Thank you, I really needed to hear that because right now diluted grapefruit juice is the only liquid I can tolerate. I don't know why. I'm just so miserable. I sit in my apartment and cry. SD:8/21/13. BW 370 SW 347. CW 316

me too! Trying to shower and get dressed feels like climbing a mountain SD:8/21/13. BW 370 SW 347. CW 316

I had my gastric bypass on Aug 21st and am feeling awful. I can't get in all of the liquids, Protein, or vitamins! I am ALWAYS tired and am now wondering what did I do to myself? Has anyone else felt this way? Please help me. SD:8/21/13

Why didn't anyone tell me how much pain I would feel!!!! On the plus side five days out and fifteen pounds gone. SD:8/21/13

I am now five days post op. I have lost 15 pounds! I know this rate won't stay for long, but it's nice. I have been having so so much pain. I found myself briefly regretting this. SD:8/21/13

I had my surgery on Wednesday and the pain is terrible! I just have to focus on the end results. SD:8/21/13

I had my surgery yesterday. Now I'm on the losers bench! The first day was the worse pain, today it's a little easier. I'm very well drugged today though. :-) SD:8/21/13

So my surgery is the day after tomorrow. I'm feeling so excited and anxious. So far I've visited friends, cleaned my apartment, and watched movies to keep my mind busy. So so excited! SD:8/21/13

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I have other obese family members, but most of them have the attitude that big is beautiful. Now don't get me wrong, millions of women are plus size and gorgeous, but the ones in my family are plus size and unhealthy (including myself) . Surprisingly they are the ones that are the biggest critics of me having this surgery. Not all of them, of course, but enough. Anyway I want to be the first one in my family to have an active life and exercise regularly. I want to run, jump, swim, even skip if the mood strikes me! No one in my family is athletic, so I want to be the first. I now I will struggle with spending time with them without it centering around food, but I love them all regardless. SD:8/21/13

I completely understand about the front seat of the car. I hate that especially because I can fit in a back seat. SD:8/21/13

I'm going to sanitize my apartment like a crazy person this weekend. That should keep me busy. SD:8/21/13

My nut is always sighing because I don't keep a food log. I am going to put my best effort towards it post op. SD:8/21/13

Wedgies! SD:8/21/13

I think it's 98% excitement, 2% fear....or maybe the reverse. Who knows??? I sometimes just want to start my new life, then I think of everything I need to do to get ready. I'm just a bundle of emotions now. SD:8/21/13

I have difficulty swallowing pills now, I wonder if I can request liquid pain meds? SD:8/21/13
