Oh my lord. That's a lot in a week! Go girl! Someone else is down that much too! I'm thirsty too. I have a headache today and I know it's from not enough fluid.

Did you lose anything during your preop diet?

Yeah, you're a day after me :) I wonder if things kind of even out between preop and post op. I'm 23 pounds down total as of yesterday. A quarter of a whole HUNDRED in only a few weeks. I know it's going to slow down but DANG! How motivating huh?

How much fluids are you getting in a day? Have you been moving/walking a lot?

Btw, I have taken pretty much regualr sized sips, not baby ones, this whole time and I've been ok so far. I accidentally chugged some crystal light in the middle of the night last night (for about 3 seconds) when I woke up because I was half asleep and forgot all about the baby stomach and I freaked out and waited for major pain or vomiting and it was fine. I wouldn't advise it but so far I haven't felt anything unusual today.

uhm, I'm bad on the exercising. I have been doing shopping and walking that way but no official exercise. I do seem to get very tired when I'm out and about. Like, I actually want to fall asleep and I'm physically exhausted after 1 store. No excuse now that I'm a week out. I promised myself I would start on my treadmill tomorrow.
