They are wonderful there. He was my doctor. I was sleeved on 01/06/14. You are doing the right thing. The walking helped me to much with all the gas.

I am less than 24 hours out of surgery. I am honestly walking around, drinking Gatorade, feeling fine. Dr. Ortiz is the best. My P is funny colors,but everything else seems normal. My leak test went fine, and I'm going to the Marriott tomorrow.

I can't believe how easy this actually was.

Hi...I am a newbie. Had my surgery on Jan7th in New Jersey. I honestly didnt think it was going to be so hard. I spent 2 days in, and got re admitted for 2 more days. I am starting to get sick of full liquids. I haven't had any food since Dec 23. Had to do 2 weeks of Protein Shakes. I have some soreness in my stomach. But everything goes down fine. Stomach makes gurgling noises. But I feel hungry...and when I do eat I feel so full. It like you can't win! Sometimes I worry I am not getting enough. This is all so confusing to me! Does anyone know a good Protein Shake. So far all the ones I have tried stink! Thank you.

I started my liquid diet on Thursday. It wasnt bad the first day. Kept myself busy today was horrid, I woke up with a bit of a Migraine. . My muscles were so sore from Lord knows what and I faced "head hunger" tonight. Thats wasnt pretty but I got through it. I had the tiniest taste of some tuna that I made for son but other than that I was good.

How many shakea do u do on your diet? I have to get 5 in amd finding it impossible. I can get 4, I will manage my time better tomorrow. With the 4 day weekend its hard to keep busy. I want to lounge on the couch but then that is where the head hunger comes in. I get bored lol

Good luck on yours!! U got this! I can have sf pudding and sf Jello, that saves me. :)

      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!!
