Knock, Knock...

Anyone home that had there surgeries last week and monday that is well enough to check in???? rita

I am doing AWESOME....read my profile....You are going to do wonderful too!!! This was the best thing that I have ever done..... Hugs

MEMEMEMEMME!! I'm at home, still fighting the liquids.... ready for something more mentally, but I know my 8 (almost 9) day old pouchie probably isn't. SOOO I'm taking it slow but agonizing over wanting everything BUT liquids But I'm getting about 3-4 bottles of water a day (16 oz) and jello, blue bunny lite yogurt (YAAAY a non jello product), and protein drinks. Struggling with vitamins still, but I work on it daily.... So I'm here, and healing, and haven't seen a scale (I can't believe my parent's don't own one.... as diet freaky as my mom has been my whole life!!) SOOOO tommorrow I'm going to go weigh on a scale at GNC, just so I have a clue! Kat

Wow that is awesome ladies!!! Thank you so much!! Your profile and story is awesome! I am a single mother too of one five year old boy...on my first "fat" appointments I told him I went to it and he ****s his head puts his hands on his hims and says "yeah...you look skinnier" LOL....kids are hilarious! Kat...my brother lives in Red Oak, TX and I live south of there!! I will be having my surgery at Baylor Medical with Dr. Arnold....I read in another post you relocated from LA after Katrina..so sorry!! I hope you like Texas! It is my HOME and I'm glad to be back (I just moved from MI)!! Congratus on your surgery!! What type did you have? Rita

I had RNY Lap done in New Orleans. I'm actually considering a job at Baylor All Saints funny little world I am staying for my 2 week checkup here in Louisiana, then I'll head home to TX (Arlington area).

my surgery went well. I have to agree the liquids after are hard because your mind says you need to chew something. I actually have eaten yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs and different soups over the last few days and have had no problems. Hard to get all the water in and the protein shake tastes good but for some reason I have a hard time drinking it. You will do awesome with your surgery. Every day gets easier and easier. Haven't taken pain meds for four days and I feel pretty good, still get tired easily, but it is getting better. Lisa
