Surgery Date - 10/2/12

How are you feeling? Have you lost any weight?

Surgery date 10/4, feeling really good. Haven't taken any pain meds in 2 days. As of this morning, I'm down 6 pounds! Can't wait to eat something other than broth and jell-o!!!

I ate refried beans and applesauce today.. if was wonderful!!! I keep stepping on scales wondering when I'll see a huge difference. So ready for a new wardrobe!

Surgery 10/3 - down 9lbs. Make sure your getting your proteins in it makes a big difference. I'm ready for food already. Doesn't have to be bad food....just food to chew.

I'm scared about going back to work t'mrw...starting vitamins, etc... unsure of reaction.

Incision site busted open and is pouring blood! Sure am glad I'm stil in the hospital. Is this normal?

Surgery date today @ 7:30....nervous and excited! On my way to the hospital

Surgery date - 10/1/2012

Today I am actually feeling the best I've felt since before the surgery. However I am not able to drink liquid Protein shakes, Jello and broth. Luckly my NP has approved for me try yogurt, cottage cheese, and split pea Soup. Yogurt and soup is good how im still scared to try the cottage cheese. Total lost since surgery is 8 pounds. My last weigh-in was on Monday.
