One of the best decions i've ever made.

Hello everybody, my name is Nicole. I had surgery on 2-24-14. My doctor uses out patient hospital services so I got to come home @ 10pm.

This is most definitely one of the most important choices I've ever made. And I don't mind sounding quite selfish because in fact I did it all for ME!

My stats: 5'6

S/W 272

C/W 254

G/W 140ish

I lost 12lbs in the 2 week preop diet, which was basically the Atkins diet, I was only aloud 40 grams of carbs a day, and had to achieve at least grams of Protein a day. I cut out all caffeine, alcohol and carbonated bevs when I started even though I didn't have, I just made it a lot easier now that I really can't have that stuff.

I'm so excited to finally start this journey. I have been heavy ALL my life. Even looking back at childhood pictures showed me over weight, not just big boned, as some like to say lol.

I love this forum, it's helped me so much.

Thank you to everybody :-)

I had mine done yesterday too..abdomen pain is nagging. Very dry mouth despite drinking. How are you?

[millergirl314 168]

I'm getting better I think, although this cotton mouth is crap! I feel like fire Marshall bill from in living color when I talk cuz my lips just stick to my teeth an gums! And I'm having a lil bit of a problem getting enough Fluid down, every time I take sip and it hits my tummy is cramps really bad. I'm sure it will get better though.

How are you feeling?
