Tssiemer, your gonna be okay! Promise. It's finally your day! We are all here for you

Bcostasbiggs, that's great your doing good. I totally understand the whole chew thing. When are you able to chew something?

[Tssiemer1 549]

I made it out ok. No real nausea or pain. Just gas and some acid reflux I think.

[MollyF22 62]

Tssiemer, how you doing today?

[Tssiemer1 549]

I can't keep down Protein Shakes so I'm drinking Water and fairlife milk. Everything else tastes way too sweet. I'm also sleeping a lot and not sipping like I should.

[MollyF22 62]

Protein Shakes suck. And the artificial sweetners don't help at all either. It's good that your drinking Water n milk though at least. sleeping will make everything better and help your body heal faster too. The hot showers will help you feel better. The next week will be so much better

I was doing so well and then last night I started throwing up and today I feel awful. Everything tastes like rotten eggs. My stomach is really sour and I'm exhausted.

Try limiting the amount of milk for now. Do you have anything for nausea? I know it sounds weird but brush your tongue and see if that helps with your taste. Try broth, tea (mint or ginger will help settle your stomach), Protein Water (or unflavored protein mixed in water), try drinking things at varying temps to see what works best. You have to get your fluids or you'll get dehydrated quickly. Rest and fluids - don't worry too much about protein right now. Hope you feel better soon!

@@Tssiemer1 sorry your not feeling well. Try to move around too and not just recline/lay down in bed or on the couch. Two weeks out and it hardly feels like I had surgery. Scabs and bruising on incisions are gone, I'm able to gulp fluids and feel the restriction when eating yogurt or Soups. It gets better but you have to get moving and sip Water like its a job!

[MollyF22 62]

Tssiemer, are you feeling better?

Bloomer, how are you doing?

I believe I'm at a stall

[Bloomer723 75]

I'm doing good. I have been the same weight since Friday and started my period Monday. Hoping for a loss when I weigh in Friday. Honestly sometimes I forget I've had the surgery. No pain and able to drink big gulps of water/protein shakes.< /p>

hi everyone. Hope this finds everyone well. Been busy doing life stuff @@MollyF22 , @@Bloomer723 and

@@Tssiemer1 Hope all your after surgery days are going well. June will be my last month of Family doctor visits and July will end my Nutruition visits. So close.. yet so far away. Close enough to feel anxious though. I've lost 88 lbs since my initial visit on January 14. still so much more to go to reach the goal i've set for myself. 202 lbs to be exact. Can't wait to get all this off and get on with my life.

Much Love

It turns out I had a kidney infection. I was sick for a week. My husband convinced me I was being a wimp. But Friday I almost passed out in the shower so we called the surgeon. It's Friday so no one was in. My post op appointment is Wednesday. Anyway I went to the ER and had severe polynephritis. They kept me for IV antibiotics and fluids. Next day I woke up feeling 100000 times better. So now I'm doing well. Meeting my goals without pain or vomitting.

[MollyF22 62]

Kyboo, not too much longer. It will go by since summer is here pretty much. It always seems like summer goes by the fastest. It will seem like forever though.

Bloomer, how are you doing?

Tssiemer, how are you doing too? That's good you are better now and it's scary how sick anyone can get from a kidney infection. I'm sorry you went through all of that. It's pretty rough after surgery too.

I am 12 pounds away from onederland. This is the lowest I've been in a long time. I'm 212. I was 220 when I got pregnant in 2012. I was 170 10 years ago so that's gonna be my goal weight.

Today

[Bloomer723 75]

Doing well. I've been on a 13 day stall that broke today. Hoping to see a loss Friday. I only lost .4 last week. I'm almost to Onederland too! I have about 5 pounds to go. I am almost one month out, it went by fast. We leave for Disney a week from Friday and I would be so happy to be under 200. My stomach has become super itchy. I'm noticing a change in the way my clothes fit. People at work are commenting, asking if I've lost weight so that's exciting.

[MollyF22 62]

I am so jelly that your going to disney! Omg. Take me with you! That's one of my goals. I've been wanting to go back for the last 10 years. It's the best place on earth besides the ocean. I hope you have a great time!

That is great that your clothes are changing and everyone is noticing the change too. Do they all know about your surgery?
