I had my surgery 1/22/15 the day of surgery I was 251 today 243. I know I shouldn't compare my self to others ,however, it seems I'm not loosing as much as others sleeved the same time as me. My doc hasn't cleared me for the gym yet and I have had no issues with surgery or since just trying to get my energy back. I,m so ready to start water aerobics again! I have been walking. I,m doing ok getting in my protein 75 gms, but the calories 800 a day has been an issue for me. I feel like I'm getting

So I had my surgery 1/22 and if you read my other blog post you will see I have done really well. 1 week after surgery to the day I began itching (from healing) and when I say itch I mean like I got poison ivy drive you crazy itching! and it is still going on I can take Benadryl and that helps some, but never really thought about itching. I have had no pain just a small amount of soreness. I still get worn out easily but Dr. says that is normal and will take time to get back to normal. I am still

My surgery was Thursday and was 45 min long, I did really well according to Dr. Heider. The worst part was the gas (and still is sometimes it really hurts) and the no fluids until the next morning.

Well after my little rant of not loosing for 3 days I woke up to 2 lb loss so I'm down 9 lbs in 10 days I think it is. So that is pretty good. I have been nesting I think I have been cleaning and throwing things away, rearranging furniture I don't feel nervous but maybe it's nervous energy just two more days until surgery. I am so ready for this. I'm thankful for the people who are supportive and I'm so glad I have this place to write what's going on and receive inspiration and feedback.

Ok so Thursday is the big day for me and my Dr wants me to loose 13 lbs before surgery. I am on the opti fast plan which has actually been pretty easy for me except day 2 I had a terrible headache. But since then not bad about the 2hour 45 min mark I start to get hungry so I just drink more water. The problem is for the last 3 days I haven't lost any weight I am stuck at 255 which is a loss of only 7 lbs and I don't know why. I have been so strict I have done exactly as I was told eat every 3 hours.
