I had six nerve blocks in my neck at once and it did not work. I hope you have good results. We did not cut my nerves because the may grow in clusters on my head.

HW 358 SW 344 CW 318 GOAL 200 surgery 4/11/13

I've had the nerves burned before, but they grow back I guess. I just want an end to this back pain. With losing weight, id like to be going for walks, or doing anything active for that matter. I can't even walk around the block. So you have back problems too?? I have had so many epidurals, and they don't even work anymore. He was gonna do an implant, but says it doesn't pay because with the condition of my back, ill need surgery soon.

I am having a tough time counting how much Water I'm drinking. Or Protein I'm taking in. shakes are the worst for me. Haven't found anything other than the whey Protein Drink from Walmart I started mixing it with water and sf Hawaiian punch to be able to get it down. Idk I hope I'm doing this right. My doc says I'm fine.

I use the MyFitnessPro app and it calcs all of my protein every day. I don't have to enter anything, there is a scanner on it and I just click and it uploads all the nutritional info automatically. It is awesome! It even shows how much exercise you do and the water you take in. Pretty cool!!

Yes i got screwed up back. I'm due for another epidural. Mine gets so dam tight its unbearable to walk at times. Just trying to prevent another surgery. I still be doing another round of physical therapy as soon as I'm released.

First bout of vomiting today. I ate a morningstar veggie burger, about half, and it came up 10 minutes later . I also had diarrhea earlier today, so maybe it is a stomach bug. Got no food in today, and vomitted Water as well. Not gonna hit Protein or water! ;(

The HydraCoach Intelligent water bottle is amazing. You program it and as you drink it counts your ounces and you set it to whatever ounce intake you need for the day. It's a bit pricey but I think it's well worth it!

That does sound like a bug! Get better soon and try to stay hydrated. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.

Hi Paul....how did you know if your stomach is not emptying fast enough? What symptoms are you having?

      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!!
