Me to Rochester you?

Congrats worm glad all went well and welcome let the fun begin.
Simply sorry I r struggling glad you have some options soon you will be on the other side and not have to worry

Yeah the emotions are hard I will be glad you did the liquid diet for a while it gets all the suger and Caffeine out so your not getting head ales while recovering your right kinda like a drug addicts

I am six days out I have no regrets so far the frist few days have been hard but I can't wait to see were my body will take me.
When I was in the hospital the girl who was my roommate came in a day after I was in there and said she regrets having it because see could not keep anything down but it did seem to me that she failed the surgery she said she drinks red bulls and and other things she should not and kept asking for more pain meds every half an hour.and then when the weekend was over just got up and left. I don't mean to judge just share.
My mother also had this done 10 years ago and has kept the weight off all these years she has no regrets and has kept off 120 pounds.
Best of luck to you.

On my way home from hospital everything went really well.
I am having a hard time drinking all my drink just because I feel full.

Lol that's right who would have thought seems so strange my head tells me I want more I guess this is part of it listen to our bodies for a change

My doc said to get at least 16oz during the day and then 3 small half cup or quarter cup Protein meals things like fat free broth or suger free pudding or skim milk or soy milk and then 3 Protein Shakes 8oz it takes me an hour to drink a 8oz shake.< /p>

Postop day six has left me so surprised n it just started. I took my mom to work this morning, she works @ a medical center so i seen it as an opportunity to finally jump on a scale since the last time i was weighed was right before going in to surgery i was 365lbs. Now i have not been able to use a weighted scale in years since it only goes up to 350lbs. So of course the closes scale to my moms office is a weighted, but i figure what's the harm in trying it... imagine my surprise when i stepped on slid the main weight to 300 and started sliding the little weight.. i look at my mom n told her am i doing this wrong?! She came over and looked the slid the little weight around some more and said nope babe you are 344lbs. (Jaw dropped) today has made all the pain and uncomfortableness of the past 6 days worth it... however i do know that when my dr. Finds out he will probably tell me its way to much weight and its probably because i am having a hard time consuming my liquids but ever day gets a little better so here's hoping to continued improvement and continued weight loss...good luck today to all those having there procedures done today:)

Post op appointment went well now on puréed yum yum.

Thanks everyone drinking for the first time. Glad to on this side looking forward getting home and healing

Yeah I have been doing the google thing as well. It is weird I thought my insides would feel alot different but they don't. It is weird to think I will lose 100 +pounds in the next year.
