Well as of 11/3/2011 I will be one week post-op ive gotta say it hasnt been too bad. I have had very little pain mostly some back pain which i believe was from the gas. I was suposed to be on clear liquids all week but i did cheat a little and had a couple bites of chicken yesterday but i chewed and chewed and chewed and chewed I just had to have something. I also started drinking "full" liquids to get more protein in. Since surgery as of today I am down 9 pounds which puts me down a total of 45 since i started my 6 mo supervised diet. I started at 385 pounds and am sitting at 340. I still cant wait to lose more and see where this path takes me. I always joke that i've never been small except when I was newborn lol. My entire childhood I was the over weight child and that just continued on through school and into my adult phase in life. I am praying that things go well for me. I actually can not wait to be able to start back to the gym and really get to working on this. My twin is about to start her 2nd week of the liver shrinking diet she is scheduled for 11/10 we will actually have some time off together which we never get bc of our jobs. I'vs started trying on clothes that I havent a) never been able to wear or b ) havent been able to wear in a while and i am amazed at how things are fitting. well thats my thoughts for today Ill be back tomorrow after my 1 week follow apt.
