@Luzbella I know right? Im "nesting" also. Cleaned out my entire pantry, fridge, cleaned my house. Making room for the new Protein Shakes, Jello, broth, phase 1 and 2 ready to go! Bought all the necessary products for later such as pyrex dishes, toddler utensils, sippy cups, got me a bariatric compression garment off Amazon, some walking fuzzy memory foam slippers to make my rounds in the hospital. My surgery day is the 30th also! Weve got 6 DAYS!

I bought all the same things! How weird is that? IDK about you, but I am ready! Just want Monday to get here already! How are you feeling in general? Yesterday was a bad day for me. I was a bit dizzy and had a bit of a headache. Must be the humidity. I was out running some errands and by the time I was back home, my head wanted to explode. Not today, I;m staying in relaxing in the AC and grooming. With everything done on my pre and post list, it's time for me. After my morning workout, I let my notifications remind me to drink H2O and my shakes, to walk, and am going to relax and do me. Today is manicure and pedicure. Tomorrow I plan to do facial and eyebrows and Friday my hair. What are you doing to make the days easier and faster for you?

Im actually going to get a mani and pedi here soon in a couple of days too! Washing all my clothes doing things that I know I won't be able to when im out of surgery. Eyebrows are also this week haha thats so funny that we are doing pretty much the same things!

Probably going to spend some of my "points" here on the BA store to get phase 3 foods that keep well in the pantry. Also I found this nut butter at costco I had a spoonful the other day its AMAZING! Its called Nuttzo, its so good!!! Also they give to charity which Im pretty big on. But the nut butter itself is def bariatric friendly, paleo and vegan friendly, organic, peanut and gluten free! YAY!

That’s what I did before my surgery too. Mani pedi and got my hair done. Bought everything I thought I might need and got stuff ready for the hospital.

Surgery 7/24...how's everyone doing? Gas pains are no joke and it's hard to take all the meds/vitamins

My surgery was on the 25 and yes gas pain are no joke and the spasm ouch. I am able to keep down liquids took a few bite of Jello. I can not take Vitamins until 5 day after. Able to walk around still doing the breathing. Good luck and let hope pain will be gone

My surgery was July 23rd. First couple of days were a lot of pain some nausea. Today I am getting up on my own. Hard to just drink liquids. Can’t wait to be able to eat something but I have to do Protein Shakes for next 10 days.

I'm afraid to try Protein Shakes! LOL I don't want to feel sick I've been sticking to Water and Popsicles so far, but it's really hard to get water in that I need.

How much water/liquid did your dr. recommend when first out of surgery?

My MD recomeneded 64 oz. Water daily. However that is to include the coffee/tea etc. that you drink that day. I have had no trouble consuming that much since my surgery on 7/18/18, but I drank A LOT of water/fluids daily prior to surgery

Surgery on the 23rd - and honestly the gas pains were just that...a pain. The worst part for me was the nausea - I felt sick from the anesthesia and then from the narcotic pain meds that were given in my IV. Finally they switched me to tylenol and I was okay. Water has been hard to get in (doc wants me to work up to 64 oz a day and I'm maybe getting 20-30/day right now).

And how are these waning days of July going for all my Bari-Buds? Everybody have their surgeries or about to? Hopefully no Buyers Remose or Years? You all have to be strong, all us August and September People look up to YOU, we need you to guide US through the pitfalls too! Even though you may not feel it it, you are the Mentors we look up to.🌈😛😪😥😝

Remorse or Tears, none of that, just smiles😝and Sunshine🌞

Surgery July 18th and I have to be honest and say I have had a couple of days of buyers remorse... but several people tell me that’s normal even Bariatric nurse case manager.. out of surgery wanted 34 ounces of Water which was damn near impossible.. some of the things by body likes my stomach doesn’t like carnation no sugar added Breakfast essentials.. I’m post op day 9 and my stomach is still the boss of what it likes... things that are too cold or too hot it doesn’t like... my nausea has improved and the pain is just with movements.. the spasms are less frequent primarily when things are to cold or my stomach is full... I prefer to eat Protein and not drink protein.... i can’t wait for that stage..
