:thumbup: today went by slow but it was a learning day for day 1, drink slow and walk around !!!!! by the end of the day i do feel better then the day before. I keep seeing all these food commercials im like whyyyyy lol, it seems like you dont poay attention to them until you cant have it lol ! hopefull for tomorrow and looking at after pics sure so make me feel more motivated.

:thumbup: great news!!! today is the best day i have felt since coming home !!! I had my first shake today it went down like a champ !!! Vanilla whey yum lol, better than chicken broth, jello and isopure thats for sure lol. On my surgury date I weighed 259Ibs and I am 5"8, today 4 days later I weigh 245Ibs, thats just crazy i havent been doing much walking I feel pretty sore still, but I think the diet really helped clean out my system, still havent taken the kids to the pool lol if you know what i mean, but i am hopeful that it will happen this week sometime:). So Today I feel pretty good, i woke up fresh at 6am, bright eyed and bushy tailed, no coffee ! no tea ! just me !!!! This is a huge difference, before VSG, I would sleep in late, had nooooo energy what so ever and felt like a dump truck just hit me when i would wake up litteraly draggin ass till about 12 or 1pm, then have 2 huge cups of coffee just to get fire under my butt and then feel very anxious and jittery full of energy with no patients lol, my whol attitidue feels different, i can actually say i feel healthy, refreshed and energized i feel like my insides are all clean and running on top notch fuel, my thoughts are more optomistic and i am not getting stressed out as easy. Its like day and night. What a difference you dont realize it until you change and look back and go geez that was me, that is what fast food really does to you in not only hurts your body, grabs you like and addiction, slaps you around but also makes you mentally blahhhhh, i am having the greatest day and today i will remember even in pain from my wounds, i am very happy i made the decision that i did to have the VSG, i havent been so sure but today was that day where you wake up and say thank you god for getting me through the dark, i am finally seeing the light the brighter life that shines on the world. yeay ! :thumbup:

I AM IN ALOTE OF PAIN AND I HAVE SO MUCH GAS STUCK IN ME I FEEL LIKE SHIT !!!! WHEN WLL IT START TO GO AWAY?:001_smile:

WELL MY NAME IS CRYTAL I AM 28 YRS OLD, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN 5 & 9 AND A WONDERFUL HUSBAND. ALL MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN OVERWEIGHT STARTING WHEN I WAS IN THE 3RD GRADE I GOT TEASED ALOTE AND I BEGAN TO LOSE IT WHEN I WAS IN THE 7TH GRADE, I STAYED THIN UNTIL I WAS 19 AND GOT PREGNANT WITH MY DAUGHTER AND I GAINED 70 IBS WITH HER AND THEN 1 YR LATER I LOST THAT DIETING AND WORKING OUT, THREE YRS LATER I HAD MY SON AND GAINED 50IBS WITH HIM AND I HAVE NOT LOST THAT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK TO LOSE THE WEIGHT AND FINALLY I DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DRASTIC TO HELP MYSELF THATS WHEN I WENT TO THE OPTIONS PROGRAM THROUGH KAISER, I GRADUATED FROM THAT AND I MET WITH MY SURGEN AND MY SURGURY IS SCHEDULED FOR MONDAY THE 19TH OF JULY........ OK I AM REALLY EXCITED BUT FEARSLY SCARED LET ME REMIND YOU I HAVE TWO KIDS AND A HUSBAND THAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE LEAVING BEHIND IF SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO ME, BUTTTTTT I HAVE FAITH AND BELEIVE IN GOD AND I KNOW IT WILL ALL BE OK. REASON FOR SURGURY IS ALL OF THE ABOVE BUT MEDICALLY THERE ARE REASONS AS WELL, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH POLYSCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROM IF I DONT LOSE 50+ IBS I COULD DEVELOP CYSTS ON MY OVARIES, AND I HAVE HIGH CHOLESTERAL AND BORDER TILTING DIABETIES. SO THE SURGURY US A WONDERFUL CURE FOR ALL OF THOSE AND THATS WHAT I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO. AFTER MY SURGURY I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE AND PLAYING MORE WITH MY KIDS, NOT HAVING BACK PAIN AND BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY RUN AND JUMP WITH OUT DYING LOL. AS OF NOW I WEIGH 257IBS I AM 5"9 AND I GUESS THATS IT FOR NOW I WILL KEEP MY WEIGHT AND LOGS POSTED. :confused1:
