Liquid Diet rules!

No, not what are the rules... I mean it rules!!!  I already lost about 20 lbs and it has already made a difference in walking up the stairs to my apartment.  I had to stop and puff for up to five minutes each time before and now it still makes me breathe hard but not nearly as hard.  It's no longer something I will try to avoid as much as possible.  Woot!

Sounds like you are doing great. I can't wait until it is my turn! My doc said I could do light exercises like walkng until I am cleared.

I can't wait for the pain to let up in my knees. The pain in my knees only started 6 weeks ago.

For some reason, my knees were KILLING ME for the last 3-4 weeks up until surgery. They haven't hurt since I've been here. Better get used to the not eating. I did my five day liquid diet and now, I don't eat anything by mouth. I can swish water around my mouth and have to spit it out. I have a leak test today, which I'm really not looking forward to, but will be happy that then I get to drink water and such.
