Cazulay, Yeah, just a hint of sun!!!! Nothing more!!! Depressing summer, temps are mild, which is nice, but sun is nearly non-existent!! I love to use the pool in the summer and this year hasn't been too good for that! The only time it was nice was the day of my surgery (100 degrees) and the two weeks after that I couldn't swim ... go figure!!!! Oh, and my pool doesn't have a broken filter, but another pump, which we just bought a year ago!!! Not too good, since the first one lasted 20 years and this one only one year!!! I am working on a letter to Doughboy as we speak, lol!

Hello All,

Glad to see everyone is doing well!! I am 11 days post op. I have been on liquids and soft foods for 11 days. Anyone notice a change in their breath. My breath tastes bad. so, I am sure that it smells bad. The only other time I really had this kind of bad breath was when I did the Adkins diet. What do ya'll think?

Also, did anyones' doctor tell then how long to wait before having sex. I really shouldn't even think about it.....especially with my stankky breath ....

I waited a week, but don't worry about the breath, I know my husband wasn't too concerned about my breath ... I doubt yours will be either, lol!!!! I think really when you feel okay with it, it is fine! :lol:

Since I've been gone, I've been thinking of some more mushy food to try.

How about ricotta cheese topped with SF or FF spaghetti sauce (if you have a taste for lasagna, this could be good), or spaghetti squash with the spaghetti sauce. I'm going to try some tomorrow!!

Went to the flea market and came home with so much fresh fruits and veggies. I cut up all this fruit and made a huge fruit salad, and just stared at it. Oh it looked so yummy, but I can't eat it like that, so I put some in my magic bullet, and it's in the freezer now. I'll have my frozen fruit and eat it too!! Can't wait.

Hi Jeanie, I'm here. My day was sort of so so. I spent the morning with the kids, reading to Sarah and playing video games with Jesse.

Then we had our "weekly date", which is grocery shopping. We put the kids in the daycare and shop in peace. We usually end the shopping with a snack, but not today.

I had a hell of a time trying to walk the distance of the store. My muscles in the lower left side of my abdomen hurt like crazy. I had to sit down several times. It's not normal for me, so I think one of my holes impacted that muscle.

Thanks Heidi for the suggestion of a heating pad for my neck. This has helped my neck and headacke alot.

I really don't have any surgery or gas pain, just this terrible headacke and neck pain. I'm sure it will pass soon.

My DH was out with Sarah at the playground a little while ago and the doorbell rang. I thought it was the kids down the street so I didn't answer. Then I heard my sister's voice. So I got up and answered the door. This was a bit embarrasing because I hadn't told her about this. So I told them I had my hiatal hernia operated on. She's a nurse, and knows about most of my ailements, so I really don't think she bought it.

Anyway, they just wanted to see the kitchen. So they stayed for a bit and then my DH came home and we talked for awhile. Still no answer about watching Sarah that week in Oct. so that my DH can come with me to Palm Springs. I guess I'll have to call her tomorrow to ask.

I think by tomorrow I will start to feel much better. Then on Monday I can start eating full fluids which means Soup and something more substantial that juice!!!

Hey, Sweetie, glad you had a nice day with the kids and shopping! I don't like the sounds of the pain while walking, but maybe just too much, too soon! I would definitely call your doctor if it doesn't let up for you though! You just never know! The headache would worry me also, do you normally have neck pain???? I had to go to the chiropractor in week after for low back pain, you may have to follow up on that one too! Take care of yourself and follow your body's signals, you know what is normal for you!

About your sister, she may suspect something, but I always think that way and usually it is my imagination! She just may have been surprised you hadn't told her about any surgery, including a hernia operation. Maybe that is all it was and not that she thinks it was a different surgery!

I sure hope she comes through for you on the babysitting! That is sooo disappointing when you have those chances and it doesn't work out! Let us know!

Work on Monday, you really do have to take care of yourself! You will be miserable if you can't get this figured out. When I have a headache I am down for the count!!! I will say some prayers that you find relief in these coming days!!!:lol:

I bought my son a salad at Subway the other day for dinner, because he loves salad, and I think I was salivating and drooling through the glass just at the sight of them making the thing!! Can't wait for that either!!

I did try a few bites of salad the other night at Red Lobster. I did okay, but quit because I was so fearful of getting stuck!!! I know, I always ordered salads when we went out to eat. It is hard to order differently now! Takes some willpower and forethought!:lol:

      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.
