This time next week.....

I will be in surgery or close to it!  I'm so excited.  My first thought this morning was "This is the beginning of my last week as a fat person!"  From that point on I will no longer think of myself as fat.  I will think of myself as a loser.  It will be downhill from there.  No more "I can't"...only "wow look at what I am doing". 

THats a wonderful and positive point of view! I"m definitely pulling for you!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you!  How are you doing?  Looks like you just had surgery.

I'm doing fairly well.....I'm officially 2 weeks post op today and started my soft foods this am!!! Egg beaters and mashed banana!!! It was the BEST and I managed tokeep it down which was a concern. HOwever Ihave to say I've been really blessed and haven't had any issues with nausea or vomiting at all....postop pain was gone in a week......my only complaints have been some severe fatigue and weakness and some shortness of breath. But Ithink I may have been dehydrated....Iwas taking in my required 64oz of fluid a day but realized:"Duh, I'mona diuretic!!!" so I stopped the diuretic and have tried toget in a little more liquids and today am feeling better already.....you're gonna do great!!!!! and since I"m a few weeks ahead of you....feel free tocontact me anytime !!!!

Doctors are all so different.  I can't have soft foods until week 5 or 6 I think.  Thank you so much.  I will be contacting you!
