Love reading all these reports. I was sleeved Monday 10/8 and Wedneday the loose bm's started. And a few explosions' date=' luckily I made it in time. I don't remember any yesterday, and def not today. Anyone one a regular schedule? Used to be daily coffee and hit the Lu. Maybe ill take a stool softener in the am if I need it.[/quote']

I was so sleeved 10/8 and loose or rather liquid bms started wed for me too. Im getting in at least 55 oz liquid daily trying for at least 64 but havent made it yet. I am still having liquid bms today...several times a day. Like just about every time i go pee. I hope it will get better when we progress to puree. My bariatric coordinator told me to expect this during preop teaching. Liquid in=liquid out lol

I got sleeved 10/9/12. Thank God I did not have any pain aside from headaches. Had regular BM's this week. Still on full liquid diet. My mom is an angel and has made me the best ever chicken broth! I've been existing on protien shakes, juice, Water, broth, Popsicles, and Jello. Not majorly hungry. Kind of sucky to smell pizza and not able to have it. I guess that's my head hunger telling me that I want it? Not sure, keeping busy at home, my BFF came to stay with me a fees days to make sure I didn't die! She made sure I sipped instead of chugged and that I didn't lift anything heAvy.

I am blessed everything went smoothly.

Glad everything is going so smoothly and you have help! I don't necessarily want to eat the pizza, but I DO want to smell it.

Those are looking fantastic! I will be two weeks on Tuesday and I still have the glue on mine and the one from the drain is just pink and healing. Funny how our new holes are all in different spots.

Are you still having any pain on your largest incision where your stomach was removed? I am still having pains only on my left side and I yet have had a BM :( other than the pain on my left side I feel great.

I was "allowed" on the scale today and I am down 5 pounds, 32.4 since 1st consultation. Most of it was pre-op, but for the first time I know those pounds WILL NOT BE BACK! I haven't been this weight since before I was diagnosed with cancer. Hoping to see One-derland for Christmas. **happy dancings**

I'm three days out and today the swallowing pain is much better. Incisions don't hurt, just tender which is to be expected. Just got my nails done, took a walk now going to watch football while I drink my egg drop broth.< /p>

      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!!
