What's Up With Liquids?

[sandy.lyons 5]

I had my surgery last Friday, May 25. I have been on liquids only, just as instructed. I have not limited my liquids, but I am sure that must be a LOT less than what I used to eat. I haven't really lost anything, but you would think I would have lost something not eating any solids. I know it is a slow process, but really! I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this? I am looking forward to soft food on Saturday.

Also how do you get the little weight ticker at the bottom of your posts?

Thanks!

Sandy

Sandy, I lost about 4 pounds since my surgery Wednesday, but I honestly think it is because I was in SOOOO much pain, I could barely even drink! I think I was dehydrated! I had horrible pain in my back of all places, not my stomach or shoulder. I think it was becuase of the way they had me positioned on the operating table. I lost those four pounds in the first three days post-surgery and haven't budged since! Don't worry too much, the first six weeks are for healing, not losing! You will lose soon enough!

This is a journey...and now is your time to focus on healing from your surgery. Remain compliant with your surgeon's instructions, and you will see progress!

At the end of my post, if you "click" on my "ticker", it will take you to the site where you can design one to your preferences. Just follow the prompts...

Good luck!

I expect all of you all to be telling me this in 2 weeks okay! Surgery date is June 13th. Starting liquids tomorrow, well when I awake in the morning.
