Queen P 112 Posted December 28, 2014 I had my surgery December 17th.. and since then I have lost 19 pounds. 6 pounds pre op and 13 pounds post op. It has not been too bad, but a MAJOR lifestyle change. I cannot wait until I get over the pain of the surgery so I can feel somewhat normal. I go back to the doctor January 8th and a pray to God that my Vitamin levels are ok. I have been getting all my supliments down but the Protein is sooo hard. I am sooo glad I had the surgery. I am.so ready to become healthy and stay that way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got my breakdown out of the way last week . Fortunately, water isn't a problem for me. I was having some issues and got scanned for a leak yesterday and no leak . But back to Clear Liquids and skim milk for 2 more weeks. Hungry! And pain in the largest incision. Other than that - doing good. I completely understand how you feel - but the worst is behind us! We should stay in touch PM me and I'll give my email if you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surrey1987 12 Posted December 30, 2014 Hi both, I also had surgery on 17th! Looks like you're both doing well, I've lost 18lbs now but only 3lbs post op. Was hoping for a bit more but can see a massive difference in the mirror so am happy with that. I've not had a melt down yet but everyday is a learning curve and I also find it hard to get Water down! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queen P 112 Posted December 30, 2014 @@surrey1987 thank you so much and congrats to you! How is your pain from the surgery? I was starting to feel somewhat normal then the pains started again but I started my cycle so I am wondering if that has something to do with it! Not anything too bad!
