My story

[cdodge 0]

I began this journey last summer. Fast forward......January 31st, I began my two weeks of liquids. I thought I was going to die the first 24 hours. After that, it became much easier. I wasn't hungry at all. I know that sounds crazy, but I really wasn't. I drank a low carb Protein Shake for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also drank crystal light all day. For dinner I would have low sodium veggie broth or low sodium chicken broth. I have Jello twice and a sugar free popsicle over the two weeks.

The day of surgery I had lost 17.5 lbs!

Feb. 14th. I had to be at the hospital at 12:00. Of course when you are not scheduled first thing in the morning, it WILL be delayed. I didn't go in until mid afternoon. I didn't get into my room until around 6:00pm. The next day was a blur. I slept most of the day. Going to have my barium swallow was painful, as I still felt drugged...but I did it.

My doctor came to see me in the morning, and told me if I could hold jello down, I could go home. On Wednesday I was able to do that and I left the hospital around 1:00pm. I went immediately to the couch and took a nap. I was in bed at 7:00pm for the night.

Thursday, Feb 17th. I felt like a new woman. I took a shower and took off my bandages (I had bathed, but not showered) and there were my 7 sterie strips! I walked out to the mailbox, and walked around the house alot. I could feel that the gas was moving more. I didn't sleep at all during the day, and because of the gas, I had a hard time sleeping last night. A friend stopped by and brought me a bullet shaker to make smoothies. I put three ice cubes along with 5 oz of Protein shake. I thought I was having a milk shake! I had broth for dinner and felt much better!

It is Feb. 18th. I am down 20lbs since January 31st.

I still feel this is not real. I feel great, and am at the weight when I married my husband. I am SO looking forward to loosing more weight, making healthy choices, looking and feeling FAB!
