HI Chi-chic here,

I was sleeved in Chicago on 12/29/09. Regretted it the first day due to anesthesia related paralyzing nausea. Second day and beyond I am sailing through getting better everyday with walking, Protein, getting out the house etc.

Hi all, was sleeved on the 29th as well, of course regretted doing it the first few days, but now being 6 days out feel better except for one annoying incision which really bugs me when i cough or sneeze, but that too shall pass. . . it's not infected just sore. . . still on Clear Liquids until Tuesday, then start mushies (can't wait), no nausea here at all. . . only problem was REALLY swollen belly. . . looked major pregnant! That was not attractive at all . . .

I just went to wal mart and I am pooped! Are you having a problem w energy? I ws shopping for stuff to start eating Tues. I found Protein Water packets to add to bottles of water. They are only 5g of protein but as long as I am sipping, I may as well be getting some protein, right? I got the strawberry kiwi. I think it is by Kellogs. I like it.

What ideas do ya;ll have for eating on Tues?

If you are checking back in to this forum, I am about to post an easy cream of broccoli Soup that I think we can eat tomorrow. It is easy to make and pretty high in Proteins. It will be under the recipe sharing.

I was sleeved on the 29th! I weighed myself for the first time today and can't believe it! I have just moved onto full liquids. Once I stop feeling so panicky about "am I doing it wrong?" or "am I going to get a leak?" I will be in a way better place. But it's going really well so far!

How is everyone? It seems like some of us have been moved along at different rates as far as our diets. I get to start mushies Tues. So far grits have given me the most problem. I fill up on them really fast. How are you doing on your protiens?

Hi sorry I have been a little MIA. Trying to take care of little things, because I go back to work on wed 1/13/10 after my 2 week post-op visit.

Energy: not that bad, I have been going to the gym for a 30 min treadmill walk (i live in the frigid midwest) after that I need a nap, but overall I feel great!. End of the day I am tired and sleep good, but during the day is ok.

Food: I move to soft solid foods this wed. I have been on pureed consistency since I left the hospital. I still seem to have to have a Protein shake daily to make my 60-75 grams. Hopefully that will change once I move to soft solids and can have more chicken. I do get real full on a few spoonfuls of food, so that may present a challenge when the food is more solid/dense.

gas: still burp alot, I think this is how I have to judge full. More need to burp as I fill up.

weight: I lost a lot that first week 14 over the first few days, then my monthly came and gained 2 back, now i'm down another 4 for a total of 16 lbs since surgery.

Just my little update. Please let me know how its going for everyone else.

Wow that is good. I have not gotten in that much Protein yet. Today is the best I have done and so far I have only gotten in 38 grams. I feel like I have to try to eat all the time to get it in. Am I the only one not getting enought protein?

      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!!
