jersey_girl_86 61 Posted April 12, 2015 I'm so glad to see you all here! I have 3 children and I'm trying to prepare everything for the 3 days I will be in the hospital and the rest of the week so I can rest. I went to target today to get travel size hygiene products and gas X strips. I got a 7 day pill holder so that I won't forget to take anything this coming week. I'm starting to get really nervous.

blondbomb45 20 Posted April 20, 2015 We got this ladies!!!!! It's our big day!!!! I am nervous, but not about the surgery, more concerned with how much pain I will be in.

Tuesday I had horrible nausea. Today I'm finally starting to feel better except for this horrible gas in my left shoulder. It's the worst pain of everything. And I'm struggling to get in my fluids. It gets better day by day, but hoping this shoulder pain goes away soon. So glad you are doing well! I'm ready to feel as great as you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

momfromjersey22 403 Posted May 3, 2015 I'm feeling good. I'm still on full liquids and having a hard time getting the 64oz in. Other than that, I'm getting my Vitamins in and some walking. I know I'm probably over dueing it but have been cleaning the house too. I'm down about 30lbs since pre op diet and have seen a change in my body. For the first time in over 30 years I am feeling good about myself. Glad everyone else is doing well, we got this!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jersey_girl_86 61 Posted May 3, 2015 I got to go to pureed foods today!!! I'm still a little bit sore. I'm only getting about 30oz of liquid in so that's my main focus. I have lost 30lbs since starting pre op liquid diet of that 20lbs from surgery. I'm actually very exhausted and hoping that now I can have more options of things to eat that will give me some energy.
