8 oz of Grape Juice, 24 oz of water, 1/2 a Premier Protein Shake ( saving the other 1/2 for supper ) and 1/2 container of sugar-free chocolate pudding...just started my full liquids yesterday tho...everyone else's sounds much better than mine!

I was lying on the stretcher after having my iv put in and started wondering when they were gonna come in the room & get my stuff going for anesthesia & literally the next thing I knew, I was waking up in my bed, post-op....it was just that easy....

I had my VSG on May 18 & found out that afternoon that I had a hiatal hernia, moderately sized, that was repaired also. I went to Piedras Negras, Mexico & had my surgery performed by the amazing Dr. Guillermo Alvarez and his fabulous team. I have had a pretty good experience so far, short of some abdominal soreness, but I've been trying to make it through without breaking down and using up my pain meds. I'm back at work & finding that by wearing my much loathed girdle, its actually helping prevent some of the jiggly soreness I'm officially down 12 lbs since starting the pre op diet 1 week before my surgery & I'm working on not stepping on those scales everyday, but it's a hurdle that's gonna take me a while to get over.

I got sleeved on May 18th & went home & started watching the Food Network also! It was so crazy, I haven't watched that channel in months & now it's on my favorite list...I too watched Guy as I sip, sip, sipped on my clear liquids...very strange indeed...I'm sure it means I'll be needing lots of therapy to get down this road...
