Please add me to the list. I had surgery march 12. Had a few down days after hurting myself doing too much. I just felt so good on the 8th day! Believe them when they say no lifting, no bending, and no twisting. The docs really mean it when they say walking only :)

Wondered how you were doing! Hope it's getting better.

Slimmac here and please add me to the list for 18 Mar.

How about Spring sleeves or thin sleeves. Especially with the pounds everyone is dropping!!

I used a spoon on cream of mushroom Soup. It was great having another taste besides Water, chicken broth and a bunch of fruit or berry flavors.

ChangingMeforMe,how big are the sups you are taking? In fact question for who ever wants to answer, how big are the sips you take? Are you still measuring or just drinking?

Wow so I spent all day yesterday walking. Outside, inside, laps around Target and reized the gas / shoulder issue was no longer hurting! As soon as I got home and sat down, if came back with a vengeance!

In addition, still a severe abdomen pain (not near incisions).

Picked up gas x strips and chewable children's Tylenol ( pharmacist says it has less sugar than liquid).

Here's to post op day 8

At day 11 I was able to take more than sips. Im day 13 today. I don't chug drinks but a mouth full of Water or Protein Drink goes down easily.

Please do something for me! I know as we get further in our recoveries, we will post here less & less. Would you please follow me on my blog, email or fb? I don't want to lose touch with my newfound friends & fellow March Sleevers! I started my blog when I got the LapBand, I have had weekly posts & weigh-ins since 2009. There are so many others on our path who share their advice & experiences with me. Do you have a support system in place? I would love to stay buddies!!

Today's rough.

I am covered in hives and I feel like I have four billion mosquito bites. Definitely allergic to one of my new meds or Vitamins. :(

WTF it seems it is one thing after another. I guess it would just be as easy as everyone thinks if we didn't have these speed bumps.

It's been 2 days since surgery and I'm feeling pretty good. The worst part right now is my swollen abdomen. I don't know if it's because of the gas or the trauma of the surgery (maybe both?) but i cannot wait for it to get back to normal. I'm wondering how long that took for others?

I'm doing pretty good so far getting things down. I'm drinking lots of Water, had my first Protein Shake, drank a whole bottle of the Isopure Protein drink and even a little bit of yogurt drink and applesauce. Took all my meds and Vitamins too.

      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.
