Yey!!! ????????????

I drank 55 ounces today. Not 64 yet, but I know there's still tomorrow! How is everyone else doing with their fluids?

I have been so blessed to not have experienced nausea. Not even one tiny gag. I'm very grateful for that.

I've managed to get my Protein in but not quite there yet with the Water. I have not experienced any gas pains or nausea :)

Last night I wanted something fun so I grabbed a sugar free popsicle, boy was that delicious!!!!!

It's been 6 days since I've had a BM.....I guess I'm ok with that. I haven't felt the need to go yet.

Keep up the good work everyone, oh, and for the couple of you that have shat yourself .....I would take that any day over being constipated. I have not experienced Constipation on this journey but I have experienced it in the past, it's horrible.

That's great @@Pup if your lack of BM isn't giving you terrible gas like it did me, then you're doing great!

I just started taking my Vitamins and my alarm rings every 6 hours. I'm going back to sleep now.

ON ANOTHER NOTE:

I never realized until today that we have a very good thing going here. I've been to other forums on this app and they're littered with people who are immature and sarcastic. I mean sarcastic to the level of bullying. It's just terrible. Why be a part of any forum with that attitude?

I'm so happy to have all of you here participating.

Also, am I the only one, or is anyone else extremely frustrated being a grow up woman/man and pooping their pants?!?! Twice today. I'm beginning to wonder if they have me on too many laxitives/stool softeners.

Nope you are not the only one... I was not on laxatives but still had that happen to me, I thought I was going to pass gas and well... It wasn't gas... Was not fun! Can't trust the farts!
Yep, exactly. I'm in the bathroom yelling for my 14yr old daughter to find me clean underwear. Luckily I don't embarrass easily, but it is not fun in the least. Gonna give it the weekend and then call my doctor if it's no better.

Good Thing you were home.

When it happened to me we were at Lowes, I went there with hubby to do some walking... As soon as it happened I rushed to the restroom to clean myself up, hubby went home to get me clean underwear and pants... Good thing nobody noticed what happened but since then I knew I couldn't trust the farts lol

Onmica...I don't have a date of yet...June 7th I have to see a pulmonary doctor and then be cleared by him...I'm hoping to have my RNY later in June but I'm looking to July so I don't get disappointed again...I thought I would go in May but then they wanted me to see pulmonary doctor to check my chest xray...scar tissue on lung...just to be sure so insurance don't red flag me. I was concerned because I was a smoker so I figure that's what caused it but I've been smoke free for 3 years on June 22nd! Would be nice to have that date for wls. You guys have a wonderful group...wishing I would have had surgery in May!

This message is for anyone who is still throwing up, or has thrown up. As I have said before, I was blessed to not experience nausea.

When I brush my tongue, I am so careful to not go too far so I don't gag. I don't know what happened just now, but I was no where near careful. I brushed like I did before surgery and I gagged once. It was sooo painful that my eyes teared up. So I want to give HUGE kudos to everyone of you who is or has thrown up. You are some tough people. I don't know how I would have done it. You're awesome and you deserve a pat on the back!

I agree with, this is an awesome forum! It's been like a lifeline in helping me get through this. Sorry I didn't write yesterday, it was rough one, gas & nausea. I really need to have a BM & I'll be better. I'm just so bloated. I've had Miralax & will try the milk of magnesia. But, don't want to do too much & dehydrate myself when it happens. Overall, I feel good & still blessed to be going through this. But, anyone that thinks we took the easy way out needs to read our forum. This is not for the faint at heart. This forum also shows how strong we are.! :)

      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.
