Thank you to everyone who replied to my quandary. My surgeon told me that I probably had a muscle hematoma because my bruising post op was substantially deeper than normal. It’s still sore, but I’m noticing easement of pain with eac day.

I really like your posts because they make me feel normal. I’m on day 5 and my left side is horrendous!! And just like you, I have no energy. I’m having to force myself to chew Vitamins and drink protein!! I sure hope we look back on this experience and say, “Shoot, I’d do this all over again 10 times!!”

Hi, everyone! I’ve been waiting a year and three months for this life changing experience!! My pre-op liquid diet starts on Tuesday. My surgery is January 23rd. That’s the first time I’ve written that date!! I’m speechless and nervous!! I’m so stinking proud of everyone who is going through this journey of a new and healthier life!😁

In case any of you are still on your liquid phase, my nutritionist told me to heat up my pre-mixed chocolate Protein Drink like a hot chocolate. I did it yesterday at work, and it was amazing! Actually a lot better than regular hot chocolate. Also, with it being cold outside, the heated up Protein was very calming and soothing. I just took my time and sipped it while I worked. I'm a high school librarian, and my students were cracking up at me for making such a big deal out of heated up chocolate protein. Lol Whatever gets me through, right?

I love that story!! In the midst of a hurricane, bacon was way more important! 😂

Thank all of you who replied! I know I’ll make it, I just had to rant. Hearing from people who are in the same shoes helps tremendously!

I’m on my second day of my 2week liquid diet before my surgery on the 23rd. Man, I’m struggling, but I haven’t cheated at all. When my husband was cooking supper, I thought I was going to lose it. I held my composure. Any one else cheat or wanted to?

I start mine tomorrow. Good luck and think positive thoughts!!

Not at all!! When you’ve lived part of your life with extra weight that keeps you from feeling great and being the best you can be definitely falls into one of the biggest and best decisions of your life!! Great luck to you and stay positive!!

Getting responses makes my feelings so valid!! Proud of your decision and good luck! You’ll be a day older than me! Lol

I will be cheering everyone on tomorrow as you mark tomorrow as your new birth. That’s the way I look at it. I’m 57, and it has very, very little to do with looking better. It’s mostly about feeling better and living longer.

Thank you for the advice! I’ll take all advice to heart.

This is my first thread ever!! Thank you Abby M for my first response. Feeling emotional tonight. Sorry, I’m not trying to take away from your journey. Good luck, sweetie.
