I just got home walked around my property a little bit and now i am relaxing. It could not have went any better. Thank you all for your support It made the entire process more bareable. I will kepp everyone updated day by day for the next week.

This is encouraging! I hope you are doing well today. :eek: I'm counting down five days until surgery, can't wait to join you!

Sounds like you are well! Congratulations!!!!!! I am 5 days away!

Well I want to account the last few days for all of you

day of surgery: Pain was ok and bearable but it took me most of the day to recover from all the drugs.

day 2: Pain was much worse took alot of percs. and slept through it . between the gas and the abdominal pain it was bad

day 3: woke up had some yogurt went to work for a 3/4 day. went home napped and felt overall good.

day 4: awesome went to work no more gas pains just soreness in the abdominal area

day 5 : today. at work happy and down alot of weight I am actually going to try to get down mor calories today. I have been getting down the correct amount of Protein and Water each day but I am going to shoot for 500 calories today

I weighted 332lbs on sunday as of this morning I weighed 313 lbs.

The pain and waiting was well worth it. Within a couple more weeks I will be the lightest I have been in 3 years. I am going to go to the gym (start off slow) on monday morning. I am very Pumped.

Congrats to you jweiss1000!!!! I love to read the good experiences!!! I am scheduled for the 19th and would like to have the same results as you!! I want to lose 100lbs.

Do you think you will have any problems with not drinking when you get to eat reg food? I can't imagine not washing down my food. I was told Applesauce would be OK to use instead and not leave you thirsty. Does anyone else have any comments on this???
