Oh poo. I guess I'll wait and see what they have for me at my first post op visit on Monday. I also have a seminar or something with their nutrition afterward. Then I'll have to start all these Vitamins. Or do they suggest waiting until phase two. I think the original nutritionist did. Can't recall. Doc said to wait until after this visit though. I take Biotin chewable a everyday anyway just bc I'm dreading the upcoming Hair loss.< /p>

I had it so bad I couldn't sleep at night. Dr said to try PPI's at night, and if that didn't work go to 2 a day for a couple days. then taper off. I finally slept last night... Thanks to Prilosec.

IF all else fails Gaviscon..

but beware of TUMS

Tell your doctor especially if you are not on heartburn meds. Because the acid can erode your stomach.

I had the sleeve on July 24th. Came home today on Clear Liquids for 3 more days then I add my Protein Drinks into diet till I see my doctor on aug 4 to discuss purée foods. Weighed myself prior to leaving hosp and was up 2 pounds from Thursday morning. Nurse agreed that intend all the fluids I received during my stay and gas. Lol. I also had hiatal hernia repair done and I gotta day I think that hurts more than the other right now. Feel every sip of everything going down. Including meds (liquids).

I was sleeved on July 7 2014. No complications but I was naive about the recovery time. I'm 61 and thought I would bunch back more quickly. I am up and doing housework and shopping etc. I am however, so thirsty. The sipping doesn't do it for me. I have eaten a bite or two over my full limit and suffer with that incredible chest pain. Anyone else with minor struggles?

I'm worried I can eat too much. For lunch today I had a boiled egg and a cheese stick. I did feel full afterward and my stomach did spasm some when I ate but it spasms with Water, too... How much can everyone eat at one meal?

I'm not eating solids yet but I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and I can drink a fair amount of liquids at once which makes me worry too!!

      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!!
