Day 7 after surgery

Slept on my right side last night. I was a little scared but had no pain at all. I couldn't really sleep last night at all and I wonder if it was my panicking of me sleeping on the right side.

Every morning I wake up, I am SUPER thirsty. I have to drink something right away. I found this died low calories iced coffee in the fridge and I have a cup through out the day. I hope that's ok. I really like it and it doesn't bother me.....I wonder if I can count this as clear liquid? It's decaf too...???? Now I'm panicking...

Today's plan? Taking a shower... Going to the supermarket to buy some stuff to take to work tomorrow(first day going back).. I don't even know what to take with me honestly....maybe pack my Tylenol just in case even though I haven't used it since I got home.

I wanna take a long walk because of the snow I haven't been able to walk much at all. I wanna go to the mall and walk for about an hour. Like my other post, I lost 13lbs as of yesterday. Yes I lost 13lbs in 6 days and I wanna continue being active so I can lose more and more.

Missing food is definitely getting easier each day. I did have an emotional breakdown yesterday because tree was rice pudding in the house (home made) and that's m favorite. What helped me? Looking at amazing pictures on this forum of people losing weight. Being able to eat good again.

I am 200 as of yesterday and I really really really want to be at 140 by summer. Do you think I can do it? Working out at least 4 times a week? I didn't go to the beach or pool last summer because I felt discussed at 210lbs. I was embarrassed. This year I wanna get a sexy one piece bathing suit and go to the beach every weekend. (2hours away). For once I wanna be able to wear shorts(haven't worn them since I was 18 now I'm 25) . I wanna change my hair and just be a new healthy me. I'm tired of being shy and not go out because I feel fat. Yes I barely hangout with my cousins because I was shy how much I weighted. They won't see me for another few months and can't wait for them to see the new me :) ... No one knows I did this tigers besides my mom and 2 sisters and my 3 best friends. I didn't even tell my SIL which I am so close with. Don't want her to be jealous and mad at me. I said I had kidney stones and I have to lose 60lbs ASAP. She's been asking me what I'm eating these few days and I lies Soup and yogurt just so she's doesn't get suspicious. I'm only on liquids. It's my choice. I hate to lie but this was my choice and me decision.

Ok I better go take that shower since I need to blow dry my hair and really wanna drive to that mall... First day out since I got home Wednesday. I miss driving my new car that my parents bought for me 3 months ago :) ... Yes guys I am thankful every day. Can't wait to graduate next fall and hopefully by 2015 get into law school as a sexy paralegal haha.. Ok enough I'm getting conceded. SORRY.. It's the only way I get motivated and love my pouch (sleeve)

Hope you all have a wonderful day and I will check back after I come home! Muahhhhhh beautiful skinny people

Hi donaboss we had surgery the sameday. Don't be scared to sleep on your side. I did the 1st night I came home. Propped a long pillow under my stomach I move the pillow when I go to my other side. I would go crazy if I could not have done than. Back was killing me in the hospital. Please be careful if you go out I thought I was ready for it, went out and was so weak. Came right back home. O well. I tried. I go for my 1st post op appt on Monday. Then Tuesday will be my 1st day back to work. Good Luck!!

Omg yay. Same day buddies.. Yea I decided not go to the mall since it's about an hour away since my mall is closed today. I'm just gonna go the supermarket and get some stuff.. My 1st post op is on Thursday. I hope I lose another 5lbs till then :) have you lost anything?

Only 9lbs since surgery ???? , but I will take it. I'm like you can't wait for this summer, I'm about 1.5 from beach, but If i get to 150-160 it will be cruise time!! My dr said 180, but my 1st goal is 160.

How much was your starting weight? My doctor told me that I will be up to 140. I will work really hard to be between 130-140.. I'm ok with 140 but would love love love to be 130sh. Yea i will go to every pool party and to every beach invite... We will be so sexy... :)

My SW was 238, today I'm 216, it went up but I think it's because it's that time of the month which sucks!! I'm right at 5'9 so really not sure what I want my weight to be that's why I say 150/160. Def not 180 like my dr said. Curious to see what he says tomorrow regarding my limits etc. will keep you posted. :)
