Only 12 days after surgery but Doc said I did great in surgery and already I have dropped 50lbs. (3 week pre-op diet and 2 week post-op). So my average is about 10lbs a week so far. I have no trouble with my daily Water intake and usually go over that. I average 4oz with heavy foods like Beans, turkey chili and about 5oz with yogurts or Soups.

I just do not think personally though that they have a set procedure yet. There are just to many people at different stages doing different things like puree for 2 weeks then some only 1 week. Solids at 6 weeks then I get to at only 12 days.

Oh yeah, she still won't let me have coffee though. :huh:

Good to hear. Don't go nuts like I did or you'll end up heaving into a garbage can in front of a class of 25 college students. It leads to a frank and interesting discussion about VSG, but was considered unprofessional.

Tried steak yesterday and all went well the rest of the day. Only issue got a little nausea when I took my bedtime meds and tipped the Water glass and chugged. This is the only draw back so far is I forget to drink slow sometimes and forget about being sleeved. My portion size is tiny compared to what I used to eat but am very content with it.

This is going to work, Yes!!!

A new York strip and I only tried about 4ounces. It rocked. The great thing about the sleeve that I did not originally know before looking into it was meat and cheese are great for our Protein. The already were my favorites which works for me.

WOW that's incredible! Good for you! I am surprised your doc did that so early, just be careful though. I completely get the Water thing, I still forget (2months out) and chug and its like a brick wall hits in my chest. However it is getting easier when I do it, that is a good sign. Keep up the good work!

      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!!
