DayByDay 123 Posted February 12, 2013 I'm February 25th. I'm supposed to start my low carb diet today, but i started last week. I figured it couldn't hurt. I have a goal of loosing 53lbs before surgery, not sure I'm going to make it. So far I'm down about 44. I'm just ready for it to be over so I can move onto the next phase.

Zanygirl83 5 Posted February 13, 2013 I am now starting day 3 pre-op. I am doing OK I had a little slip up the first night but I think I was trying to be an over achiever. The second day/night proved to be alot easier once I was more realistic. Good luck ladies my goal is 10 pounds pre op. seeing as I gained 4 pounds in the process of consult/authorization. I would like to be 10 pounds lighter than my highest which was Monday morning. Which btw is the highest I will ever be again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayByDay 123 Posted February 27, 2013 Well I made it though the surgery. I only had one scary moment. The nurse was having problems putting in my IV and I just about passed out. I guess my heart rate dropped into the 30s. Made everyone nervous. Anyway, they tried a different vein and I was fine. Surgery went on as planned. My vitals were good enough to send me home. Went back today to get some fluids. Feeling okay as long as I keep taking my pain meds. Getting Water down is challenge. I came within 5lbs of my surgery goal weight. I lost 48lbs since the start of this process. I hope everyone has a speedy recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woman in me 307 Posted February 28, 2013 My dr wants me on Clear Liquids for 1 week post op but I'm doing pretty well. Stomach is pretty bruised. Has anyone weighed yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zanygirl83 5 Posted February 28, 2013 I did weigh yesterday, I am not sure how to count days post op I had surgery Monday so yesterday would be to me 2 days post op, but some are considering it 3 so idk. Anyway I was 6 pounds lighter from morning of surgery to when I come home last night and got a shower. I promised myself I would not be scale crazy and weigh myself everyday so I didn't I am going to wait until Monday again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvs2laff 3 Posted February 28, 2013 Sleeved 2-25 and I must say I'm overwhelmed. Rocked the 2 week pre op clear liquids but this part is rough. I though my c sections would have been worse. Oh well, pushing through. Got 4 oz Protein down this am and did my shot, and walked the grocery store. Just want a huge glass of water! Tried another 4 oz protein and couldn't keep the sips down. Ready for a nap!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayByDay 123 Posted February 28, 2013 My dr wants me on clear liquids for 1 week post op but I'm doing pretty well. Stomach is pretty bruised. Has anyone weighed yet? I weighed, just out of curiosity. I've gained 10lbs. Not a huge surprise as they have pumped me full of fluids. I'm on full liquids and have no problem getting my Protein down. Just takes a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
