Mio is my new addiction!!!! I bought peach tea, sweet tea, mango peach and fruit punch....not a fan of the fruit punch but I love, love love all the others. They really help me get my water in since for some reason I just can't handle plain water after the surgery. I also like that you can control how much you use, unlike crystal light where I feel silly trying to use half a packet.

Hi, I'm a San Diego girl, well a Poway girl. Monday marks three weeks post-op for me.

Thanks! I thought I was losing my mind for a bit there.

Hey folks, This is kinda of a weird question. Last night I had a couple of teaspoons of shredded beets in balsamic vinegar. I'm not a fan of beets in the least, but these were very tasty. I haven't had them in over 20 years and then it was just a bite. Anyway, a few hours later I was itching like a manic! The roof of my mouth, my arms, my legs even my scalp. I took some allergy meds and I felt better. So, the question is: Since food allergies come on fairly quickly, could the surgery have caused a delayed reaction, or am I smoking crack and this is something else entirely?

Hello everybody!! I'm two weeks post-op today and for the most part things are going great. I've already noticed that I have more energy...not sure how much of that is just my mind, you know? But, my afternoon naps are gone. I'm sleeping better too. Exercise is also going well. I'm up to an hour on my treadmill doing variable speed and inclines. Foodwise things are interesting. Clears were ok, full liquids made me a bit crazy, most of the time they were fine, but sometimes I'd drink too much and fell like I'd eaten Thanksgiving dinner! Today was my first day of mushies. I ate a whole egg for breakfast and for lunch some fish mixed with hummus. I tried to eat some tuna salad for a snack and only managed two baby spoons before I was done. I'm starting to have some nauseousness, I'm guessing that's because of the new consistency of the food....nothing major just a wave or two of "ewww". I'm still not consistently drinking my water...I'm good for 50ish ounces most days. But not the 64, that's hard for me to adjust too, 'cause before the sleeve I could knock back a gallon a day. I guess that's it for now, thanks for reading, Tracy

After a very fitful night's sleep. I'm up showered and ready. Just waiting on DH. My new life begins in a few hours!!!!!

All in all my pre-op diet went well. I hope I did enough to get my liver to a manageable size. I keep thinking I should have done more exercise or something.....I'm just so paranoid that the doc will get the instruments in there and my liver is HUGE. Sleep is getting scarce as the day approaches. All my kids have colds and I'm trying like hell not to catch it. Another thing to worry about. My sister will be coming into town tonight to provide an extra layer of kid watching for tomorrow, so that will be fun. I really like when she's around. Really not much to say, I'm just biding time....wow, pretty boring post huh?

WTG !!!!
