Omg guys . Sorry I’ve been gone but the recovery process is real . I could barely keep my eyes open and when I did it headed for the bathroom and a few laps in my yard then back to sleep . Now I’m sitting on the edge of my bed at 2:00 am can’t sleep and listening to my stomach cursing me out

Hi there I’m also 5-22-19 how are you doing on the liquid diet ?

[dshenry61 4]

I don’t start the liquid diet until May 15

Only 2 more days of shakes (hallelujah!!), then one day of clear fluids... woohoo! Had a couple of moments last night of "OMG, what am I doing?" but this morning I am more committed than ever.

On a slightly downer note, I somehow managed to injure my hip/leg yesterday. I have no idea what I did, just that it hurts like mad every time I try to move from sitting to standing and vice versa. I'm trying to work myself up to my usual walking workout but it may not happen today.

You can do it! Take one day at a time. This was a big ordeal (having the operation). We are still sending hunger pains, so it's o ly human that we want more solids.

So glad to hear that you're doing well! Things here are good too, considering it's only been 4 days. Not hitting my Fluid or Protein targets yet, but getting a bit closer every day. Pain is minimal. Thinking I'll switch to regular tylenol today if I need it. Congrats on the 20lbs already! That's so incredible!

We got this!

5 years from now? I see me running after my wee-lings, being a fun and active mom. I see me working in a job where I don't come home in agony at the end of every shift from hauling my huge self around. I see me and my hubs more connected than ever and enjoying ourselves together without questioning my ability to keep up with him. I see me still enjoying cooking for my family, but not being obsessed by it.

Thank you!! My dr said your first month they have a goal . But realistically Most can reach it . Just do as much as you can and take your Vitamins youll be fine! My pain has calmed down a lot. My pain mostly comes from heart burn and acid reflux from Water lol

[MrsGamgee 756]

Yeah, my RD said that for the first 2 weeks, my only real goal is fluids, anything else is a bonus. Figuring out when to take my meds is part of today's challenge. Can't take my multi + Iron with other meds but I'm supposed to take it with food, yada yada. And getting in a 10 minute walk every 2 hours that I'm awake. Seems small on paper, but they dominate my brain right now.
