I started at 225 and my first goal was 175 lbs. I'm at 181.8 so it's just around the corner. My clothes are barely starting to fit because I never really bought "fat " clothes,  just dealt with wearing huge tshirts and leggings for 2years almost.  I can't wait to wear my actual clothes once i'm back down to 165 and lower.  I'm a lifetime fluctuator. I just hope my tool helps me prevent regain. That's the main reason I got it. I can lose weight. That's the easy part.  Keeping it off is just daunting. In so hopeful.

I am having the worst time with my hydration! I can barely sip. It hurts. I started sucking on the syringe used for my liquid codeine and I got some powerade zero down using it.  Whatever works.  I can't believe they want me to start my protein shakes so fast! I can hardly do the water. I do want have it though.  Argh. I did manage to get two chewy vitamins down slowly but much faster than water.  Warm beef broth goes down ok so far. My stitches look like a pentagram. Haha

The surgery went great. They said I had a tiny hernia repaired with 2 stitches. 

I did up with moaning, aching, excruciating pain. They gave me codeine then morphine since it was too weak. The morphine is so nasty. They sent me home with both. 

I was walking within 2.5 hrs. It was rough but I had great nurses and seeing all the other women in the boat helped. Solidarity!

I was the last to leave because I met my goals last. I'm a pain wuss.  Bless my wonderful mother for being my home nurse. 

I woke up just now with swelling and most of my arm numb at incision site. I hope this goes away.  I'm hungry ????  

Tips and advice welcome about anything really! 

Only 2 more days of this.  Tomorrow Sunday will be the most fun when I am only allowed water. Honestly, I'm so very hungry but I don't really like the feeling of food in my stomach or chewing or swallowing it at the moment. I am just hungry for how I was eating before the preop diet. 

I'm most worried about my pain meds. I'm such a wuss with pain. I'm afraid they'll ignore my need for it since I think i'm much more susceptible to it for some reason.  When I had my gallbladder taken out I had to stay ab extra 2 days in the hospital because of severe, unreasonable pain. Gosh. I just hope they can give me proper pain management. 

We shall see! I am down 12 lbs on this preop diet. I've always lost weight quickly, just gained it back exponentially faster. I am hopeful this will be a great tool. It just has to be!

Dear lord am I hungry. My surgery is Monday and I am so nervous excited. I'm down 12 lbs on the preop diet which is lovely but gosh does my stomach feel hungry and like it's in a knot most of the day.  I honestly can't wait to get it cut out. Is that weird? I absolutely hate the feeling of hunger. It is the bane of my existence.  Ok. I'm just hunger ranting. *sips more water*. I wish you all well on your upcoming surgery or post surgery diet!!!
