Hey everyone! Just started this thread for the post op octosleevers of 2012. I had my surgery yesterday and all is well. Gas pain is terrible but I've been walking around. Full fluid dinner tonight. Sippin on my oh, cream soup and pudding. They saline locked my IV, catheter is out and I love walking around. Nausea and pain are so far under control. I'm giving myself 3 hours to finish this meal

10/23/12 was my surgery.

Three months out today!

Very proud of myself and how well everything has gone. I feel so good. My kids and husband support me and encourage all of my efforts. Some days are harder than others but all the exercise and hard work is really starting to show. Would like to see 60 more lbs gone and I will be very very satisfied!! I'm a bridesmaid in October. Have to be looking fresh. Lol wedding pics are forever!

My brain still has not adjusted to the quantity that I can eat.
