Hi, had surg on sep 10. No pre surg diet, just no food or water after midnight before surg. Went in at 5:30 am. Surgery about 8:30. Went fine in hospital 3days. Clear liquids 24 hours after surg. Full liquids 48 hour after surg. 2 weeks after surg step 3 foods. Soft mushy. 4 weeks after surg any foods I wanted to try as long as nutrient dense. No sugars obviously, protein, soft veggies and fruits. Lost 15 pounds ast two weeks, scale got stuck, lost two more pounds 2nd 2 weeks, now have lost 23 pounds total. Got sick twice, both times eating crackers with tuna. Think I ate too fast too, not thinking about what I was doing ( eating ) and didn't chew well enough. Went back to work 6 days after surg. Felt good, no brain power though. Realtor so stayed at my desk and answered questions. Now that scale numbers are moving again I feel better, I was a little depressed, but stuck to plan. Feeling good walking 35 mins a day, not cleared for lifting or full workout yet. Lots of support, hubby not sure this is a good thing, but still supportive. Size smaller already!

sugar free Popsicle?

Mine was 245. Highest weight ever was 256. I am 5'6". When I was 18 years old I weighed 140. That's around my goal weight now. 130-140. I am 51 now.

My surgey was yesterday. Went well! Hiatal (sp) hernia repaired too. Clear liquids today. No more IV fluids as my intake is good and output good too.small pain, easily managed. Walking worked to get rid of gas pain, and I can feel air rolling around in my tummy! No doubt I will be passing gas soon, sorry if tmi. Nurses are very helpful and encouraging. Hooray, hoping to go home tomorrow or Friday.

Yay! Same day!

I actually told a friend of my sisters that he's the guy that would ask an alcoholic to have just one beer with him when he kept after me to go out to a buffet with them! Also having to use the handicapped stall in the restroom, and ordering two or three drinks in the drive through to pretend I am getting food for more than just me! It's been a long journey to get to this point and I am so ready to get the extra help having this surgery will give me!

My date is sept 10!
