Oh and my post op is this Friday which is 9 days post op

Hey cmt7831, how are things?

I had my first post-op office visit and I'm doing well. I got to advance to the full liquid stage so excited. I ran and purchased yogurt. Those three teaspoons tasted so good going down!

I'm down 19 lbs from least office visit to present visit, with a total loss of 43 lbs from my highest weight to current weight. My cheeks hurt from smiling.

OMG! Awesome ! So excited for you! Yummy yogurt! I am doing so much better. Pain has finally stopped thanks to a few hours if a heating pad! I have so much more moving ability so I think I'm going to start walking! Starting 15 mins and building by 5 mins a day! Finally turned that corner. We are rocking our sleeves now! My preop appt is on Friday so ill have official numbers then . The other numbers were on my own weigher at home. Awesome job keep up the fantastic job! So proud of you my sleeve sister!

I totally love my heating pad. I found when I had gas and felt it in my back 30-60 mins on the heating pad and it was tooting later lol.

I got cleared to walk also, going to visit the track once the summer program is over at the track. I live on the third floor so steps were a restriction.

Keep up the great work you are doing.

It will work wonders for you.

I am hopefully going to be late July' date=' early August. It will depend on speed of (hopeful) approval and when they can fit me in I suppose. My best friend works for the surgeon and said that surgeries are usually scheduled two weeks out after approval.... Besides approval, my next big thing to work with is my school schedule. I am in nursing school and we go year round. I have a class with clinicals that ends July 23rd and I don't have another class that requires that kind of physical exertion until mid September. So I have about a 7 week window. We shall see....[/quote']

Yay

Ok.. well my morning didnt start off too good but as the day

progressed i begun to feel better. I got up walked around

walmart and did a little shopping.. got a scale and some

different protein shakes and some more stuff.. are the atkin

shakes good? I brought some of those..

I like Atkins chocolate. I am now 4 days post-op and doing well at home. Not missing food although it does still smell good to me (I have read that some people get sick from the smell). The only thing that hurts me going down is the acid-reducer. I am in pain for about 5-10 minutes from that. Water, cold and hot liquids, and shakes all go down fine. I am excited to see what I am losing (surgeon asked me to wait until post-op 2 week appt) and cannot wait for the incisions to be less painful (only the one hurts...had to be an inch longer in the inside due to my mega large liver and extra accessory spleen! I have like 1.5 spleens...weird). Lol

The Atkins shakes are good. I liked the chocolate and the strawberry.

I am straving!! And its not just head hungry.. my stomach is grawling, rummbling, and some more stuff.. im only 5 day post op.. any suggestions?
