Heyy Heyy guys!! So it's my 8 week post op.. I'm down 51 pounds!! It feels amazing. I can honestly say this is the best decision I've EVER made in my life, besides marrying my best friend in da whole world who also is 5 weeks post op and has lost a total of 30 pounds. This is insane! Our skins are so dry, and my incisions still feel like their itchy, scaly and sometimes they leak a yellow Fluid. Is dat normal?? Besides that were doing GGGGREAT ! How's everyone feeling??

Congrats on amazing success! I'm 7 weeks post op and down 43lbs. Feels awesome! My incisions are completely healed and have momentary itchiness here and there. Yours are oozing??? I would def bring that to the attention of your Surgeon and make sure that's not cause for concern. Keep up the good work!

Congrats! Regarding the dry skin, try some coconut or body oil. It really helps. Put it on after a shower, before you dry yourself, then pat dry. As far as the incisions, I would have the Dr check them if I were you. Mine were completely healed on the outside by my 4 week check up. Another girl at the check up had yellowish discharge and she had an infection and had to get some antibiotics for it. Good luck to you both! I think it's awesome you guys are in this together!

      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.
