Day 2 post op

I'll be going home soon. I can't believe the amounts of fluid we have to take. By the time I'm finally done the liquid Tylenol, it's time for the calcium. Before I'm done that they hand me a liquid multi vitamin and so on. I can't forget the water of course!

You can do it! I believe once we have committed to this path of weight loss, we have the strength and fortitude to achieve success. :) I am in Toronto for pre-op October 24th and am having surgery Nov.15 at St. Joe's Toronto  

Hey dhamd032!

Congrats on your recent surgery. It might seem a little daunting, but you can make it happen. One thing that I found, was that I thought I wasn't getting enough fluids in for the first week... but really, you have just been through major surgery. I didn't dwell on it though. Do your best to get in all the fluids that you can. Don't forget that there is a chance, and it is normal, that you don't get all your protein or calories in for the first little while. I almost forgot about that around day 3 or 4.... but then I was reminded not to worry, and again, do my best. I did my best and before I knew it, I was right on track.

Focus on protein drinks, sip sip sip...walk walk walk and get your water in as best as you can.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Skotti
