So this is actually my first blog, I've been on various types of forums and even a local "bodybuilding" site but that was 10 years ago. I guess this is something to keep me occupied since I'm not much of a book reader and being limited to lifting 5lbs is horrible. I feel so useless since I have always been the big strong man. Sniff... hold me. lol

I'm 8 days out from my surgery now, feeling pretty darn good. I was initially worried about bowel movements, let's say over the last few days this is no longer a concern. A little TMI but alot of people experience this problem.

Eating
I have been advised to follow a 4 week Full fluid diet after surgery. I have read numerous different post-op instructions but I will follow my Bariatric nurses and dieticians advice. Waiting a few more weeks for solid food won't kill me, and I might loose some weight faster staying on it.

Energy
My energy isn't too bad as long as I don't do anything, lol. Sounds weird but it's true. After going to a few stores shopping I'm spent, maybe it's watching the wife shop and not the surgery at all, who knows.

Stomach Staples
I hate this things, they get hooked in clothes, itch, get irritated which irritates me lol. They come out in two days.. can't wait.

That's all to report for now i guess, getting bored with protein shakes, puddings and such... but no sacrifice, no victory?

Take care all
