28#! You are doing remarkable! Sorry about the pain, I can't even imagine, but soon enough they all 3 will be out! You are making wonderful progress! So happy for you as well! I wish I had tips on tolerating foods, I'm all new to that as well. Just trying to train myself to eat again, too. Maybe try going a little slower and taking smaller bites? Not really sure! If I come up with tips or tid bits - I will share lol! Glad today went well though & you are doing great!

I don't have any tips for increasing liquids, but to constantly sip all day. It will feel like that's all you do is drink all day. Time yourself. Try to get one cup in every 15-30mins. TV commercials can actually help with this if you are home or haven't returned to work yet. Sip, sip, sip throughout commercials & when the show comes back on stop & then repeat the cycle. Alternate with walking! Protein Shakes take about an hour and half to get down for me still. But I typically have been drinking two a day with purée meals (my MDs program weans you off of them)

Keep up the good work ladies!

I was also sleeved on the 26th! I have lost 27 all together including preop... 12 since surgery but tomorrow that may be different.... anyways I started puree as of day 3 and im on till day 21. I drink2 Protein Shakes a day to help with my Protein intake. One of the shakes i basically make it into a smoothie and add goodies like natural peanut butter.. plain greek yogurt for extra protein. I am fortunate enough to have suffer very lil to no discomfort. .. nor problems drinking anything or really even the amount. Anyways... I am eating this like pureed refries Beans with ff sour cream.. pureed egg salad with low fat mayo and mustard... pureed chilli.. etc. I always add cheese to just about everything to give it a lil extra. I melt a lowfat babybel cheese and thats an extra 6 grams right there! Or drink a v8... that has a lil boost of protein in it also.

Im tryin to keep my Water intake up. 26# is awesome!! Its exciting huh? What are ur stats. Glad to have a same day buddy!! My hands and feet are looking weird lol less puffy and long. when I try to relax I feel bony sometimes like crossing my legs. Its awesome :). Keep up the good work ladies. Tomorrow I start the eliptical if my fever is gone (prayers please).

      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!!
