax but obviously it was not working. I stopped using it after two weeks of it not working. I was taking double doses too.

Ok so I took some pics tonight after my mini melt down. This is some of the hair I've lost today. This was just tonight from my shower.

Hair lost from washing my hair

Just brushing my hair afterwards

This is only a fraction I lose. Is this more than normal? Idk. I just now my hair looks alot thinner.

      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.
