    I've been up and walking around! If I get some more fluids in today then they'll take out the iv. My pain is very controlled and really just feels like muscular aches. The surgeon says I'm a model patient, and can't wait to see all of my exciting changes! HW 296 - SW 266

    Hey all! I have been sleeping on and off all day and feel like I tried to do way too many sit-ups, but things went so well!!! They told me I was a champ, so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery! HW 296 - SW ??? - CW 271.5

    I can't believe it's only a week from tomorrow!! It still doesn't seem real. I'm a teacher, so I'll be taking two weeks off from school, followed by a week of April vacation. I have to let my class and their parents know that i'll be out tomorrow. Any advice out there?? HW 296 - SW ??? - CW 274

    Optifast Diet

    Hey all! A lot of people on here talk about optifast, but my hospital has us use new direction. Just wondering if anyone else on here is using that system. Starting my ALL liquid diet today. Two weeks!!!!!!! Wow!

    Yummy!!! Chocolate and coconut sounds like a mounds bar. Ill have to try that one mañana
  15. If you gain more than a half a pound in a day it is almost always water weight. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! And don't beat yourself up over small missteps. This is a long journey. Be mindful, but not hyperfocused to the point that you're not living your life! Head up girl!

    Optifast Diet

    Make a list of things you're excited about being able to do once you start losing weight. A couple weeks of no food will be nothing in comparison

    Optifast Diet

    Pb has fat and carbs that you don't want to mess with for pre op stuff, but just think of yummy smoothies in the future!

    Optifast Diet

    My nutritionist recommended artificial extracts like banana, hazelnut, coconut, etc. it only takes about a teaspoon and has made all the difference for me! I especially like chocolate banana

    I just found this forum! My surgery has been moved up to April 1! I'm sort of in shock... It seemed so far away for so long, and now it's suddenly just around the corner! It's been a roller coaster of emotion, but I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life.
