I am having a revision done 8/13. The liquid diet hasn’t been too bad (mind over matter, right?). I’ve lost 4 pounds in 4 days so that alone has kept me motivated.

Until yesterday, I'd lost 9lbs (for 6 days worth of liquid diet), but this morning I gained 1.4 of it back which has be SUPER perplexed because not a single thing changed...I didn't eat more, didn't eat at any different time of day, didn't cheat. I'm like wtf? Lol. I'm gonna see what happens tomorrow morning...maybe my scale was just weird.

So how is everyone feeling that had surgery this week? I had it Monday and I'm ok I have alot of pressure in my tummy still. Also I don't think I can take one more sweet thing like popcyles and Jello, also i have always loved chicken noodle broth but I think after this I will hate it!

I was sleeved Monday, feeling great. Getting more Protein in. Cold drinks and Jello make my gas pain worst but overall I'm feeling really good!

I had my sleeve on August 8. Came home yesterday. Starting to feel soreness and coughing. But okay for the most part.

You probably have the fluids they pumped into your body while,you,had a an IV plus there probably is Fluid and swelling internally from the assault on your body.Yeah you wanted it but your gastrointestinal system is "crying", it says "why, oh why did YOU let them do this to ME? I thought we were friends?" Gradually the "water weight" will leave and you will start again on your weight descent. It's ALL GOOD after all.😍 💓😛

What pill? Is that the emend?

Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes the horribly expensive Emend. I found a GoodRX coupon which bring the price down to $120 for 2 pills.

I must have really good insurance (not bragging, still shocked), I was surprised it was covered and paid $40 for all my pre / post op Meds yesterday. I was expecting to use the emend coupon I found online and didn't need to.

No you should brag. If my medicines were $40 I would brag and choregraph a victory dance. My doctor warned me it would be expensive so I was prepared. My biggest fear now is when I take the Emend it will slip out of my hand and fall into the AC vent. That would be just my luck.

      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.
