How's everyone doing? We're, what, on day 9. Wow. Time flies. I'm still on full liquids until Tues. Then soft foods til day 30. Then I can introduce regular food, one at a time. I can't believe it takes me 30 min. to eat 1/4 c. of cream of wheat! Never thought that would happen!! Lol!

I hope everyone's recovery has been smooth and speedy. I feel very blessed to be on this wonderful journey!

Loool tell me about it. It takes me all day to sip on a 12oz shake of Protein. Not sure I'm getting all my liquids in but I seem okay. So what are you having now, bc I've gotten so bored with what having, maybe u can enlighten me! I'm feeling great though.. been going out and taking long walks all over downtown DC with my hubby and little ones.. like 3 to 5 hours and honestly I feel so good ♡

I have my check up on tuesday as well, can't wait :-)

I'm kinda bored, too. I've been eating cream of wheat, Protein Shakes, greek yogurt (plain)-yuck! Taste like I'm eating sour cream. Lol. I need to try to add something to it! I've also been having Soup a lot. Sounds weird in this SoCal heat wave. But it tastes so good. I just use the emersion blender to make it very smooth. I'm also starting to make smoothies. 1c. soy/almond milk, 1c. frozen fruit, 2 packets of Splenda and a few ice cubes. Blend until smooth. It makes a lot, though. Still not used to the downsized portions! :rolleyes: So I just have some and freeze the rest for later. Take it out 1/2hour or so before you want it. Hope it helps. Best of luck to you!

      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.

      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!!
