I think tuna is just heavy on the pouch. But it keeps me fuller longer.

I'm not doing great with cold liquids. I can do My puréed food fine but the shakes and cold Water gurgles all the way down, and I'm just doing little sips slowly. It takes me two hours to get a cold Protein Shake down. What has been working for me is warm liquids. I have been mixing my chocolate Protein Powder in Decaf coffee under 140 degrees though or else it clumps. i have been drinking warm decaf green tea instead of water. For a while I was doing the Unjury chicken Soup Protein powder warm but then I realized it is full of sodium, like 750 per cup so I am trying not to do that as often. It's so weird I used to love to guzzle ice cold water but it just doesn't work for me now even sipping at a snails pace.

Ate it twice and that happened to me. :( Today I did chicken (in a can) salad, and it was so good. No problems with that.

Been a good day eating and drinking wise today, but I have a monster headache! It's one of those headaches where you can't open your eyes. I have been taking my liquid percocet and it hasn't helped.

That's why my doctor prescribe me some because he said he does not want to take the change that's why I said to call your doctor because your pouch is still healing

Yeah, my doctor gave me enough nausea meds to last for months! I used them a couple of times, since certain food smells were overwhelming when I first came home.

I haven't gone # 2 since my surgery on the 29th is that normal? Sorry for TMI!

It's weird, especially if you're used to going regularly. It took me 5days, and then it was in the evening. I felt so much better afterwards, but I never felt like I had to go. My nurses said it was normal, sometimes even 5-7 days for some people.

Officially on my first stall. I knew it would come, so I'm not bummed. I'll just wait it out.

      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!!
