It's been 12 days post surgery and I'm going excellent. I have tons of energy and walking 2 miles a day in the treadmill. Had chicken salad on the purée phase and had no issues at all. I'm so happy I did this. I just feel so much better.

I had surgery on Monday morning. Spent two nights in the hospital then was released last night. I'm doing really good. I have no hunger and am just starting my full liquid diet today. Overall the pain wasn't bad. The worst part was having the drain removed before I left the hospital.

That is wonderful news! I'm down about 50lbs too. I had my surgery 10 days ago and feel great! I'm amazed at how much energy i have! Keep up the great work!

I ditto teabow. I'm 1 week post op and doing great. I'm virtually pain free and able to eat and drink with no issues. I use a calorie tracker and it helps. Good luck and welcome to your new life. I already feel better and the Diabetes is totally under control. Can't wait to go onto purée food tomorrow. It's amazing how 2 to 4 oz of food makes you full.

Hello all 6 days postop and still have some incision pain. I'm doing lite house choirs and a little walking. I think I'm just getting antsy and feel like I should be doing more. I take a short walk to the mailbox etc. Any support or insight is appreciated. Drinking and eating 2 oz is going fine. The pills are tough but I manage to get them down. I have my first follow up on Tuesday with Nutrician and surgeon.

Best of luck to all this weeks surgeries. Tomorrow I'll be 1 week post op. Feeling pretty good. It's so bizarre to only eat 2 oz at a sitting but that is all my new stomach allows. I still have incision pulling and a little pain but it's totally under control. Good luck to this weeks group.

STOP WEIGHING YOURSELF THIS EARLY. I just 6 days postoperative and won't get on a scale for at least 3 weeks per the doctor. The only thing we should be focused on his proper intake Protein and Water this early. Hang in there I'm sure in 2 months were going to be shocked at the loss. It didn't come on overnight. All the best.

Surgery is done. I slept the whole day. Pain isn't bad at all and I've all ready done walking. Going to be here for 1 more day. All went great and lost 25 lbs pre opp.

Like the others said..Get back on the horse and go forward. I'm on day 13 of my liquid diet. I have cheated a few times with Cottage cheese, Creamed Soup or pickles. I just got back on it right away and plugged forward. I can already tell i've lost weight, I will find out tomorrow when i get weighed in before my surgery. I was at the point if i drank one more chocolate shake i was going to puke. I found weekend the HARDEST for me. I wasn't busy with work, life. A lot of time on my hands was dangerous. I've never cleaned so much in my life..LOL All the best to you on your journey!

Well i'm on my last day of the liquid diet. Tomorrow is the big day, i'm so ready and excited to have the surgery. I'll let you know how I do tomorrow afternoon!

I did good. I was with a couple of friends. One of them was struggling pretty bad to make it. She just started her weightless journey. I kept stopping and walking backwards to encourage her. so, all that being said. I finished in 58 minutes. Already planning another one and will improve time. I feel fabulous and proud!

I had my surgery this past Monday. Of course I think it will pay off but my experience was a little different. I had to stay in surgery an extra hour because my fatty liver was a bit larger than they anticipated so it was a bigger task to keep it up and lifted out of the way. My surgeon was determined to keep it laparoscopic which I am so thankful for. A total of 4 incisions...one with a drain. I am a size 18 right now. I was in a pretty good amount of pain but I can't handle the heavy painkillers only Vicodin. I had what felt like heartburn for 2 days which they said could be residual acid and sure enough it went away. The incision they used the most burns inside and the other ones itch a bit now. I had nausea for the first 4 days but meds took care of that. I was in the hospital a little over 72 hours. I have been doing my walking at home. It gets a bit easier every day. I love the abdominal binder the hospital gave me in fact I asked for another one and got it. Fits under the breast down to about the top of the pubic bone. I am already off 3 meds and monitoring at home. Yeah! I am up to 60 ounces of Fluid a day and about 50 grams of Protein but still trying to get in more protein.

Well i'm on my last day of the liquid diet. Tomorrow is the big day, i'm so ready and excited to have the surgery. I'll let you know how I do tomorrow afternoon!
