Surgery In Less Than 3 Days And I Am Down 11 Pounds

In less than 3 days I will be happy to add Portia to my family (that is going to be the name of my lap band/port system). Portia is Latin for gift and she will be a happy gift for yours truly. I have not felt scared or anxious, just excited. I am ready to get rid of all this excessive baggage that I have carried around like a badge of poor choices and regret. I just wish that I had been able to do this 15 years ago honestly. The pre-op liquid diet continues and with just two more days to go, I have lost 11 pounds. I am thrilled. More than that, I am thrilled that I wont be gaining it back. I understand that in the hospital you get loaded up on fluids from the IV and so forth, so I won't be upset if there is a gain because I know one good pee and it will be gone. LOL. I am not even anxious about the pain involved afterward either, because I know it is temporary and will pass with each day. I am happier than I have ever been about anything and I am ready to change my life and move forward. No more looking back and certainly no more wallowing in how bad I look and feel right now. Good things are ahead for me...and for you as well. Good luck to all of you having surgery this week and Congrats to those who have had it done.

 

Take care,

Jen

i had my surgery just last week, dec 13th. so far so good. the only thing i didnt have with me after surgery that i wished i did was lifesavers !nobody told me how dry mouth and parched i would be afterwards ! i couldnt get enough ice chips down fast enough. i had surgery a 8am and was released at 11am. feeling pretty good, but i just drank propel all day long because i was so dehydrated ! now 6 days later im down 6 lbs, went back to work today. 4 days after surgery i went and did some light christmas shopping. other than being a littlen tired i feel great! cant wait to start seeing results, with a stronger healthier body1 best of luck to you!
