Funny thing is' date=' prior to surgery I never liked ice or anything too cold for that matter. I always went with room temp liquids. However, now ice has become one of my favorites. I am in love with the sugar free tropical flavored popsicle. Yum. Feel better!

Thank You! I'm feeling much better! I go on power walks and I'm doing just fine!

I have hit a stall! I think because TOM, but I don't care I'm still thankful for my current progress. I lost 13lbs in 12 days post opt and 26 total from my starting weight! Again I'm happy! Praise God!

OMG' date=' i just ate a grape!! I totally forgot for that 1 second. I'm still on the liquid diet for another week.[/quote']

I forgot I can't "gulp" Water and on Sunday while running errands I had forgot my handy candy cup that doesn't allow gulping so I got a bottle of Water at the gas station and took two giant drinks and the pain didn't hit until the second was on its way down. Needless to say I switched back to my cup after that.

Well, I'm more worried about not being able to eat the grape since I'm not supposed to eat any solids for another 4 weeks. I don't want to have eruption of the staples :/

I have them on and off. But when I eat mashed potatoes that seems to help. Hope that helps!

I had the runs 3x a day for the first 2wks. Then Constipation for 10day after being switched to stage 3. Now I am pretty regular.

I did the same thing last night. I was distracted while taking my reflux meds and took a big gulp of water. It hurt as it went down but only for a few seconds. Then there was a lump, like a marble, in my throat. It's just below my breast bone and I feel it mostly when swallowing. It doesn't hurt and I have no trouble swallowing liquids. It is very uncomfortable. I've tried gas-x, warm broth and walking. Nothing is helping. It's been 14 hours now. I'm getting a bit worried. I hope I didn't mess something up. I wonder if I should go to the ER or maybe call my Dr. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

      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!!
