Today is 1 week since my surgery, not a lot of energy yet, but the only pain is from my staples and they come out on Tuesday!! Can't wait to go swimming.
I weighed myself this morning and have lost 25.5 pounds since starting the pre-op liquid diet!!!
I'm really happy the surgery is behind me and can't wait to lose more!!
Good luck to those whose time is close, the pain doesn't last forever, you CAN do it!!!!

Had my surgery this morning and all went well....not in serious pain as I feared....drugged and drained at the moment.....hahahaha

Day 2 post op and hoping to be released from the hospital today...I find the gas pain worse in the evening, so I walked last night...still sick feeling with every sip of water....and the hunger cramps hurt my stomach....but all in all feeling better....can't wait to get home!!

@ LoriNS I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and I too suffered from gas pain....yes walking helps, walking stairs helps even more, walking stairs AND taking gas-x helps but what I have found to help the MOST with gas pain and nausea is chicken broth! It is like magic .....College Hill fat free and reduced sodium chicken broth and it fixes the gas and nausea....I personally do NOT recommend the powdered kind because it had too many spices for me and made my stomach upset but the premixed is GREAT...good luck with your progress and I hope you are feeling better soon....that gas pain was the worst for me also

Tomorrow is the big day, what I've waited 3 years for....why am I so emotional and nervous??
Packing my suitcase and it hits me....it's real....the first part of this journey is over....the hard work starts tomorrow...and I realize I am ready....
Good luck April Sleevers....our journey is just beginning...long, healthy lives ahead!!

I was originally scheduled for today, started my all liquid diet a week ago this past Sunday....was postponed till April 9th, stayed with all liquids, just didn't want to go thru those first few days again.....I'm finding it hard to sleep.....but not sure if it's nerves or the change in my diet.....looking forward to getting on with the next phase of this journey....and wearing a belt! Lol. Good luck April sleevers!! <3 :-)

Good luck everyone & stay strong!

April 6 is my b-day!! Good luck!

I was originally scheduled for March 31, but found out today it's been postponed till April 9.....on the all liquid diet at the moment.....
