I'm doing really well thanks! I have been blessed to not really have many problems. The only ongoing issue I have is severe sciatic pain and I'm guessing they is from positioning in surgery and lack of ability to lay on my sides to sleep due to incisional discomfort. Sigh! All else is right in my world. Started purées Tuesday and all is well but need to purée some meat (which sounds terrible lol) but need the Protein. Struggling to get my Water intake up but I am honestly a happy camper so far!! Thanks for asking.

How are you??

Freelyme- I think I'm doing great considering I'm only 3 days post-op. Lots of noises coming from my tummy though! Feels like gas, and I'm hoping it clears up soon! ;) I'm not sure how I feel about pureed meat, but we do what we have to do! Have you tried "Isopure" zero carb ready made? It's more like Gatorade, and is pretty good. I found it online, but my NUT says some HyVee stores carry it.

Freelyme - oops, you may not know what HyVee even is! It's a grocery store in my area. Where are you located? :)

The noises get better but haven't noticed them gone yet but I'm only 4 days ahead of you, maybe we'll both be pleased! Glad you are doing well. Baby food meat is terrible. My NUT told me to make my own. Even suggested grabbing ready made rotisserie chicken and using that. I had canned tonight as I couldn't get out to the store. As for the Isopure, I have it but it all tastes GROSS to me, all I taste is the whey Protein not the flavors. I am in Dallas Texas but have GNC that we can get them at (vitamin store). Keep up the good work!!!

Amylynns - not trying to get too personal here, but how have your bowel habits been? I'm dealing with diarrhea that hits me with very little warning (unfortunately). :( I'm hoping that by the time I'm able to introduce more solids, that will get better. Also, do you feel like you're able to drink your liquids more normally now vs constant small sips?

@@freelyme - lol, when I first started drinking Isop pre-op, I hated it. I think it's definitely an acquired taste! ;)

      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!!
