Yay Jerzi!! Congrats... Is it like u expected?

It's better than I thought it would be. I needed pain meds as soon as I woke up and they worked wonders. Now, it's 2:30 am and I am only on Torradol-nothing really crazy.

Even though my surgery is not till September, (thanks blue cross & blue shield) my surgeon said I would not be on liquid diet before the surgery. I am not sure if that's because I have a low BMI or that's just how he runs things. I considered myself lucky.

I'm pretty frustrated that for the last week and a half my weight toggles between 248 and 251. I was losing about a lb a day and I've been stuck at the same weight for a week and a half. And I'm not understanding how I can gain 3 lbs when I can barely eat. I ate half of a meat ball last night and a few bites of potatoes. Grrrr! I hope my body isn't done losing weight cuz that's a lot if money for 30 lbs.

My weight has been fluctuating by a pound the past couple days too. I'm sure it'll even itself out.

How do you manage just having the fluids? Don't you get hungry?

In my preop diet I did get hungry and I did have headaches the first week. BUT the second week was much better and a lot easier. And now... My stomach never growls but I know I'm hungry when my stomach just feels empty. It's hard to explain until you experience it.

So ur loss has slowed down too?
