Doing great today--Day 6! The only issue I'm having is that my swallowing is so great, I could easily consume 16oz per hour of liquid, especially if it's black Decaf coffee! I'm on full liquids with and 8fl oz/hour limit. Walking, sipping, eating 74g of Protein per day. It's all going great. Very little/no pain. Only drugs are gabapentin for 1 month for nerve inflammation.

You guys will do great! I only had nausea for a few hours immediately following surgery. Then only 1 small bout with it on day 2 at home. Nothing major though.

So I'm 19 days post surgery & everything is going pretty well. I've lost 31 pounds and for the first time in a long time I'm below 300 pounds. I'm in puree phase and since I'm a fan of cottage cheese and yogurt I'm doing alright. It is bizarre not being hungry I haven't felt the physical sensation of being hungry since surgery. My only complaint is the urgency when it comes to the bathroom, I wish they would have warned us about that in our classes, I mean we were in there for 12 weeks you'd thing they could toss in that everything going in is liquid so it's going to come out as liquid and if you're not careful you're going to be ruining some drawers. Glad everyone is doing well and thoughts and prayers for your recoveries and pending surgeries, Keep it up guys!

Well today is the last day of February and I want to thank,each and everyone for allowing me to hear your stories, share in your success and empathizine with your trials. Today still will be surgery day for a few of you. I know over on the sleeve side SleevedSoulSista is having hers,today. Thank you for making me feel one of your own, even if my tummy is still unbypassed. Perhaps March ,Perhaps April. I have 2 introductory seminars to attend, one on March,9th, one on March 10th. I am certain one will fit me me better. When you have been back-stabbed or lied to, it is difficult to step forward,with full trust. But my God didn't make no junk, I am a good person worthy of the surgery I so earnestly desire. I am a katlady, I will land on all 4 paws and go forward. Look for me around on one of the other month forums, I intend to be a Bariatric Paller until it's finished. Love and Hugs your kakatlady612. [emoji197]

Hey y'all! I just saw this in the January Bypass Buddies Thread! (I have a bunch of pals there since that's when I thought my surgery was gonna happen! ;) )

They do a Wednesday Weigh-In! Y'all wanna start one??? Ok, I'll start it here!!

Wednesday Weigh-In:

HW: 287lbs

SW: 222.4lbs

CW: 215.6lbs

Loss: (-6.8lbs) 2weeks post-op

Note: I'm doing great. Still having Constipation issues. Trying to get the train schedule back on-track and running smoothly and on time with great consistency! Bahahahahahahahaaha!!! Right now, Number 9 track has a train blocking the tunnel so schedules are backed up and iffy! Pray for me. Dear God in heaven, pray! ;)

      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.
