My surgery is in 12 hours.

I have done amazing with my pre-op eating plan and I have not felt hungry or had cravings etc. I have dropped 38 lbs (maybe 39 by tomo morning LOL). My BMI is still up there but I am 199 lbs right now.

But today, I had the day free and alllll I did was research recipes!!! And I trolled around here to see what others were eating. I found that someone here was eating pureed chili and it sounds soooo good.

And then there was nothing on TV so I ended up on some burger show. OMG I had to turn it off!!!

I didn't think I was hungry, but I am on Pinterest and EVERYTHING looks so wonderful!!

I cannot wait to be in my 2nd week post-op so I can eat some of these yummy things I am seeing.

And I was in food-heaven on Pinterest today!!! I've never been a huge fan of cooking (like it's not a hobby at all) but I cannot wait to start cooking!!!

.....12 more hours!!!

add me. Reinangel.

I have only 2 boards one is recipes and other is WLS.

both have alot of smoothie recipes right now and general protein information.

Good luck today!!!

Good luck today!!!

Best of luck! See you on the other side!

Thanks! I made it

So my experience has been great! Then again, my surgery was only 13 hrs ago

As I've mentioned in other posts, I have dreadful anesthesia issues. This time wasn't horrible but not perfect. I was nauseous the entire time after surgery & was given a lot of meds. The scratch down my throat is 10x worse than my surgery lol

I actually began sipping Water pretty quickly just to ease my throat.

Then there was the awful pain on my shoulders. Felt like a horse kicked me.

So I was peeing & I noticed blood on my gown. Took me 2 hrs to figure it out; I had some drainage from an incision. Thing is, I have NO pain from surgery & forgot I had incisions!!!

No problems really. I HATE the nebulizer in my nose though.

YOU MADE IT!!!

I cant wait to see your progress.

Congrats on your surgery! I am a classically trained chef, so I know exactly what you are talking about when it comes to food. Food is my passion, so it will be interesting to transform the way I cook from OMG that is fatty, and greasy, and delicious, to OMG that is delicious and GOOD for me.
