cilliworks 8 Posted February 17, 2014 LindsayHeth I am exactly where you are, but am afraid to weigh myself ! I am afraid no weight loss will discourage me. So, I am hoping my body is not letting me down. It's all down hill from there ladies, I am on my last 12 hours and I am down 20lbs in 15 days from the liquids. So tomorrow morning is D day. Stay strong in the end it will be worth it. Cheers to you both you can do it. Prays are with you both.Thank you! Congrats! You are almost there! Keep up the good work and keep me updated on how it's going for you!Thanks and sure thing I will keep you posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizNola 25 Posted February 17, 2014 Morning all- day 6 in recovery. 10 pounds down (after gaining 5 after surgery). It's crazy, I would have had to bust my butt and diet hard for well over a month to drop that amount. Kind of ready to move on to more solid food, but thrilled that this process is working. Gas pains almost gone, but still swollen in abdomen area. Good luck and blessings to all going into surgery today! 1 SuperFab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted February 17, 2014 Wow, I am glad to say I am back among the living. The surgery on Feb. 10th kicked my butt big time. I ended up staying in the hospital and extra day due to having so much lung congestion. I was on breathing treatments around the clock and I was in a lot of pain. I came home last Thursday and each day has shown significant improvement. I started on the full liquids on Sunday and that made a tremendous difference. Of course my appetite came back so it was much easier to get the fluids and shakes down. I had 6 incisions and all are doing well except for one which is very very painful. I keep having sharp cutting pains when I move quickly or try to pull my self out of the recliner or bed. Other than that I now feel terrific and I have started walking my 30 minutes per day. I am going back to work tomorrow. For all of those about to have surgery, don't worry, you can do this. The first few days I kept thinking WTH have I done to myself but now on my 1 week anniversary... I feel positive and motivated. Life is good.
