I'm a loser!

Hello all, I'm among the first batch of Sept 2005 losers and wanted to come on here to show you all that it's not that bad! I'm in a bit of pain, but I went into surgery with a very high pain level because of my co-morbidities, so you can't use me as a guide. Tomorrow I start eating babyfoods... I'm so excited, can't you tell? Seriously though, a protein shake sounds soooooo appealing to me, it's been 6 days now without any food for me and it feels like an eternity when I see someone eat a burger or have a milkshake, but I know it's for good, and I'm fortunate that the few around me are undrestanding enough to keep the interest level of the food they partake of down to a minimum LOL... Best wishes all!!! And I hope you have fast and uneventful recoveries!!! HUGS!!! Rachel PS If I'm not around much, be patient, sitting at a computer is still a bit physically taxing.

RACHEL!!!! I am so glad to hear from you, I have thought about you all week. I am on my clear liquids and protien shakes, and I go in tues..... I am so glad to hear that you are ok fine and recovering at home. Take care and keep walking and drinking those fluids!! Debbie

Rachel I am so glad to hear you are doing good. I got so excited when I saw that you posted! So how does it feel to be on the losing side. I can not wait! My surgery got changed from the 14th to the 16th. i am ok with it, but I still can not wait to start my new life. Can't wait to hear from you again, but take your time to recover!!! Good luck with the baby food tomorrow! Carrie

Congrats Rachel!! I know how you feel, but doesn't it feel great? I had surgery Thursday also. Happy losing.. Stephanie

Rachel... Glad to hear from you and really happy that you are doing so well!! Now no gorging on the baby food...LOL...but isn't it funny how that is exciting for you? I am tickled that you are coming along and able to let us know how you are doing. Hang in there! Peggy ~A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step~

Congrats on your surgery. I am glad to hear you are doing so well. I hope you enjoy your baby foods. What are you going to eat? What liquids did you have for the first 6 days? Just curious as someone who is having her surgery in 2 weeks. Jill

Rachel, thanks for saying i'ts not so bad! I needed that! lol Please keep us posted, and drink, drink, drink. Is it really that hard to drink?? Sandy

yes, at first it is very difficult to drink... I'm up to about 24 oz a day now, I'm supposed to be at 64 oz a day... I'm getting there though. HUGS Rachel PS Saw the other messages, sorry I'm going to bed now.
