My surgery was May 14 and it was successful. Today is the first time I have felt like getting online; I need something to distract me from the pain. Yes, I know that is what pain medication is for, but it makes me sleepy. Since I have been home from the hospital, I have been walking laps on the driveway, but yesterday I was able to drive myself to the track and walk 21 minutes. Today I walked around Kmart getting some supplies and will walk later this evening at the track as well.

The thing I am having difficulties with is drinking at least 1 liter of water. I am so afraid I will get too full and stretch my pouch. I want to utilize this tool in the proper way and have a successful outcome.

My weight today is 363.6. I have lost 13.4 lbs since surgery.

Today I went for a final pre-op doctor's visit. I have been scheduled for Gastgric Bypass Surgery on Monday, 5/14/2012.

I AM SO EXCITED AND READY FOR A CHANGE IN MY LIFE.

Today I had my first official weight check; I lost 17 lbs in 10 days. YEA!!!!!   I have another appointment next week, right now I have been penciled in for surger on May 14th. I AM SO EXCITEDC!!!!!!

4/17/12 - I received my shipment of Designer Whey Shakes (vanilla). The shakes are not bad, I did not try any other flavors since vanilla is my favorite - YUM YUM!!! 

4/16/12, I started the preoperative weight loss plan which will consists of 2 MRS's and 1 high protein meal. I made it through the day, however, I was shy 8 oz of liquid, the liquid intake goal of 64 ozs will be reached tomorrow. I have my Preop Psych Eval on 4/18/12 and my first weigh-in will be 4/30/12. I am very excited!!!! I was reading some posts of people staying they had a problem with the being hungry throughout the day, but I did not have that problem at all. I am focused on staying with the plan, in fact, I have written out a meal schedule for each week, so that I know what I will be eating daily.

Sunday - Friday will consist of 2 MRS's (breakfast and lunch), high protein meal (dinner).

Saturday will consist of 3 high pretein meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
