Try doing nothing but shakes for a month. :( I have six more days to go. My husband accused me of watching porn... I was watching the food network last night with my eyes glazed over. Lol

If I can make it thru the next six days that will be 30 days on liquids. I cam do anything!

While on liquid diet did you experience muscle spasms?

Did my 7 day liquid diet and at 8:30 am I will be heading into surgery. This whole journey so far hasnt been an easy one, not as hard as I imagined tho. Im ready to step into my life. A healthy life, an active life. A life that feels like its my own. While Im as nervous as can be I'm also so excited for whats to come.

I understand the nerves. I am 5 days away and my nerves hit at about 10 data. I've wanted this for so long. I can't even pinpoint what I'm nervous about.

I'm now about 15 hours post op and doing well. I've been up and walked twice. First time just to nurses station (about 12 feet) then second time all the way to end of hall. I felt like I was going to vomit when I got to each "goal" point which is how I gaged when to stop and head back. Luckily no vomiting. Tomorrow I get to drink!!! Yay bc my throat feels like the Sahara. LOL.

I give all the honor and glory to God for my success today through surgery, starting recovery and having EXCELLENT doctors and nurses placed in my path!!

Congrats on joining the loser bench!!! I start drinking in like a half hour. Ugh I can't wait. My mouth feels like I'm sucking on a cotton ball. And I'm so hoarse from the intubation. Yuck!!

      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!!
