Like popcorn....when can I eat popcorn again? Can I ever eat popcorn again?

How much Protein are you getting in? Water? For me, the more I do, the more I feel like I CAN do. In moderation, of course!

232 this week! 1 week post-op.

I do the same thing a few times a day, I go to Bariatricpal.com, click on the blue new content button, and read many, many postings! I feel as if I am beginning to know so many "friends"! I think it is so interesting how many times I have a specific question in my head and someone else has recently asked the same question. It is so nice to read about all the similarities AND differences we have in our procedures ( both pre-op and post-op). Thanks!!

The gas pain was bad for a day but that went away the more I moved around! The incision pains were never terrible. What has been the worst is the feeling when actually eating and drinking. My healing stomach hurt so bad the first few days and everything tasted terrible. I honestly started to have an anxiety attack that "I broke myself" by doing this surgery. And I am one of the lucky ones...absolutely no complications! Every single day it has been a little better than thee last! Hang in there, I know I am!

Down in my preop....now 243

I, too, have become very open about my decision. I originally thought that I was going to keep my decision to my immediate family but thinking of ways to explain my 2 week absence from work and then eventual weight loss was weighing (pardon the pun) on me. I am such an open, honest person that is was just easier for me. So far everyone has been supportive. I am sure some don't agree but they have kept those opinions to themselves. I truly hope that I am so successful that I can be a mentor to friends who might want to go this route.

Reading all of these while I am in the middle of my 2 week pre-op diet Is not a good idea!., I am soooooo hungry!! I will definitely be trying some of these in a few months!!

Ooh, I am so excited! My surgery is on the 17th! I am in the pre-op stage right now! This challenge will be a positive kick start for the rest of my life! Please add me to the Holiday Challenge!

I keep telling myself that the hunger pain is my liver shrinking :-)
