KAFallin 26 Posted November 16, 2014 Grandma2tweeties - Yes, I did do the pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks. Didn't lose as much as I've seen others lose on here but lost 7 lbs the first week and 4 the 2nd. But like the Dr said, when in my life have I ever lost 11 lbs in two weeks. Answer: NEVER!! I'll weigh myself tomorrow to see how I've done this week. Pretty black dress: Glad it helps! I can tell you, tomorrow is a week since my surgery and I am beyond pleased with how good I feel! I've only had pain (and even that is very slight) from one incision and today that is almost gone. I've had no problems moving or walking. Even went to the mall with a friend and walked around yesterday. Best of luck and I hope your surgery and recovery go well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grandma2tweeties 108 Posted November 17, 2014 Kafallin thanks you do inspire and ease my nerves. Did you get nervous when you were getting close to preop dr date. When you knew it was becoming a reality even though it's what you wanted so bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quest4TheNewMe 225 Posted November 17, 2014 So glad to hear you're doing so well at one week post-op. I'm 3 days post-op and still a bit uncomfortable. I have one incision that's bugging me, the rest feel good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KAFallin 26 Posted November 17, 2014 Grandma2tweeties: I didn't really get nervous until the day before when I was doing laundry and packing! And oddly enough, I wasn't nervous the day of after I got to the hospital. I really didn't have much time...I was in surgery about an hour & 15 mins after I arrived.

Grandma2tweeties 108 Posted November 17, 2014 Kafallin. I'm also of some of my meds do to a mail order pharmacy mess up. Mr dr told me I'd be extra anxious and shaking and easily annoyed. Kinda of sucks in timing. Might be for the best less meds to have during surgery times will be needed too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
