Love this...thanks for sharing!

Thank you all for your comments. It does hurt when family makes "fat" comments. But we can overcome them and be the stronger person. No secrets here really to the weight loss. Just stick to the plan, but I never have bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. I keep to less than 40g of carbs per day and more than 70 g of protein. That's what has worked for me. I use myfitnesspal.com to keep track of everything. I do need to exercise more, just trying to find the time! No excuse I know, but before I know it the day is over! Good luck to you all! This is a great journey!

You are just beginning this journey and you will succeed. You have already taken the first giant step to do that. Unfortunately our society makes the overweight feel bad and unaccepted. We can choose to let them make us feel that way or we can choose to be the "bigger" person. No pun intended. Your self confidence will return as you start to see the changes your body will take from here on. Your going to do great! Best wishes to you!

I am day 6 post-op and I am feeling better each day. My incisions too were the least of my worries compared the pain at the port site. I still have a dull pain, feels like bruising at the left side of my stomach when moving around. Its just weird. I have had no nausea/vomiting and tolerating the liquids fine. I am on full liquids now until day 14 then can go to pureed/mushy stage. Yea for tuna salad and chicken salad with light mayo! In the first few days after surgery I was definitely second guessing the whole thing but I admit it has gotten better. Good luck to you!

No nausea or vomiting. Just real tenderness at incision sites and sneeing or coughing is painful. The gas pains are bad too. Still today having those. Each day has gotten better though.

Day 3 and you can have chicken noodle soup already? If so Im excited! I am 1 day post op and dreading liquids only again tomorrow.
