Checking in. Surgery went well. Feeling much better today. Didn't sleep well so I'm real tired. Not hungry at all. Finding it hard to get all the fluids in. I've been walking- trying to move has around. They say I'm doing good tho and might go home tomorrow.

I hope Happychica101 and all my other buddies are doing good. We are on the other side now. ????????????

HappyChica- hope this great improves your IIH. I have intractable Migraines and clusters and doc thinks I may have IIH even though lp was normal. I'm going back and forth between bypass and sleeve - my surgeon recommends bypass. Seen some nice stats for WLS and migraines and IIH. Good luck!!

How are my fellow June 24th friends doing? I'm feeling better every day. I've been following the plan and logging everything. Still on full liquids through Sunday. Two ounces, 3 times a day. Mostly strained cream of chicken Soup. I made an ice cube tray of this and beef broth. Also used ice cube tray for Jello. Drinking Premier Protein drinks. I also bought cocotein fruit punch flavor Water which I liked before surgery but now find super sweet. I'm doing better at getting all my Water in.

Still a little sore but I can't complain. Not really hungry which is so surprising to me. I still think about the junk foods now and then but it's not unbearable. I'm learning about my new little stomach, can't believe two ounces fills her up!

Having some issue with bruising and swelling where I'm taking blood thinner shots in my lower stomach. I was worried because there were hard nodules under these massive black and blue marks. I went into surgeons office to have them checked. They said I'm just a bleeder. But to put ice packs on them and watch to make sure they don't become painful. All my incision spots are looking good. I'm very happy with the surgeons work!

Weight was slow going first few days. Full of gas and fluids. They said it's normal. But I'm 12 lbs down since pre-surgery weight so I'm happy! Hope to hear from you all soon!!

Happychica101.... How are you doing?. Just thinking about you and the other late June surgery buddies!

We are 3+ weeks out. I'm still on puréed foods. 2 oz. three times a day. Sometimes I feel a little down because food was a big comforter to me. But it passes. I'm feeling so much better every day. I'm drinking two premier Proteins a day and taking my Vitamins so all is well. Clothes getting loose. Down. 31 lbs. Yay!

Hope everyone is doing good and hope to hear from you soon!!
