Wanted to check in with everyone who had their procedure on December 13th. How is the diet going? I am still liquids until next Wednesday. I have been doing well getting my Water in, average close to 60 ounces. The Protein Shakes are getting old but I drink two per day. Have not had any nausea and not a large amount of pain around incisions. Thankfully have not had the gas pains I was so worried about. Today was my first day getting out of that house and I was surrounded by junk food and more junk food and had no desire for any. Enjoyed the time with family though.
I am 36, mother of 3. Was an athlete growing up and had no weight issues until I hit my 20's. Husband was deployed and I ate my worries away. 3 deployments later I was over weight. I have lost the weight(extremely unhealthy measures) and gained it back. I have a underactive thyroid.
I have an amazing life and I am extremely happy besides my weight has stopped me from enjoying everything God has blessed me with. I have been ugly to my husband, skipped activities with my kids, and disappointed myself too many times. That is what motivated me to have the sleeve.
My highest weight was 264, with the pre-op diet I lost 15 lbs. I have not weighed since surgery and do not plan to until my appointment on Wednesday. I am 5'7.
Thanks for reading. I look forward to going on this journey with you guys.
