Need a pal...or several!

[TammyA 77]

Hey everyone! I had my surgery on August 1, and I'm feeling great. I would love a group of people to share this journey with. I'm looking for some buddies who are going through the same things I am. My family is very supportive, but they don't really understand. Anyone game? We can do weigh in's if you want or just be there to support each other. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Awesome! Pre-op I was 328. My surgery was last Tuesday...and I'm at 308 today. My doctor has me on a clear liquid diet for another week, and I'm soooo hungry! There was no pre-op diet for me, but I'm struggling to get through the next week. Making dinner for my family is tough

Welcome, Bipolar! The first few days I couldn't even get the Water down...I took the tiniest sips. Now I feel hungry, but I have another whole week of clear fluids. You're doing amazing!!! 60 pounds lost in a month??? Holy Moly!!!! Congratulations!

[TammyA 77]

Hi Daisy! I"m excited now that the surgery is over. I was so lucky that I had hardly any pain, and I'm feeling great! How about you? Are you excited? Nervous? It's coming soon for you

Hello everyone! My name is Kaja and I would love to join . I had my surgery Aug 7th. I can't say I'm as luck as TammyA with hardly any pain but I feel great . One incision is being a brat but other than that I'm excited!!! Let's be excited together!!!

Kaja, welcome! I read your post that you're really hungry. Me too!!! I'm almost 2 weeks post op and still on Clear Liquids. I can even strain Soup like you did. I think it's interesting that different doctors follow different schedules. I see mine on Monday and then I graduate to soft foods. I can't wait!!!

Tammy
I can't figure out why everyone's plan is different. You did the clear liquids longer but I have a full liquid step in between[emoji849]. Cream Soups and Protein Shakes .. I'm so excited. You are strong because I ate 1 saltine day 5 because I needed to chew something and you have gone 2 weeks. How's your Pain. I iced my big incision and I'm definitely able to move around a lot better. I had to use the codeine though. I have a high tolerance for pain but my liver is pretty big so I think my doctor had to do a lot of work. Everything else okay?

[TammyA 77]

Kaja, I feel fine. I really don't have pain at this point. The first few days I did use the painkiller they gave me. I'm looking forward to being able to eat...that'll be huge and I think I stay on that soft foods plan for 4 weeks. I've lost about 24 pounds in less than 2 weeks...and that is totally worth it!!! How are you doing with weight loss? I followed you so we can stay in touch 😊

Also, a little Parmesan sprinkle on broth makes it 200xs better

Honestly, I haven't weighed myself. For me it's not really about the number. It's about the way I feel and my bp and quality of life. I'm to worries about not being dehydrated and going crazy because the only thing I have chewed is popsicles. Sunflower seeds are my thing. The shucking and spitting of the shell and without that comfort snack I've been cleaning everything lol

Wait you should be able to have strained broth soup. The broth is a little thicker because of the bean but it's just chicken broth. Gotta get creative. lol not to mention I went out to eat with my bf and it was either that or drink Water and watch him eat. I made sure I didn't eat anything solid or any Pasta. I would steer clear of Beans for gas purposes.
