Today is day 10 of 14 day per op diet. I had a dream last night while I was sleeping that I was at work and we had a potluck. I ate everything!!! Fried chicken, chips,dip,wings,cheesy fries you name it. I was so mad at myself afterwards that I was crying and woke up in tears. I was so happy it was just a dream. Day ten of liquid diet and I haven't cheated once. Really I don't even feel hungry my body has adjusted. Apparently I was starving in my sleep tho lol. Has anyone else had food dreams that seemed so real??? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I went home today and still doing great. Thanks everyone !! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I read and watched so many horror stories of the pain people are in after surgery and the problems that people have. I'm so thankful and feel so blessed I had my surgery at 8 am this morning I was so afraid of the pain I was in store for. But I feel amazing!!!! Very little pain very little gas. I have taken now a total of 7 walks. The first one right off the stretcher comming to my room from recovery lol they said you ready to scoot into the bed I said no I'm ready to walk lol. The dr said my liver was great and he could tell I did well with the pre op diet. I said and the worst part was I didn't realize till the seventh day that I was allowed to have creamed Soups lol so I did all liquids until then. Duhhhhh. He laughed. The nurses said they are amazed that they have never seen a patient do this well directly afterwards. Honestly I just feel like I did a few hundred sit ups. So for those of you who are worried. Don't be so worried. I spent way to much time fearing the worst instead of expecting the best. I was supposed to be here till Thursday but was told by the dr this evening that if I'm doing this well still tomorrow they are going to let me go home which is absolutely wonderful. Considering I haven't slept since I woke up in recovery bc this bed is not comfortable at all!!!!! And it's very noisy in here!!! And i have never been away from my munchkins on a holiday so hoping everything stays smooth sailing!!! Best wishes to all!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
