Hey y'all! I'm doing good. Losing about a pound a day. At the soft food stage. My stomach has been handling everything just fine. Haven't gotten sick once! I felt good enough to join a gym this week. Super yay! I'm REALLY excited to be gaining more energy!

My bathroom activity has been troubled quite a bit tho. :(

Dealing with a bit of head hunger at times and cravings still. But I haven't strayed from my diet.

That's all I can say for now. Thank you guys for checking in on me!

All I can say is thankfully that discomfort went away within a few days. But I will say I was unprepared for how it would feel. It reminded me of when I was pregnant for my first daughter and I carried REAL high so it was hard to take a breath. That's what it felt like post op. and the morphine only took the edge off that kind of pain. I had one sleepless night. And was ill tempered as a result!!

I'm really doing well. Still no issues.. Yay! It's not severe, but I have periodically felt sorry for myself. I know it's just a phase. And I feel bad for feeling that way. But i still follow the rules. And this week I was able to complete an hour long Zumba class THREE TIMES!!

You will!

I was at an event today and got my first dose of attention on account of the weight loss. It was weird. For someone who is comfortable around groups of people, I didn't know what to do or how to react! Lol!

Surgery was May 15 - down over 50. Yesterday I had to attend a funeral while I am out of town. I brought a couple of dresses and a pants suit in case of dressy events (size 20). I tried on my clothes and they all fell off. I was shocked... Had to run to Belks and pick up a dress. Imagine my surprise when I bought a size 14 even though the sales person thought I should have gotten the 12. People at the Funeral constantly complimented everything. It was almost overwhelming the amount of attention that I received... New days - got to learn to Rock this sleeve & new body.... Blessings Y'all!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
