I tried to post this a yesterday, but it didn't post for whatever reason.
I've been on this weight loss journey since January. It took 5 months of the Dr. Assisted weight loss. And I must say I did pretty good on it. I went from 239 ( I think) to 203 the day of surgery. I was approved for surgery on July 19, surgery date was July 25th. I had lost 11 lbs the last month, so the Dr. Didnt think I needed to do the "pre-surgery" diet. He gave said he had openings this Thursday or next Thursday... We were shocked. But didnt figure work would be able to give us both 2 weeks off (we work for the same company, different stores.) So I went in on Tuesday and talked to our boss. Little did I know he said get it done. So we said ok.. Hurried thru the stuff we needed to do at home, and off we went on Thursday. Spent the night in the hospital, impressed the staff as I was up and walking by myself within 2 hours. I had half my water they had given me by the next morning. I was having trouble with the sipping as I would have pain at the top of my stomach ( or so it feels). In the hospital, they didnt seem to worried. Went home, and I'm having problems with the sipping. Warm- cold it doesnt matter the pain is still there. Only good thing, is as the days go by, the pain decreases. I have already passed my intake from yesterday, so that makes us happy. My Dr. Has me text him every night, and twice a day since I'm not hitting the goal. I'm sure things will get better. Warm water and Gatorade are getring boring, but in reality, thats all I drank before surgery too. Just cold. I can't wait until I can handle cold..
