Hi everyone,
I'm Michelle. I am on POD 15. I'm still feeling shell shocked. I don't personally know anyone that has had this surgery so I'm so grateful for this forum. Just reading some of the posts encourages me to know that i'm not going crazy...it will get better..right?? I am struggling to meet my Protein and Water goals. Had to go get an IV last week cause I was dehydrated. It's so hard to control the nausea. But even with all that i already feel 10 years younger. I am 36 and 4'11" and my pre-op weight was 268. I was down to 250# last Thursday. I almost fainted. I haven't lost 18 pounds EVER!. Anyway thanks for the forum.
