Hi everyone. Just wanted to check in. I had my surgery on May 7th. I'm on full liquids and am doing great with getting my liquids and Protein in. It gets easier, I promise! I'm still in quite a bit of pain on the left side, which may be nerve damage from a slipped drain. We are just watching it now and hoping it eases up. Part of it, I'm sure, is having four kids and not resting as I should. I'm down 11 pounds from surgery weight, 29 from pre op diet start. My clothes are definitely fitting better! Also, I have completely stopped snoring!

Sorry I haven't been around that much. I keep getting annoyed with myself. After months of waiting and thinking of practically nothing but this surgery, my mind is exhausted. Lol! I'm reading along and cheering you all on, though.

So, I can officially say I'm starting to loose. I lost 16 pounds just on the pre-op diet, but I gained 10 in the hospital from all the fluids. I've finally lost that 10 plus 1.....so am I done just 1 lb? or 17? Either way, I'm down so I guess it doesn't matter. Yeah.....I'm told it only gets better from here....also, today is my last day of full liquids, start Puree stage tomorrow. Never thought I'd be so excited about putting cottage cheese in my mouth.
