I'm March 17th too!!! Good luck everyone.

I have just joined also and my date is the 16th of March.  I am having those same feelings but I am going to rely on God to get me through this.  I am stinking tired of the liquid diet but I have lost 14 pounds since 3/2/09.  My goal is 114 more.  Will keep you in my prayers also.

Hi Shannon.

I am 4 days post op and home from the hospital since Wednesday.  Trying to get in a 'schedule' for eating and getting my liquids in.  I can pretty much eat 'cream of' soups and cream of wheat, protien shakes, SF popsickles, SF jello and water.  

I'm feeling pretty good but still tired.  So I nap when I need to.  I'm trying to listen to my body and not pu****!  

I was worried about gaining a bunch in the hospital from the IV fluids, but I was only up .7 from when I went in.  As of this morning, I am down 4.5 pounds since I went in on Monday and down almost 25 since I started the 2 week pre-op diet.

Thanks for posting, it's nice to hear other stories.

Yes, the soreness lasted a while with me as well. I'm a stomach sleeper, so I purposely laid on my stomach little by little everynight and now I'm comfortable. Congrats on your weight loss! Be careful with the crackers! I'm sure it was mushy after you chewed it, but I'd hate to see it get stuck!
