Eventer826 35 Posted March 4, 2018 Please share bc I'm 1 week in to my two week and I'm starving. I was good in the beginning but now I'm dying!!! Oh my gosh, I am DYING!!! And not really losing the weight that I should be for being on liquids only and starving. I just got other Protein Shakes and unflavored Protein to add to stuff, but in all honesty I want hot wings!HW 303SW 278CW 280GW 150Sleeve 3/6/18 1 ready4change88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here. I told one friend I hadn’t planned to because she was in the company of other friends who knew and she was horrible. Not in a rush to deal with the judgement again.

Cjackson82 39 Posted March 4, 2018 Well 3:30 in the morning. Officially started stage 1 now. Able to start little itty bitty sips of Water now every hour. Pain is not to bad. Had pain meds at midnight and don’t feel I need them right now. Walked a total of 5 laps last night. Very happy about that. Staff here is just amazing!!!Today is going to be great!!! I can tell. How are you doing ? 2 VeroClarke and WaistingDownTime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahnormandeau 47 Posted March 4, 2018 How are you doing ? Not to bad. Bit of a rough night. Pain got pretty bad last night. Made me nauseated again. The hit me with double dose of pain meds and anti nausea med. then nurse made me up two ice packs. Those helped a lot. Got up a bit ago and got couple laps down the hall done. Waiting till 8am for Protein Shake. Then doc should be in to let me know if I’m getting out today. Had to have more blood work to see if my count is still off. So all is going as expected. One step at a time in this new journey . 1 Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirstyoz 6 Posted March 4, 2018 Hey so I posted before just after my op on 28 February. I’m 4 days post op and 4kg lighter (8.8 lbs) already. It’s so tough guys. Really. I’m happy I’m doing it and no regrets but psych yourself up for a difficult first few days. And don’t worry because I’m a wuss so if I can get through this recovery you damn well can too!! Plus in the USA you have heaps of interesting Protein options and bariatric food options for recovery that we don’t have here in Australia. I have another suggestion, once you’re able to start tracking your Fluid intake so you know what you’re getting. I’ve got my favourite plastic Disney cups that have seen better days and marked ml on them with a sharpie, just 50ml and 100ml. Then I can note down in my (Disney) notebook for each date: time / fluid type/ fluid volume and also medications. It’s important to have a sense of how much fluid you’re managing to get overall. I’m borderline getting 1l a day so I can’t afford to go below that. Tracking helps. 2 Eventer826 and Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
