Hi I'm new here, just got my I.V taken out going home soon. Still in pain and worried about liquid intake . I hear 1 ounce every 15 min is good? Any suggestions. Thanks

Hello and congratulations Anna, where did you get your surgery done? Did they not tell you how much Fluid to take in and how often?

Sorry I was having a rough day yesterday. I was rude myself. I got it done in Brooklyn N.Y. Methodist hospital. Good luck on yours.. Today is my 3rd day feeling about 50% better. I'm doing about 4 ounces every 15 min. Stomach pain is dull. Just weak and headaches. Thanks

Yep I walked 3 miles today mind you it was very very slowly LOL I had to sit down a few times and my husband is a great supporter and a helper. I have had some light cramping over the last two days but nothing too terrible. I have not been nauseous at all but I have a pretty tough stomach I don't get nauseous easy. Not sure if having a sensitive or a tough stomach before surgery makes it better or worse.. there was a lady that had her surgery the same day as me but she had a sleeve and she was struggling with nausea bad. I felt so sorry for her but she was up and walking. Message me anytime if u have questions. Where are you having your surgery done?

I was able to eat Greek yogurt today!! Wooohoooo!! Was so good And I put in another 4 miles or so today. Had some sharp belly pains but I think it was gas , for the most part I feel pretty good. I was a little disappointed when I stepped on the scale and it said I was 3 pounds heavier. :( talk to the doctor today he said it was normal to gain weight after surgery it was probably just Water because I haven't eaten hardly anything. Or I should say I haven't had many calories I haven't really eaten anything at all besides Greek yogurt just today. :)

      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!!
