I'm miserable...i'm going to lose my mind - I had a rough time after I got out of the hospital - got dehydrated, was dizzy, bad muscle cramps, etc. I ended up in the ER, got some fluids, and then I was ok. For about a week a...

You definitely have a lot of potential. You are very beautiful :)

The day before mushies :) - I get to start eating tomorrow!!! I'm super scared to eat anything thicker than greek yogurt, but I need some fiber in my diet (and variety) but I'm not looking forward to the "tri...

I get to start purees on Saturday! I'm not sure if I should be excited...

How exactly do you "puree" food?? - THis is probably a really dumb question.  I'm  a couple days away from pureed food. I'm planning my new shopping list. My surgeon's meal plan suggests pureed veggies/fruits/mea...

First follow up appointment - Not entirely happy with my surgeon, or bariatric follow up with Kaiser, but I'll live. Down 10 lbs from surgery 6 lbs until I hit the 100 lbs lost mark :) I'd like to get ther...

First follow up appointment - I really really dislike my surgeon. I do not like the way kaiser is operating their bariatric follow up. He came into see me, and was ready to  walk out within TWO FREAKING MINUTES...

Strange pain - I woke up this morning (woke up is the wrong term because i dont think i ever went to sleep) with pain in my right side, maybe 4" above where my incisions are. It feels a little li...

Most people (if not everyone) gains anywhere from 5-15 lbs from...

OMG i'm sooo glad to hear from you!!! I'm glad you didn't have...

Usually once you start the process, and weigh in initially, they won't...

I can't find anyone who's crazy surgeon glued them back together...

Do you have stitches? I have some weird glue stuff that has mostly...

Steep learning curve but LESSON LEARNED - I've been drinking solely Premier shakes and drinking propel/G-2. I can chug those pretty much - they go right through my stomach (and by chug I mean 10oz an hour lol) and have not...

One week post -op! - I cant believe I made it a whole week. Boy, has it been up/down/up/down all week. One minute, I feel great, the next I feel like crap! I have no idea about how much weight ive l...

Should I be concerned? - I'm 6 days post-op, and I drank an 11oz shake in 1 hour 20 minutes. I was just sipping, sipping, and then I realized I finished it. I don't feel anything - no discomfort, or an...

Sweeettt!!!!

You are an amazingly strong person!!! Your strength is not the...

Yay! I've been so bored at home, I've been thinking about getting a...

It's going to be okay! I hope you'll let us know how it goes! I'll be...

Doing better - Had a major case of dizzyness this morning, but decided just to lay down for a while. I finally switched from drinking propel to gatorade and that seemed to solve a lot. I've be...

On to "full liquids" - I've been cleared to start full liquids. This includes some greek yogurt and pudding. When "eating" things like yogurt and pudding, does that qualify as food, and do I need to w...

Really tough day- back in the ER :( - Today just plain sucked. Yesterday, I managed about 60 oz of fluid, including water, broth, and clear protein. But it wasn't enough. I didn't pee ALL day until late at night, a...

What happens if you drink too much/too fast? - I'm 3days post-op, and i've been doing my best to sip, sip and sip some more. Yesterday, I got about 40g of protein in with a 20oz isopure, and about 30 oz of other fluids (mainly ...

Feel great - I managed to crawl in my bed last night and sleep from about 11:00 - 2:00 am. It took me 2 hours to fall asleep though. When I woke up, my stomach hurt from the awkward kind of bac...
