Congratulations Denise!!!! I do know that being scared and nervous is so totally normal. But I know that you will feel so much better once the Melting begins and you are a Loser. Good Luck and Congratulations. I can't wait to post a date but I am at the very beginning stages of WLS. I am soooo jealous. LOL. (((HUGS))) Erin

HI Denise I had a really hard time, the first few weeks out--the "what the heck did I do to myself" syndrome. It gets better, once you are up and moving and out and about. This place is really a great source of suport!!! Good Luck! Carolyn

The first couple of weeks, you will be concentrating on your physical recovery...at least that was the case for me. I was very focused on getting the right amount of water & protein into my body and walking a bit more every day. It is a tough road...but worth every minute! I can honestly say that I had my surgery 2 yrs ago and never regretted it...even once.
