Holy, just looked at my surgery ticker and it's says 0 days! Not that I haven't been aware ALL day due to the clear liquid diet (STARVING!), but to see my little mermaid on the 0 mark freaked me out! lol Hoping all goes well. Started with wicked allergies yesterday. Hoping that's not a problem. Surgeries not til 12:15 EST so I guess I'll try to sleep late so I don't freak out watching my husband drink his coffee knowing that it will be a while before I can have any. Love coffee. I'll miss that more than food in the beginning. Well enough rambling. See y'all on the other side! Woot! Woot!

Stephen that's awesome! Sorry I'm getting back to you 3 days later but if you had your surgery yesterday I'm sure you understand why. Day after surgery was horrible however today I'm feeling pretty decent. A little advice would be to walk as much as you can. I hated walking in the hospital but as soon I got home I took a nap, had a few sips of Protein and got up for a SLOW 1 mile walk. I feel so much better moving. Hope all went well for your surgery! Check in and let me know how you made out

CoreyCan and everyone that has posted their support,

Everything went pretty well. I was in a lot of pain and once they stopped the IV Pain killer it was not long before I needed some of the liquid pain meds. I am home now and have some pain, moistly from gas and just keep walking so that it will go away.

Problem is that I have gained 12 pounds while in the hospital. I went in at 301 and got out at 313, I am sure its all Water weight from th IV but ist a little discouraging. I know that its temporary though. I have a great suppor system and i am sure the weight will fall off as I start as the water comes off and even more whenI get to excersising. Stephen

Hey Stephen! So glad you're home safe and sound :) So you're only a day behind me. I can tell you everyday gets a whole lot better. I'm feeling good today, lots of energy and stomach muscles are starting to feel better. As far as the gas, besides walking try drinking something warm and then walk around. It worked really well for me. I have made it a point to walk 1 mile everyday and I really think that's why I'm feeling so good. I walk slow but I always feel good when I get back and am sleeping better too. And ya gotta love the hospital weight gain, it will come off pretty quick once you're up and about again. Yay for us! We're on our way! Keep in touch and let me know how you're doing--Corey

      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!!
