That is fantastic!! I feel the milestones are going to be so special. I go for my post op on Thursday and can't wait. I feel great as well but I'm ready to get off this liquid diet. I know puréed foods aren't exciting, but I can't wait !!

Thanks Marycw1955! I have been cleared for puréed foods as of Tuesday! Good luck Thursday! Let knows know about your great success!

I have not had a full nights sleep since coming home. Today is one month post op. Not sure what's going on because I think the lack of sleep is giving me headaches. Ugh. Hopefully this will pass and we can get a restful nights sleep soon.

I had band to sleeve revision surgery last week on the 25th as well. Congratulations relentless302. I quit the liquid hydrocodone last Saturday. I've never liked pain meds. Instead I've been walking like the doctor suggested and I tried somethingon my own not sure if it'll work for you but its helped me tremendously. Ive been using a heating pad with moist heat on my tummy. It has done wonders for the soreness.....

Wow! That's awesome Sarah!! Were you a revision patient or just regular sleever?

Thanks tiffnichole76. I was a regular sleever. I am so glad I made the choice to do this. I feel so much better already. Can't wait until I'm down to my goal weight. I have 45 more pounds to go.

congrats on your surgery. liquids were not easy to get the amount they wanted for me either. Can't wait to get an update on how you are doing. The burning sensation will go away. Remember to go easy on the puréed foods. Start out very slow. That's the hardest part I've found is remembering that you have a lot smaller stomach now. I also learned that it will let you know when to stop. We are all here for you and each other.

June 4th sleever here! I'm down 23 pounds. Somehow that doesn't seem to be enough. I'm getting around 600 calories per day or less. Is this good enough??

      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!!
