It's official! I went from a wanna be to a LOSER!!

Wanted to let you all know that I am staying with friends and doing well. I lost 25 pounds before my surgery... 17 on the liquuid diet alone! My surgeon was really psyched and said I was the big winner of the day... but I am on the hunt to be the loser of the day!! I wante to thank all of you for all of the words of encouragemet and support you ahve given me. What an amazing community this is. I am sore as heck and cannot imagine eating or drinking anything but I got broth and crystal light in yesterday andstarted my day today with 1/4 cup pf apple sauce. Any words of advice on how to handle this recovery period would be very much appreciated. Thanks again you guys

Welocme to the loser's bench- I will add you to our list tonight!

Are you sure you are allowed apple sause? On the diet we use, that is a mushie and not allowed for the first 2 weeks......of course, your doctor's orders may be different.

Thannks for checking that out. Our diet allows us to move to "full liquids" and they consider apple sauce and even instant oatmeal to be on that list. On to mushies in another week.

My words of advice are...follow all the rules.   It's important.  Do as they say and you will be a big loser !!!  Congratulations and best of luck.    Make sure you get walking today it will help with the gas and your strength.

 

cheers

Welcome Jill - glad to see you on the bench -safe and sound!

As they say- walk- sip - walk - sip -

And girly thats about all you can handle the first lil while - takes up most of your day - get lots of rest and as much protein as you can it aids with your healing and recovery - follow your drs rules and when in doubt about anything - call them to be sure - that is what they are there for !

You are off to a fantastic start and are well on your way!

Congrats
