Hey there Joanie.....I am so excited for you. You will be amazed at how well you feel after the surgery. It took me about a week to gain my energy but I actually felt good. I was on a two week pre-op diet but I don't no if that is because I was a larger person then most his patients or if this is just the norm. I will tell you the two weeks were the hardest.

The two weeks were the hardest for hunger but after the 5 day it got much easier. Now I eat about 4 ounces at every meal but to be honest after the 4 ounces I don't even want to put another bite in my mouth. It's a different type of fullness and feels great. If you take the one bite too many you will fill it and it's really an uncomfortable feeling that last a while. I have lost my first week after surgery 18lbs between the pre-op and the one week post it's been 26lbs so far.

I am so excited to hear your story. So please keep me posted.
