Awesome!!!! Your on your way now :)

Ok, I have a few things for y'all:

1. What kind of post op diet are you on?

I'm on a strict clear liquid diet week 1, liquid week 2, mushies week 3/4, week 5 soft foods, and week 6 regular diet. But it seems like some of you are already doing soft foods?

2. Also, feeling really low-energy and extreme difficulty sleeping- anyone else?

3. More of a woohoo!-- I don't know the number yet, but I have visibly lost weight. My face is slimmer, my back jelly roll is gone and I no longer look 6 months prego. It's visible and kinda excited. BTW- I'm 5 days post op! Oh and my shorts sag :-)
