It's true! Day 4 is much better!

I'm happy to report that you were all right and day 4 is much better than day 3.  Thanks for the smart advice!  I'm liking the view from this side of surgery much better today!

Every day from here on gets better. I still don't have the energy I think I should, but I haven't been exercising much, so I'm sure it's my fault and has nothing to do with the surgery. I've hit my 3 week stall, but not getting discouraged. I'm already down 3 pant sizes....you're well on your way my sparkly friend!!!

Wow!  3 pants sizes!  That is very impressive.  I can't even imagine.  I'm very curious to see how fast I lose.  I try not to dwell on it but when all you're doing is drinking sugar free, it's hard not to think about.  Now I'm just trying to decide if I'm going back to work on Monday or waiting until Tuesday.  I'm doing so much better today! Are you going to be at the support group meeting on Thursday?

Am going to try to make Support this week. We are going to Niagara and fly in Thursday (looking at paperwork for time.....) at 2:42p.m. Might be pushing it to get there. BUT, I may be so ready for "me" time, that I'll leave the family at home with all the luggage and escape. Ah.....family vacations.......lol

It's the plastic surgeon this month.  I wanna see those picture!

That's great news, Kim! Drinking all that liquid guarantees a weight loss, you know. I went in for surgery at 303 and went back for the checkup at 289.

I'm working on those liquids.  But drinking isn't quite the same now.  It's kinda weird but I'm getting used to it.  I know that drinking is the most important thing a person can do, especially now!

I had a hard time in the beginning so Dr. Waltons said to shoot for 45 oz or he was putting me back in the hospital. Phenergren gel came to the resuce and I was able to hydrate myself..speaking of which, it's time for more Crystal LIght Peach tea!

I'm happy you're feeling better, Kim!  As for drinking, I'm almost 6 weeks out and I find it still difficult to drink somethings.  Not all liquids go down the same.  I find I can tolerate water only if I have a mix of some kind in it, and I still love hot beverages.  And cold tea makes me have heartburn.  You have to experiment w/ your new tummy and see what it likes!  Have a great weekend!  I'm planning on going to the support group meeting this week and hope to meet some of you!  Diana

Diana - I plan on being at the support group meeting.  I'll be so happy to meet you!  You'll have to introduce yourself because I'm not very swift at picking people out!
