How's everyone's Sunday? I am in much less pain as of yesterday, and managed to walk the entire mall with my mom and 8 year old son. No pain pills since yesterday afternoon. The soreness has significantly subsided. I have not been humgry this week, but it may be because my doctor prescribed pepcid for me to take every day. I do have trouble getting all of my protein shakes down- I really don't like them and they tend to "come back up" in my throat. I am learning how big a gulp I can take without it being uncomfortable. I am SO looking forward to being able to take my first bite of pureed food, how sad is that? Only you guys would understand my excitement...LOL. Anyway, I am thinking of you all this holiday season and hoping it's the best it can be under our circumstances. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Hi Guys- I am home and resting comfortably. Percoset is my new best friend... LOL

Think about it this way- if WLS wasn't a good option for people who are emotional eaters- NO ONE would be getting the surgery. We all wear our feelings/emotions right where everyone can see them- on our stomach, thighs, etc. KWIM? Good luck!!!!

Hi Ladies & guys!!!! I am also scheduled or surgery on the 17th. Nice to meet all of you! My surgeon doesn't require a pre-op diet- I must be one of the lucky ones. I just have to fast the night before. I have also been struggling all of my life with my weight, but have managed to lose 30 lbs prior to surgery. I am excited about this new chapter, but nervous for the actual surgery. Anyone else?
