Today I had my 2 wk follow up. Down 16 lbs and I'm allowed to eat soft foods. 4 small bites of chicken salad. Two hours later 3 bites of pimento cheese.< /p>

I was sleeved on the 16th and today was the first day I drove.

My date is the 24th too and these last two days cant go by fast enough. I am one of those people that just wants to get unpleasant events over with as fast and painless as possible. I'm nervous and get short of breath with a racing heart every time I think about the surgery' date=' but I'm ready. I have my last minute doubts, but then I think about all the ex-fat thin people that I would like to look like that may have had this done privately. I have Jennifer Hudson and Raven Simone dreams and weight watchers does not show up! I'm also doing this in secret as only my boyfriend, mom, and one co-worker know (that may mean the world knows...hmmm?). I have lost about 20 pounds on the liquid diet over 2 weeks so I'm looking forward to losing the rest. Where is your surgery?[/quote']

I only told my immediate family and 2 co workers as well. I know eventually I will share with others soon because I'm already loosing weight in my face but I don't go back to work for a minimum of 6 wks. That's my biggest hurdle because everyone will form opinions and will want to know what's going on. I've thought about lying just to get them off of my back but the truth always comes out

Is anyone else having trouble with diarrhea on the post-op liquid diet? My nurse cleared me to take a probiotic this morning. I am at the point that I can barely leave the house.

I'm 7 days post op and its not diarrhea, it took me 3 days to have a bowel movement but I will say its loose and sometimes 2x/day

Pray that all goes well. Remember to walk as much as you can once your nurse gets you up, trust me it helps!!

My husband is taking me to the grocery store as we speak

I've gone tru 3boxes of sf ice pops & I'm 11 days post op lol

Is it just plain or did you do the fruit bars?

I was sleeved on July 16, today is day 6 of my post op liquids. Let me say I am tired of the liquids and can't wait to have some substance. I'm not hungry, my pain level is minimum, and I can tolerate my liquids with only some gas from the broths and sometimes the shakes(muscle milk) if I try to drink too much( basically drink a 11oz carton per day, only 20g protein) I love the raspberry lemonade crystal light and the broths are good, just hate the after taste. My husband is taking me today to buy some sugar free Popsicles. I've also ha sugar free Jello, and suggestions for some good Popsicles? I wonder If I can have sugar free whip cream on the jello.
