Had surgery Thursday
Surgery seems to have gone ok. I was much more uncomfortable than I expected the first 2 and a half days but most discomfort is gone now. I'm walking a lot and sipping almost constantly. Managed to get in almost 2 litres today. Mostly premier protien but also yogurt and applesauce and an ounce of cottage cheese.
how long do I need to sleep sitting up, or is that just a matter of personal comfort?
this is really a one day at a time thing.

I was never told to sleep sitting up, but due to some pretty rough incision pain I slept very propped up for about 2weeks. Side or stomach sleeping was too painful. Glad you are on the losers bench now. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
