not sleeping tonite

Just went to bed at 10:30, but by 12:00 was up again. I'm having some pain in my right thigh and leg when I lay

down(don't know what thats all about). Just took some advil PM. just hoping it make me sleepy. This is the 12th day post-op. Not having any pain, not really too hungry yet, haven't even miss my diet coke that I have been hooked on for years. Hope this doesn't past.

I have been surprised that my husband has been so supportive of me so far, but fear he will get tire of me not cooking any more. Food has been one the most important things for us.

I went to my check up this week and all was fine I had lost 14.7 lbs since my pre-op vist. My pre-op weight was 301!!!!! Thats my highest ever weight. Want to get down to 140-150 lbs. I can't even imagine what that would be like. I don't remember being that small since high school, many, many moons ago.

I just want to be able to excerise, climb stairs, walk, play with my grandkids without getting sob. I want to buy clothes in regalur department. I'm excited about this new journey that I have began. I know its a long road but I'm trying to be postive.

Hi, I can relate with everything you shared - I started at 307 heaviest I've ever been and now down to as of last week 292. I believe I have lost weight since then but I don't want to go on the scale just yet. I too have the problem of water. Trying to figure out what to eat is a biggie. I had my surgery on 20th March so I'm now in the mushie stage. Any ideas?

I forgot to mention, my dr. told me not to use Advil because it will end up giving you an ulcer. You should tylenol liquid xtra strength - it really works. I have sciatica and use it almost everyday.
