All went well with my surgery yesterday. I was very groggy after the surgery and had a headache for hours. Morphine did not help so I was given an alternate pain medication. My doctors just now approved me to have liquids. My pain now is comparable to the side pain you get after working out (being out of shape). I have issues with breathing in deeply. I've been told this is normal and will improve. I have to use a blower 10x and hour to improve my lungs.

Today I was only clear liquids only. I only drank water and I am honestly doing ok. Of course I am sedentary at work but I am proud I have made it through the liquid phase! 2 weeks of suffering and my real journey begins tomorrow.

Last night of "foods". Shakes that is. Tomorrow I have to drink clear liquids only. I'm not scared. Since I have no hunger, I don't think this will be a problem. 

I no longer have hunger. I've only taken 2 shakes today but lots of water. I take B12 complex daily under my tongue and a multivitamin. I guess this helps so I won't be fatigued. My face is slimming down. I took a before a few weeks ago and showed my kids the difference. Wow.

I fixed french toast this morning sweet and sour meatballs for the kids today but was not tempted. It's weird to NOT be hungry!?

I was down to 380 this morning. Yay me.

So, this week the real cravings have kicked in. I have been craving a cheeseburger for the past few days. On a couple of occasions, I drank pickle and peppercini juice...yes, the juice. 

I am over half way there and feeling awesome.

Bad news- went for my pre-op bloodwork and I was 401 pounds.

Good news, I am day 6 of my liquid pre-op diet and have lost 19 pounds making me 382 pounds. Yay!
