Thanks for asking... I had my surgery on the 1st at Kaiser. The first couple of days I had to sleep on the couch, nearly sitting straight up! My bed is pretty high and I wasnt able to do the normal jump..lol. It does get better everyday however. Im currently on stage 2, full liquids. Isopure and Water are my challenges, whereas mint tea and greek yogurt are easily tolerated. The incisions are healing nicely, except the largest one ( they remove the stomach through there) its very sore and kind of has a pulling feeling if you do too much of anything. Vitamins and prilosec are done daily. I see the surgeon tomorrow for my post op appt. I continue to walk and be as active ( walking) as I can until I get cleared for full exercise...my current stats are:
6 days out of surgery
First day home from hospital.. 234 lbs
Today...222 lbs

My surgery is Tuesday, April 1st.. I am so greatful to have this opportunity at living an active, healthy, life. Im 5'3 and weigh 225#. I do carry it well and still manage to find great clothes that compliment my " thick" frame. My bf just had his surgery yesterday and thankfully he has had no complications.. except the occasional traveling gas pain. This journey will have great moments along with those " wth did I get myself into" moments. I believe if you stay positive you will have positive results... good luck and congratulations to everyone!! :-) :-)

I would recommend the Premier Protein shakes from costco. They come in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. You get a case of approximately 18 for $25, each one contains 30 grams of protein... make sure to drink them cold. The chocolate taste like chocolate milk to me!!!

Thanks for all the responses. I left feeling like am making the right decision? My bf reassured me and reminded me why I was on this journey. I will call tomorrow and make a complaint..

So today I had to go in to have the last testing done (EKG) prior to meeting my bariatrician in a few weeks. I got to the check in window and the receptionist began to check me in. Im assuming she sees alot of walk ins that are bariatric surgery candidates , also once I gave her my card she accessed my medical record. She looked around her computer and in a loud enough voice said" tell me you're not havin that surgery to lose weight" I was floored! As calmly as I could I responded with a yes. She then said ..mind you infront of the check in line " girl please you do not need that, you can just exercise and lose that little bit of fat". After stating yes I am opting for WLS , I walked away and waited to be called. I am 5'3 227 #..I do carry my weight well and ppl dont believe that I weigh that much when I tell them. I cant help but feel some type of way! No I haven't been overweight all my life, however this is to much weight for my petite frame. Ive experienced all the yo yo dieting and have given this whole thing alot of consideration .
