OMG.... Today was my last day to eat anything I wanted before my 2 week liquid diet starts tomorrow and I wasn't really hungry go figure lol I had french vanilla coffee with whipped cream for Breakfast, a corndog with a few chili cheese fries for lunch, and I had no clue what I wanted for dinner so I let my kiddos pick so it was off to mcdonald's for a big mac meal for mommy and a happy meal for my boys what a great way to spend the day with the guys that mean the most to me in my life

Hi guys! I'm seven hours out from my surgery and I'm surprised how fine I am. I'm starved and thirsty but I've decided this is the best thing for me. I'm so tired of fighting the weight battle with no real success. I pray this tool will help me like it has with so many others.

Good luck to my surgery buddies today!! :-).

Do the same thing as you said with walking honestly it makes recovery so much easier when you purposely walk. Sitting around will make you even more tired on top of the surgery recovery and lack of calories. I am post op day 5 trust me it gets better.

Walk walk walk. I am day 4 post op and I feel good! Off my pain meds and I make sure to rest but constantly get up and walk around the house and I make sure to get my own Water, broth, etc just to keep my body moving and walking

Thank you I have been trying to get up every hour and walk seems like the pressure on my stomach hurts,more when I walk but I know it must be done. I am hoping to lose my lazy with the fat

I am post op day four feeling great I have been walking on the treadmill and relaxing. I am having a hard time getting liquids because I am just so full. It also hurts a bit when the liquid hits my stomach. All and not bad at all I expected this to be ten times worse! Post op visit is tomorrow I gained like 5 lbs in the hospital from all the IVF so I am hoping I have she'd those and more by tomorrow. Keep the faith guys it gets better!

Hope it gets better, Give it time! I thought this would be 10x harder too!! Try different temperature fluids and sip slow.

Good idea karma I moved all my meds and things to the kitchen so I would have to get up and I started a journal to keep track of when to take what it is to hard to keep track of all of it unless I write it down
