I can't believe it, I'm a big loser!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone, Well here I am exactly weeks post op and feeling better as days go by. I had my first visit with my surgeon on my 12th day and lost 20lbs. I can honestly say that I thought I was prepared for this but I really wasn't. I don't think anyone has any idea until you actually go through with it. I was in the hospital for 4 days instead of 2 because I wasn't drinking enough water. It was very difficult sipping instead of drinking especially when my mouth had a bad taste to it. I had muscle spasms on my calves and immediately I had a sonogram done to make sure I didn't have any blood clots. I had an EKG done because one evening while I was trying to sleep I felt like my heart was going to come out of my chest. All tests came back negative, thanks GOD!!!!! When I first came home it was difficult because everyone was eating around me and it wasn't that I was hungry but just craving to have what they had. It was hard at first but it has gotten better and I even cook for my family with no problem. My sipping has improved eventhough I still want to drink. I was put on 2 weeks of soft puree, 2 weeks of puree, 2 weeks of soft solid, and finally solids after that. I'm glad I did it. I just can't wait for the results. Good Luck Everyone!!!!!! Blanca
