Hi!! I'm feeling pretty ok :) I still feel very weak and dizzy and can't be on my feet too

Long, and it amazes me how slowly I have to get around now. I'm still on liquids for another week and a half and have not been able to get any Protein in :-/ so I don't know if that's the culprit... I'm going to buy the premier brand protein tomorrow as I hear this is one of the better brands. How are you doing??

Weakness for a while after surgery is par for the course. Take your time recuperating, you've undergone a major surgical procedure. Welcome to the bench!!!

Thanks!!! I am 5'2, starting weight was 207, had surgery 4/18 and I weighed myself the day of discharge from the hospital which was 4/21, and I was at 197. I haven't weighed myself since tho, but can feel that I've lost more weight :-) I'm 28 years young and am from tx :)

Congrats and welcome!!! I had my surgery on 4/20 and besides feeling a little bloated and a little tired, I feel good! I was in the hospital one day and I lost 1 lb. upon release. I am trying to stay away from the scale because I have found that (for me) the scale is my worst enemy. I have plenty of mirrors and clothes that will let me know if I am losing at a good pace.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
