Good job with the protein!!! I'm only getting about 250-300 calories in a day.

Do you have an idea about how much food we can take in as far as ounces?

My nutri said no more than a cup per meal. So 8oz. Means u have to drink all day to get enough liquid.< /p>

Good for you with the Isopure I can only have a few sips of Water before I am full and don't want to continue. Im gonna look into the Protein Shots someone mentioned that they bought off Amazon. That way I get the Protein but don't have to drink a lot with it because it gets dreadful

U wanna keep liquids coming in tho - ward off dehydration. I sip all day long.

My pee is super clear with the Water and broth. Still have bad gas I feel it moving around but doesn't come out. I had some nice burps but most my gas pain is low I tried rocking a little to work the gas put and nothing and one do anything to help aid that? Also I read pain medication binds people up and makes them constipated

I would say no. I needed to pass gas in order to get relief from the pain. Make sure you have an ice pack and a heating pad!!!!!

I agree gas x did nothing for me either. It is simethicone and suppose to break up the bubbles , but I found walking worked much better. One thing no one told me about was that I was not going to be able to put my bra on to go home. Still have not put it on as one of my incisions is right on the band line. Not sure what I will do when I go back to work on Monday. Probably a tight camisole under my shirt. So glad I have my own office !

I have been wearing a sports bra since the night of my surgery. It has helped a lot. I just make sure the band is pulled up high enough to not touch the upper most incision. Before that my boob was pressing on the incision and causing pain.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
