I feeling better today on the inside I still have a lot of gurgling noises. I am so scared I am going to eat or drink too much. I talked to the Dr today about how much I should be taking in and he said that they put more on the diet because people were getting dehydrated. He said that I was doing a good job just sip sip sip. Today I can have yogurt and creamy soup, that's for the next 3 days. I have been using the bath towels that the hospital gave me to keep clean. So today will be my first shower since the surgery. I'm a little scared I am gonna hurt my self. How much were you up and walking after your surgery?

Hey if you click on view conversation and then post you message there I will see your message.

let me know how your surgery goes.

My surgery went great. I have liquid for 5 days and then add mushy food. That's great you have lost 22 lbs. Dr. Sewell in southlake did my surgery. total cost for my surgery is $16,000 that's with a year visits with the Dr. and 6 months with the dietitian and group therapy. I am having a 23 hour stay a the hospital and will be released tomorrow. The Dr. said they did my surgery in 45 mins when it normally it takes 1hr to 1hr. and 15mins. He wishes he would have video taped it because it went so smoothly.

Sorry it has taken me a while to respond, it has been a busy week for me. I hope that in August my desire phone will come out on the market, so I can get on line more. Every one tells me they are seeing a difference but I have yet to see it. I know what you mean about how celebration and socializing all most always revolve around food. Last night my uncle turned 60 so we had a party. The good thing is he cooked food that I could eat which was nice of him. I did have 2 very small bites of cake and I wanted more but I just thought “you only eat to live not live to eat". My surgery is schedule for this Monday I have to be there at 6:00, and I will stay for 23hrs. I am so excited!

I live in Ft. Worth and I am hating the heat right now.

So how are you doing with your diet? How far are you in post op?

I am on the last week of my pre-op diet and its tough. I have 2 shakes a day and lean meat and veggies and fruit at night. Today I had 3 boiled eggs instead of a protein shake witch probably was not the best But I figure its was some protein. I really couldn't stomach a shake this morning. Thankfully I don't have a week of liquids. I have lost 12lbs on my Pre-op diet. I hope I can loose another 3-5 lbs before surgery.

I Know what you mean about the shakes. I can't stand the vanilla it makes me want to vomit. what does your diet consist of now?

That would be great I was really needing some one to chat to. I am still trying figure this website out. Where about Texas do u live?
