Caladonia and Chanelle - How is it going

Hi Ladies,

How did the surgeries go?  I know you were both the same week as I and Trish so I wanted to see how you were healing and how things were up to now...

I'm healing well but have to admit that so far with the two weeks pre liquids, surgery and life thus far this is definitely the most difficult of any weight loss program I had ever been on.  I knew this but was still a bit in denial. :o)

I just wanted to say hello and let you know someone was thinking about how you were doing.  Happy healing and let the journey begin. :o)

I'm doing great.  I am having no problem eating soup and egg whites - as well as my protein drinks of course.  I have good energy and am very glad I got the surgery done - even though I had to pay for it!  I notice the weight loss in my face, hands and feet first -- the shoes are flipping off my feet all the time! ha ha! 

I was on liquids for three weeks presurgery and actually didn't find it hard at all - I started thinking I should of tried an all protein drink diet before - but it's not a life solution and I'm sure I would have cheated if I didnt know I had the surgery coming up. 

My incision site is still a bit sore but healing - once that is healed I will be happier.  But I do not feel hungry and have to remind myself to get enough protein every day.  I also have to focus on drinking enough water, but otherwise I am not finding this hard at all.  I hope you find it easier soon!

Callie.

Hi JAMS,

I am so sorry that it took me a lot of time to write about my surgery.  We are also in the process of adopting and it takes a lot of my time.  The surgery went really well accept the 12 hour drive back, i had pain in my left shoulder with the prescription in my hand...stupid me! it takes a nurse to forget to bring painkillers.

The first time i tried to eat solid food i felt sick, i took a big bite without thinking...but now it's going great.

I am loosing about 2 pounds a week and the first 3 weeks i lost 15 pounds. I wish i could wake up 75 pounds liter.  I had a fill when they put the band and i am wondering how long i have to wait to get another?

Thanks for taking the time to see how i am doing, that is really nice of you.  As you can probably see i am french so i am trying very hard to write in english lol!
