Ok I need some help, I'm 16 days post op incisions and healed, walking everyday,off liquids as of Friday ,cleared to do arm&leg workouts,I drink 60-90 OSS of Protein, and 5 23 oz of Water, plus Popsicles,cottage cheese and stuff,so I'm doing everything I'm suppose to do, but for the last two days the pain of my left side returns every now and again.it started after Thursday, after I finished my walk felt like something inside had dropped and hanging,no very little pain on Friday when I finished walking.but yesterday evening the pain was so intense ,but not constant .if I took a step it hurt if I moved a certain way pain ,it's seemed really deep inside,nothing like the pain from the surgery.im having regular BM, does anyone have a clue to what this pain MIGHT be,? I'm open to all suggestions .... Oh right now no pain soooooo strange ;(

Sounds like something worth asking your doctor about, even though it sounds like a non-emergency. They would be able to tell you if it's something to be concerned about or if there were other signs of possible problems to look for. You're not that far out and that is what they are there for.

Aside from that it sounds like you are doing awesome! I'm having trouble getting all my fluids... and Protein? I'm not even close on that! The taste of the powder, or even the THOUGHT of the powder, is grossing me out. I'm finding food smells pretty unappealing right now, too. How are you getting all your Protein?

The closest costco is in Stoughton MA. I'm bored this week, maybe I'll take a drive up there. What kind of place is it? :-)

costco? It's a giant warehouse with everything you can imagine in it but in bulk,electronics,food,clothing,wine,beer,fresh seafood,pastry dept. ,gas station,tires dept, gearing, eyeglasses,furniture,plants,pharmacy,pet supplies outdoor patio stuff,also a ice parlor and restaurant . All costco are not created equal I've been to several in different states,but the ones in the Pacfic Northwest where the headquarter is located is the creme' de la creme' . Here where I live in texas is pretty grand too. Just be prepared to spend more than you thought lol

      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!!
