I didn't get small utensils, I just make sure I don't fill the spoon, And with soup I just dip the spoon and eat what stays on spoon. Small bites. I did get a few like 4oz bowls.. I have started to get where I don't have to measure, just know the line to go to on the bowl. All the prep before...

Just went thru all that myself! And boy is it normal! I was very emotional the day before, and day of surgery... but now, I am 2 weeks post op. today! I have been lucky. I had no complications during surgery, and I have had an easy time with food toleration! (Almost too easy I think). I...

I was raised in San Jose. I live in the Valley now. But close! I had my surgery in Fremont on aug 14. I am 10 days post op. and I am feeling really good! I had the gastric bypass.

Hey Buddy! How you doing today?

That is Great Sonya! That is what I love about these surgeries the most, the drastic change in medications. Especially diabetic. Its just so awesome! Keep it up! I am one week post op, and I am feeling great! No troubles at all. Keep in touch!

I am a week post op, so far my only exercise is walking, I am up to a mile as of yesterday. What other exercise should/could I be doing? My pain is minimal to none, so far no complications what so ever. I feel I should be doing more.

Does anyone know if I can eat eggs?? I was thinking either hard boiled mashed up, or poached, or maybe soft scrambled. Let me know what you think, and any ideas.

Don't forget you have a lot going on with your healing body! I wouldn't worry about the weight yet. Just keep truckin.... I am 2 days out. And still in pain, and trying to get my protein down. the protein is the hardest for me so far. Everything else goes down fine

Hi Sis!! Haven't heard from you in so long! I was beginning to think you gave up on us. How are you doing? Today for me has gone well so far. Although as I am sitting here on the pc typing, I am doing my first protein supplement mix... not sure its gonna go nicely! We will see, Ima take it...

It is 4 am here. Surgery went well. As planned. I have been walking often. Ice chips are my best friend. I sleep about 1hr at a time. Then start the cycle again. Now it's road to recovery and my new life as a person, not a fat person!

I ACTUALLY SLEPT! My nerves are cooler than I thought they would be! I am up, showered and ready to go! See ya all on the flip side!

Here I am. Night before surgery. Surprisingly, my nerves are not too bad off. But I still think I won't be sleeping much tonight. Plus this "bowel prep" which hasn't been bad at all (prolly cuz haven't eaten nothin in two weeks) but its still lingering a bit. Thanks all for the advice and...

I can't imagine waking up to it not being done! That had to be devastating! Although, I am glad that the surgeon just didn't go thru with it, and had a possible bad out come! Just keep on with the diet plan, and you will be great. Even if it takes a bit longer, it is for YOUR health!

Did he give you any pre op instructions?

Went to the pre op appt. today. And I know its all the formality. But it's scarry stuff!! AND... Nobody told me about the fun night before treatment I have to do! Cleaning out the poopies... UGH! NOT looking forward to that. Part of me is thinking "why am I putting myself thru this????" "I...

So tomorrow, 8-9, is my pre-op appt. Then I have my surgery on Wed august 14, I am nervous and excited! Any ideas of last minute questions I should ask the doc, or ideas of things to prepare for after the surgery to make life more simple!

So I just finished my 5th day of my 2 week pre surgery diet. And tonight I am having cravings. Not really cuz I am hungry. But I am craving salty things. I have never really been a salty food eater. So this is odd. I have been very good this whole time. Absolutely nothing but my shakes, reg...
