pattiecakes79 3 Posted May 18, 2014 It is very exciting but also understandably scary. For years now I have had to endure so many challenges. I was molested as a child (that's when I started getting a bit chubby) then my first husband was killed right before my very eyes and lastly I had severe post-partum depression. I have been working so so hard internally for many years. I have been blessed to be able go share my story and help others. Now it's time for the external me. When I think about it, one word comes to mind, RESTORATION. How about you guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomorrow I'll be 1 week post op. Feeling pretty good. It's so bizarre to only eat 2 oz at a sitting but that is all my new stomach allows. I still have incision pulling and a little pain but it's totally under control. Good luck to this weeks group. 2 Pretty Blue 1969 and MommaD88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty Blue 1969 0 Posted May 18, 2014 What dr in san Antonio are you using.. Hi Patticakes my surgeon is Dr Harnish at Ft Sam Houston Hospital. I've been on a liquid diet almost 2 full weeks, the day of surgery will be 2 weeks. I've been faithful and haven't cheated on the restrictions. I've dropped 15 # as of yesterday. It hasn't been easy, at times extremely difficult but I figured if I cheat on the diet, I cheat myself. How about you? Where are you from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a Cathadetation so never was able to wear any of the stuff I brought to the hospital. I highly recommend Chapstick. My lips were so dry afterward. Good luck tomorrow.
