    Hi,
    I am going to follow your post. I am 16 days post surgery and am having a similar experience. I do find that if I don't drink for a while, I can get a large smoothie down (slowly). I hope you get good advice so I can learn from it too. The main think my doctor told me is to listen to my body. If it is telling me no more - quit eating or drinking.

    Thanks very much! Its certainly a big change to my lifestyle. I went back to work right away and found my energy was really low but things are looking up.
  4. I am doing well - I do not like being sleepy all of the time so I am weaning off of the pain meds. Went from midnight friday to midnight Saturday without any. Took one at midnight last night so that I could sleep well. Being home from the hospital is a good thing, Wish the Foley was gone but it will be soon enough (Tuesday morning) Not feeling bad and trying to be sure that I get in my water for the day. I see my surgeon on Wednesday.

    Thanks for the good wishes. Flying to San Diego, tomorrow. Surgery Monday. Started my pre-op liquid diet, yesterday. Had 3 RTD protein shakes, a s/f Jello, and a s/f Italian ice. Today, I also had a cup of broth and the warmth was fantastic. With all the packing and planning, I really don't have time to think about food. Feeling very excited to start my new, healthy life. Good luck to you, too. Will keep you posted, for sure, please do the same!

I started out as a healthy normal sized child. In high school and even college I maintained a healthy weight without effort. After the birth of each of my three children I kept the weight that I gained with the pregnancy and then continued to add a few pounds each year. I yoyo diet for years. In and out of weight watchers countless times, weigh down workshop, atkins diet, 1000 cal a day diet, and the list goes on. Nothing ever worked forever and I would always gain back the weight I had lost
