Sept Surgery Dates?

[Barisaxylady 154]

Hi' date=' I'm scheduled for Sept. 11th! I started my liquid diet on August 14 and I'm so proud that I haven't cheated at all. Only 6 more days and I'm getting nervous. I have a 9 month old and 3 year old. Anyone else with lids?[/quote']

Since mid August?? That's nuts! Hope you don't mind me asking but where do you live? Your only the second person I've heard have to go so long.

Just checking in with all my September peeps. Tomorrow is 2 weeks post-op for me and so far, it has really been an amazing experience. I think I got myself REALLY worked up before hand (with good reason- it IS major surgery with life-altering consequences) and I am SO happy to report that things could not have gone any better.

My surgery was on the 17th and I was in the hospital for about a day and a half. Admitted Monday morning, discharged Tuesday afternoon. The first week was a teesny bit rough. But I took the drugs, drank as much liquid as I could and walked as much as possible.

SInce I've been home, I just have been following instructions and sleeping when I felt like it. Tomorrow I am back to work.... so that should be interesting. I don't know how to inlcude this info in my ticker, so here's my progress "by the numbers"

Pre-"everything" = 225

09/17 Day of Surgery (after 2 week liquid) = 216

09/24 One week post-op = 208

09/30 A day shy of two weeks post-op = 205

20Lbs down 65 to go!

Hope everyone else is having a speedy and healthy (and easy!) recovery.

Hey SkinnyAnnie :-)

I'm officially 10 days out today. I was sleeved on 9/21. I'm a lucky girl. Recovery has been fairly smooth. I'm still struggling to get 65g of Protein in, but I'm pretty close. Today it's my goal to meet it. I'm getting about 32 oz of additional liquid in, still working up to my 64. Tomorrow is the surgical follow up....then I will know weights.

I am finding after walking around for a little less than 15 min or standing still in one place too long gets me a little woozy. I'm trying to move a bit more everyday. Is anyone else experiencing that? Otherwise I feel good. Hope everyone else's recovery is as smooth
