Hi everyone -

I'm from Rochester, too. I'm scheduled w. Dr. O'Malley on 12/17. I had my pre-op today. I guess it's really going to happen. To say I'm nervous would be an understatement. I'm not so worried about the surgery. I've had a few "open" surgeries, so laparscopic seems lke a walk in the park. I'm most worried about things like - what if I don't Ifeel well for the rest of my life, what if you have to vomit and your at work in a meeting, what if you get that horrible smelly gas and your at work in a meeting, or you dump while you're at work. I havent told anyone at work. Actually, Ive only told hubby and children and sister who is physians assistant. I'll probably tell my boss tomorrow. How about you guys? did you tell people? What did you find most challenging when you first got home from the hospital? What did you do to prepare? What didn't you do or have that you wish you did? I'm counting on you to help me prep :) Today I bought Protein powder from the Highland Hosp pharmacy and some Vitamins. These items are at least a few dollars cheaper there and the Protein Powder you can only get online so it saved on shipping too.

JPR - I hope that you are still feeling well and are up and around!

Hi Cindy,

I am two and a half weeks out and doing quite well I had Dr Johnson. I wish I had known that I was going to have drain in my side until I left the hospital not that it would have changed my mind but it wouldn't've been good.

I did tell my Co workers but work in a very understanding work environment. I am back to work already and I am quite tired by the end of the day but it is do able.

I found a Protein shake at Walmart that is 14 dollars for a big container they have a pennutbutter one that taste like Snickers. Helped me get through ths first two weeks. They were pretty rough only because you are afraid to drink to fast or to much. You don't feel all that different once you get out you can't feel your stomach smaller so that is weird. If you follow the diet they give you you will be fine. I had the runs for the first week and half the after that I was fine. I think that covers most your questions. Over all I would do it all over again I have lost 19 pounds in two weeks and am down two pains sizes. My energy level has gone up and I am looking forward what the future holds.

I feel great and will be discharged today. I could have left yesterday and I should have, but felt more comfortable just to have stayed the extra day.

Yeah it is hard to get all the clears in gets better after few weeks. Do you go on to puree? My favored puree meal is 1/4 cup puree chicken and 1/4 cup regatta warmed up with tad of butter buds and garlic yum. Anyway good luck with your next stage. How are you feeling ?

Not to sure about puréeing chicken. Looking at going tuna with hummus, cottage cheese, and some other things I'll talk over with my nutritionist.

      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!!
