    That's wonderful!! None of the hoops to jump through...my insurance process and nut visits, psych evals, 12 week diet and exercise, from the 1st seminar to the day of my surgery was 8 months!!! So everyone that went through so quickly...y'all are the lucky few!!! Good luck:)

    My guidelines say "limit" caffeine, I've had my regular unsweetened tea with Splenda since the day I came home post op! I don't drink massive amounts probably 8-12oz a day!! I'm still losing weight, so far about a pound a day!!

    Hi Kim 2002 I'm so..... glad to be on this site' date=' looking forward to meeting great people who can relate to what I'm going through. Has your recovery been smooth sailing thus far?[/quote']

    Well I've had a few minor things...a blood clot in my arm, and a few days that I've had no energy, but over all it's been pretty good! I've healed up very nicely!! Again welcome!!

    I only had that probem for a day; they gave me ice Water and ice chips in the hospital and that helps with the inflamation initially. I can take in more than a sip now' date=' more like a swig, without any problems. I set my timer for 5 minutes and take a drink of something; I alternate being sure to get enough Protein in. I am on full liquids right now. I wouldn't say anything bad is going to happen, but you'll know if you drink too much at one time, you feel REALLY full when you do, and it hurts a bit; I wouldn't suggest more than 2 ounces at a time. Is this what your doc said?[/quote']

    Good info!!!!

    I'm 9 days post op and I was wondering at this point was it easier for you to swallow liquids!! If I didn't literally sip drops the first 2-3 days it felt like I was swallowing a brick!! Thank goodness now it doesn't hurt at all, but I'm scared that if I swallow to much something is going to happen! Please put my mind at ease and tell me about you "sipping/swallowing" experience!!!

    I would search the boards for this kinda stuff, but I don't have the energy!!! I felt so good like days 3 & 4 but then they found the blood clot in my arm in a superficial vein (I've been worried about that) the last couple days have been an emotional roller coaster! I ask myself "what the hell have I done to myself" I have been getting plenty of fluids in and I've drank my shakes, but I feel only having less than 600 calories is catching up to me....

    On one positive note my belly swelling has gone down and the soreness is getting better!! Yesterday I started the cRaZy hiccuping :( which feels like my esophagus is going to explode!!! And sneezing feels like the stitch on the left side (that's way deep) feels like someone took a match and lit me on fire on the inside!!

    I am so dedicated to losing this weight, my heart and mind are set and they are right place, I know that these are just TINY LITTLE road blocks, the emotions, the moodiness but I think it's all part of this journey!!! This is reality, this is my life my life now and I have to take it one day at a time!!! But what a heck of a ride its going to be!!!

    The husband and kids are great but of course they don't understand the whole experience, this consumes you... Mind, body and soul!!!!

    Hoping for a more peaceful day, got my Water jug next to me, my iPad and headphones:)

    It will get better!!!!
