Topic: RE: 4 days post op /liquids?
Hello and congradualations on your surgery I believe you are one of the lucky ones I have to be on my liquid diet for 10days. I to am in post op 6 days today. I am not sure as to the weight gain maybe gas? As far as the tickers I did not know how to put one up as well I just clicked on someone elses ticker and it sent me to a web site designed for that. Good Luck!!
Topic: RE: RECLINER vs BED
Thanks, everyone! We really don't have room for one so I don't want to buy one but...I guess I could use it and then sell it. I think I will wish I had one if I don't! CraigsList is the place to get one, IMO!

I'm not worried. Well, I'm worried that it won't get done, but that is silly...right? LOL

i can't even put a name to the emotions i'm feeling. disbelief seems to come up for me a lot....along with a lot of "can we just do this already?"

Topic: RE: THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!!
I am so glad to know that I am not the only one about to bust. I can't believe it. Only SEVEN DAYS. I am so tired of all the stares. I am 5'4" and weigh 398 pounds. I had a little boy look at me (he was about 9) and said your fat. Like that was some secret. I told him he was rude. But that really hurt me. I can't wait to blend in with the majority of the people. We will be babes~!!!LOL

Topic: RE: For those who did or are doing a Liquid Diet
My surgery is November 21 and I started my Optifast on Friday. My mouth is constantly dry. I have a horrible taste as well. I actually ate 1/2 a Triscuit cracker and felt guilty. The vanilla is the hardest for me to get down and this morning I actually gagged. I am quite surprised by all this. I didn't imagine this would bother me in the least! I have tried chewing gum, having a sugar-free cough drop.....nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
Topic: 4 days post op /liquids?
Hello,
This is my 1st post and i am 4 days post op (Lap rouen y). I am on the clear liquids diet for 2 days and then start full liquids (hot choco, pudding, and protein shakes,etc..). I am sipping on water or decaf unsweet tea all day. I do not really want any jello or popsicles. I am worried that I may be sippin too much as the pouch only holds 1 ounce. I assume the H2O passes through quickly . I was told at the hospital to drink 1 ounce every hour. Anyone else doing this and any suggestions?Also, i have gained weight wneh I came home from hospital. Is this normal.? When will I start losing?
P.S. I do not hav epic or ticker up yet as I am not tech savy. I will soon figure it out.
Thanks,
Amy
