My inciision sites are looking better but I still have muscle pain at the main site. It's been a challenge working with that pain in my side. This weekend I stayed in bed trying to give it a rest. I hope things will be okay when I am back at work tomorrow.

My stomach looks more hollow on the incision side and laying on it is just weird. Today I had some pain and the incisions burned a little. I am back to work. Eating is not going so well. I am so tired of eating the same old soft stuff. I wish I could find something high in protein that I can eat over and over again. Glad you are doing better.

Egg Whites!!! You can do it in different ways too? You can scramble them, you can take the egg yolk out and boil just the white in one of those eggie things? You can fry the egg white with no oil in a non stick pan? you can make a fratada out of it and add mushrooms or spinich to it, you can make an omlet out of egg whites with whatever you like in your omlets? I add chedder cheese. I love it!!! I could eat eggs forever????

I was very sore after my surgery on 3/12. I had to ice my main incision several times because it was so sore. That helped a lot. I found myself looking at the message boards and thinking 'How are these people so pain free and doing to much after surgery?' I just chalk it up to everyone is different. Right now I am 10 days out and I still have some pain at the main incision site but I was able to spend most of the date out and about. I am hoping that I will be much better by Monday when I go back to work.

OMG I am glad I am not the only one. There are so many super stars on these boards getting in all their Protein and Water from day 1. I have been having a hard time with it this week. Sometimes I just feel too full for a snack or another meal.

Day 4 post op. I am feeling good. My main incision is swollen and I am still gassy but every day I am a little better.

Yay! Good for you! My surgery is tomorrow. -
Today I am VERY paranoid. I have to work right up until Wednesday and my job is customer facing. Today a lady with a cold came up to my window and was blowing her nose and coughing. Now I'm scared that I will get a cold before my surgery.
I really really hope this doesn't happen. I think I may take tomorrow off to prevent me from losing my mind with worry. -
3 Days until my surgery date! I am excited to begin this new chapter in my life.

9 Days until Surgery... Down 31lbs since Feb 3rd. Completed my pre-admission and labs today. I start on all liquids on Wednesday. I can't believe this is so close!
-
18 days till my surgery. Can't believe it. Nervous/Excited. I know it will be life changing in the best way.
-
Day 8.... Feeling great! I am not weighing myself until I go to the doctor on 2/20 but I am trying on clothes and fitting in to somethings that haven't fit in a while. SWEET>
-
Day 6... I have had the worst cold for the past 3 days. I have only eaten my shakes. The bars are not even appealing right now.
-
I am on day 3 of shakes and Protein bars. I think that if I were allowed a lean protein and veggies I wouldn't have made it too far. Just remember that this is only the beginning of a journey to change your life. Hunger pangs won't kill you. If it gets too bad go to bed early. I've done that and work up feeling sated. Also make sure you are drinking LOTS of Water to fill you up. You can do it! Just picture yourself at the goal line.

Day 2 of the Liquid Diet... I am too tired to be hungry. Work was so hectic with the all digital transition (I work in Cable TV). There was junk food everywhere but I persevered. I stuck to my three shakes and two protein bars. I am glad that I started this during such a busy time at work. It really takes my mind off of food.
-
Day 1 of the Liquid Diet... I am not going to lie, eating all day just makes me even more hungry. I am going to chalk that up to my body working the way it is supposed to. I am hoping that I can stick with it. I have to. This is going to change my life.
