aliandrews 98 Posted December 12, 2011 Oh my goodness, I have lost 13 pounds. 7 pre op and 6 more post op. THe discomfort is getting better, although it hurts to bend over and I sneezed earlier which hurt. I am still sleeping on the couch because it is uncomfortable in the bed and I don't want my hubby to roll over and hit my stomach. Also I am very tired of the clear liquid diet. Hopefully at the Dr. visit on Thursday he will change me to full liquids.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliandrews 98 Posted December 16, 2011 Today was my one week post op visit with my Dr. They weighed me and it showed that I have lost 20 pounds. He told me that i could go on a full liquid diet this weekend. I am really tired of the whole liquid diet. I am not craving anything, but just want something different. I only have a small pain near one of my incisions, but I mainly have discomfort. I can't sleep in the bed with my husband because the bed is uncomfortable. I am sleeping on the couch. Hopefully that will change soon. I want things to go back to normal soon. I know it will take time, but I want to resume normal activities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PetCleric 0 Posted December 18, 2011 Hi! Another Tennessee sleever here :-) I had surgery on October 4th, so I'm about 10 1/2 weeks out. Pre- and post-op combined I'm down 56 pounds. Woohoo! My surgeon is Dr Spaw, and I couldn't have been happier with my surgery experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aliandrews 98 Posted December 19, 2011 Hi guys! My surgery is scheduled for this Wednesday 12/21 with Dr. Olsen in Nashville Hey, that's awesome. I had mine with Dr. Houston, who is in the same office as Dr. Olson. They are a great group. Good luck to you and maybe we will run into each other at some point.

Good luck to you and maybe we will run into each other at some point. Thank you so much! I am familiar with Dr. Houston, he was my surgeon at the beginning of this journey before I switched over to Dr. Olsen. Hopefully we will run in to each other at one of the support groups Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliandrews 98 Posted January 1, 2012 Hey everyone, I am close to four weeks post op and have started my stage 3 diet of soft foods. It's going pretty well so far. I have lost 22 pounds and am quite happy. I could only eat one egg and nothing else this morning. I had some chicken with cheese and sour cream for lunch. I am not all that hungry. I guess that's the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
