I am doing well, thank you. I am on my second almost third week of the post op liquid diet. A bit dizzy from not eating or getting enough shakes in, but besides that doing well! How are you doing ?

My surgery was on the 17th also (but I'm wicked old compared to most of you. Lol.)

I haven't told many people either: the cousin who inspired me to have VSG and the aunt who asked me if I'd ever consider going what my cousin did (We're very close and I was in pre-op mode and my mouth/brain wouldn't let me lie to her). The week before, I told a close friend because she's my medical emergency contact. That was it.

I've since told the 2nd of my 3 close friends (again, I just couldn't make myself lie when she asked what was new...oh, nothing, just lying here with 5 holes in my belly and missing most of my stomach...you know, same old, same old). I will tell the third friend before I see her in August.

I haven't yet decided whether I will tell my dad. We're close too, but live far away from each other so sometimes we take "but I didn't want to worry you" too far...to the point that he now brings medical reports when he visits so he doesn't get the third degree from my aunt and I. Lol.

I'm close to a few people at work, but they definitely don't need to know.

Oh, and I've never been so excited at the thought of eating an egg or cottage cheese!!!! Counting down to Tuesday!

Yeah it is nice to meet people who are going through the process that are in there 20's.
