jjinWA 511 Posted June 22, 2014 The first three days after surgery I was very tired. In fact the 3 rd day I slept much of the day. Then I turned the corner on my recovery and I am back to my normal self, like I never had the surgery. Just going about my activities like normal. Love it! 2 m_rose and QuuenRule reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLawre2 30 Posted June 22, 2014 3 days to go!! I'm freaking out because I am worried about my liver not shrinking enough. Probably shouldn't be worried seeing that I have lost 25 pounds on my own. I guess since I am not scared of the surgery, I had to find something to freak about. This is what I get for reading stuff on the Internet about surgeon's closing people up for having fatty livers. I think you need to relax you are going to be fine. You have done an awesome job on your weight loss so far. I only lost 7lbs before surgery and I didn't get turned away. Everything is going to work out for you ; ) 1 m_rose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only lost 3 lbs. and my doc said what shrinks your liver is the 24 hour liquid diet before surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtickle 295 Posted June 22, 2014 Thanks for all the encouragement. My family and friends can tell me it's going to be alright and love the support they are giving me. Support from people who understand what I am going thru is a lot different. We are all in this together. 1 m_rose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the age of 60 I do not expect to keep up with the younger crowd and know that my weight loss will be slower. That's ok. Steady as she goes!!! HW 226. SW 220 . CW. 212.
