I am so excited and nervous. I know this is normal. Thank you everyone for being so supportive to me. I have discovered bandsters are amazing people!

I am glad the weather is supposed to be nice for a few days. I can walk on my dead end street. I want to feel better as soon as possible. Not looking forward to 4 weeks of liquids, but at least I should (hopefully) be losing during this time. That should make it worth while!

thanks again everyone, Denise

Thanks Kitty!

I think I'm a little nervous- I've been having muscle spasms on the left side of my back for the last 3 days. Muscle relaxers don't seem to help either!!! GRRRRRH!

Hi Denise,

I hope everything went well with your surgery. I'm on day 4 already and the liquid diet after the surgery is not that bad. In all honesty, I don't feel hungry at all. I am supposed to stay on a 1,000kcal a day diet and I hardly reach that goal. I drink a lot of Water and also discovered the "Propel" water from Gatorade which is a Vitamin water.It is excellent. They were giving me that in the hospital and I continued drinking it after I came home. Now, I know I should be getting Protein and I got from GNC the whey Protein [chocolate flavor is great] which I disolve in skim milk. So I replaced the Slim Fast Optima shakes with this.

When you feel up to it, give us an update on how you are feeling.

Congratulations Denise!
