I work out 4 days a week if I can.

is any1 on here from altimote maryland? i could use a work out partner

I cheated BAD... but I feel awful now, I sure hope it all goes well, im scared now.

Cheated bad how?

I had Japanese... bout 1/2 what id normally eat but i still ate it...

On Christmas Day, 4 days before surgery, I must have had 3rds of my aunts stuffing as well as small amounts of ham, turkey, green beans, etc and even banana pudding. I figured screw it- ill never eat like this again. I still managed to lose more weight after that day and my dr said surgery was text book, no complications so far, knock on wood! :) get back on the horse, clear liquids day before, what's meant to be will always be

I had plain shrimp and wonton soup, I figured it's still lots of broth right?! :-/

Yikes. I don't feel bad though even though I was wayy too full I didn't like that feeling. I was really weak today

hey what's up I have a question for everybody. after surgery how rough was it?

Fred Montana JR

Mine has been a breeze. No complications and feeling great! The worst was getting out if bed the first 3 days!

Fred- it was a fucking bitch. But not for too long. I had surgery 12/29. As soon as I woke up they said they were taking me up to my fam, moved the bed an inch and I threw up. Thght fuckkkkk what have I done. I walked immediately (I have my daddy's will) Came home 12/31 ( would have preferred to stay in hosp on morphine drip- I abused that shit.) they took me off early in the day and started me on lortab which gave me the worst headache so I didn't even fill the prescrip. 31st/1st- slept all day, felt horrible, gas pains SUCK. And I don't mean like farting gas, gas trapped in your chest. My tummy was making TONS of noise though. I told my brother not to do his surgery lol I was miserable, depressed, uncomfortable, gassy, sore, regretful. By the 2nd (5 days post op) started feeling better. And today was even better. Didnt rely on the gas x strips so much (buy a box or two). So yes it fucking sucks. But not for too long. I think youth helps recovery also, so maybe you'll do better than me ;) I still have a hard time finding a comfortable spot to sleep in ( sometimes slightly tilted kills me), but I don't need nearly as much sleep as before (I was getting about 15 hours a day at first) praying for no complications and that every day keeps getting equally better :) btw I've also lost 8 pounds since the 31st so it makes me feel a little better lol
