Just Got To Say It...

I am about to bust with excitement.  Just had my surgery 8/18 at 8:30 am and came home yesterday evening at 8:30 pm.  It must of been the excitement that kept me so keyed up.  My surgery was perfect, my surgeon a dream and the hospital staff awesome.  I couldn't of asked for a better experience.  I've been working on getting my clear liquids in all day today.  Wow, that is hard.  Just don't want to get dehydrated.  Not hard as in difficult, but just hard as in trying to get 3 to 4 oz. of liquid in an hour.  I'm loving it and can't wait til my drain is removed on Friday.  Then I will feel finally free and ready to run with this wonderful tool I've now been blessed with.  Just had to tell somebody.  I've enjoyed reading all of your posts and can't wait to be a part of them.  Hope everyone has a blessed evening!

July 1 weighed 329 - Pre Op weight loss got me to 298!  Anyone who is planning to do this I totally recommend starting early with some of your liquid fasting.  It made a world of difference in my surgery!

Congratulations and welcome!  Thanks so much for the advice on liquid fasting.  I started doing a shake for breakfast this week and hope to keep increasing meal replacements the closer I get to my possible surgery.    Good luck and I look forward to being a part of our forum here!

Congrats on your VSG.

Definitely do everything you can to keep sipping.  Dehydration is a cruel thing.  Experiment with fluids at different temps.  Sometimes hot vs cold can be the difference in how much you get in an hour.  Your energy level will flucuate accordingly with your hydration level.

Congrats to you. I know exactly how you feel as mine was just done 8-07-08. Everyday gets better and better. The protein is the challenge for me. Today is 2 weeks from my surgery date and weighed this morning. I have lost 14 lbs. :)))))))))))))))))))))

Hope things continue to go well for you.

Congratulations to you! great to hear how everything went smooth and welcome to the losers bench.
