Turning 40 this year scares me. I decided it was now or never to turn this boat around. I'm 5'11 weighed 232 prior to procedure. I would like to get to 180. I know I will need a tummy tuck after as all my weight is in my belly. Currently post op day 4. Just began meal replacement shakes after being on clear liquids the past 3 days. I'm really not hungry. Pain was not unbearable after surgery. It was a burning sensation in my stomach. I haven't had any pain today. I'm up and doing my usual routines, taking care of kids. I'm very optimistic that this will be my saving grace.
