Hey all ya new members!! Hi to those who have been chatting with me since I joined!

I figured I would finally show some pics! The pre op pic was June 2012 and surgery was June 2013. No change really in weight between those times. I didn't take immediate pre op pics, and haven't been documenting it much.

Girl you look fantastic!! I'm so proud of you! Had my surgery on Tuesday - back home today. 1st day was really rough but been steadily getting better every day. You give me so much motivation to keep going with the hope that I can look as good as you do at just a few months out!

[Chanvita 22]

How are you doing Beachbum? Hope all is well.

Hey girlie - I'm doing great! Hard to believe that I have gotten this much better this fast. I've already passed my Fluid requirements for today and have to get in 20 more grams of Protein for the day and I haven't had my "dinner" yet! Like I said - the 1st day was rough because of all the gas but really pushed myself to walk alot and sipped like crazy once I was allowed. Each day is like 100% better than the day before. 1st couple of days had to be really careful because sometimes I was taking too big sips and that would be uncomfortable - same thing if something was too cold or too hot. Not painful - I was just aware that I had pushed the envelope! Today I am back to drinking pretty much exactly as before the surgery - no itty bitty sips or anything. Am still using my baby spoon to eat my sugar free jello! I can sleep on my side (haven't tried belly yet) and I've already been taken off my metformin. Testing my sugar twice a day right now and it's almost too low last couple of days - have to drink a Gatorade to get it back up to 80 or so. How much longer till your surgery? Just know that each day will be better than the day before and you will be fine!

Oh and I had my 1st sneeze today - that was interesting but just hold on to that belly and you'll be fine!
