Geez. You don't weigh that much. But good luck with your surgery. It feels so final once you get that date.

I feel pretty good. I thought it would be much worse after reading some of the forums. My stomach is 20 - 30 ml. I Am able to sip Water and broth with no problem. I have sipped a little of the Protein drink but not much. I don't have much gas pains in my chest. I had a little the first day but not anymore. I'm passing gas and urine frequently but no BM yet. What is your surgery date? I still can't believe I finally got it done!

My date is march 11 and I have been worried to death ... but thats me im a worrier always. I have been getting heavier ever since the birth of my first child who is an adult now. Have try lots of diets to lose maybe 20 lbs to only turn around and regain that plus. As a teen I was thin as a rail and now to take a shower walk a few steps do almost anything I am so miserable. My husband is very worried about me and would rather I not go this route but I feel that I have to or I will end up with every obesity related disease that my family has had and I dont want that. Im still young enough to be enjoying life and now I am not because I dont feel like it. Thanks for telling me how you are doing it helps me feel better about this. Sounds like you are doing great .. keep me posted

Penny, I was so scared I wanted to back out. But honestly, it really wasn't that bad. The worst part was the gas. And walking helped that. I really felt stupid after I freaked out so much. You will do fine.

That makes me feel better to hear. Im just scared is all. I have friends that I haven't even told because they have the attitude just push yourself away from the table. Or that this is the easy way out. And thats surely far from true..

Its that painful gas. I hate it. That's one thing in not looking forward too. In not worried about the pain, if i can survive shoulder surgery i can deal with anything. Of all my surgeries that one was the most painful.

I'm doing fairly well. I had terrible insomnia last night. My pain is managed with Tylenol now. I have lost 8 pounds since Wednesday . I'm eating as much Protein and drinking about 30 oz of Water as I can. It's so weird that a 2oz medicine cup makes me full!

Are you mixing the Protein with the Water when you drink it.?

      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!!
