I am sure you will get good news. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for my 2wk post-op. By my scale I have lost 14lbs. It is a wonderful feeling:)

What are you doing for the itching? I'm scared to put anything near my incisions.

Hang in there. I had a rough start they had to go back in after I had some internal bleeding and my hemoglobin is still recovering. I did struggle the first couple days too. I found small sips throughout day helped. chicken broth went down well -did u try that?

My doctor told me "nothing" is to go on my incisions and to just scrub with soap in shower! Outside the shower it drives me crazy but each day is getting better!

As far as the liquids I wasn't able to get much down but I was able to get more down each day just make sure you are getting your Protein intake!

I went for my first post op visit today and he told me same thing. Actually told me to go to soft foods

I am on my 7th day post op and have been recovering so well. I am supposed to be on a full liquid diet until Sunday morning but I am dying for puréed foods. This creamy Soup stuff was great for a day or two but now I just want chicken and tuna and things like that.

      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!!
