I was very nervous. How are you doing? I am still pretty sore I think I over did it today. Rest and pain medicine will be my friend tonight.

It takes a bit to get used to. You have to increase your Protein and Water over the weeks. You won't reach the limits so soon. Follow your nutritionist guidelines as to what foods you can eat. Look at (theworldaccordingtoeggface) website fore food ideas. Hope this helps. I did two Protein shakes a day for a long time to get my protein in. Now I do one a day.

How did your surgery go? I found the first few weeks very challenging figuring out how to get all the Water and Protein while feeling so full. I hope you have good news to report.

It went very well. The surgeon and the hospital were top notch. Surgery itself was smooth sailing. Recovery... at one week out now pain is pretty much gone, eleven more pounds are gone, and diabetes is gone! An awesome bonus. The program at PRH is really phenomenal... Getting Protein is is really easy, I found that using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and mixing it with skim milk, makes an 8 oz shake that has 29 g of protein... 2 of those and the requirement is about met. I'll also usually have a nectar lemon tea... 23 more grams protein, and replaces a plain Water.< /p>

That is great! Congrats on the diabetes. I developed lactose intolerance a few weeks out and haven't had milk since. I drink unsweetened almond milk, 30 calories in a cup. When do you get to start soft foods? Get ready to start the roller coaster as the next six months will be amazing! I had my surgery in Dec. and people don't recognize me now, diabetes is gone also. Congrats!

Thanks! I see the NUT on Friday and will hopefully progress to the next stage from there. I certainly feel ready! I do like my shakes though. I have been having shakes for Breakfast for almost a year now, I will likely keep that up. I often make them with Almond milk! Good stuff!

      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!!
