Really well! I'm barely hungry. A bit on the sleeping side, but that's normal for me at this time of the day.

I've consumed over 90oz of Fluid already! (not all water) That's with de-caf coffee, juice, Protein shake, broth, V-8 and Water.

Peeing like crazy!!

I have a Dr. appt. this afternoon (did something to my stupid elbow...it's been bugging me for weeks, but getting worse. Such a pain!) Then there's a support group meeting at my surgeon's office tonight at 6 that I want to go to. My only problem is that I won't be able to have my "dinner" until after 7:30. I made an extra Protein shake to take along though, so hopefully will do ok until then.

Oh I forgot; Beni, I'm getting RNY bypass plus fixing a large hiatal hernia. I'm wondering if the fluids will be any harder to get down because of the HH area being sore? I know if I get nauseous and throw up it will probably hurt from pulling stitches there. When I was pregnant, I spent the first 4 months each time getting sick all day, so I'm prone to that esp when I get dizzy. (I had to wear sea bands just to get into a standing position.) I sure hope I don't fall into that trap again of getting dehydrated. Ice chips and Popsicles did help tho.

Awesome pic superbariatric! So excited for you today. I met with the surgeon one last time before tomorrow!

Sunshine! Excited to have a same day buddy. I look forward to checking on you tomorrow.

Sherrib- I'm so sorry you still aren't feeling well. Don't stress and get some rest. You'll be there soon.

Hi Tacycakes, I too was super nauseated in my first trimester of pregnancy. It was so bad I refused to have any more babies (did end up with 3 kids but 5 pregnancies). I am sure the hernia will add a little something but lots of people have them done at the same time as RNY. It will be fine in the end.

Okay everyone,

OCT 7th is a mad rush. There are a ton of gladiators going through tomorrow. I apologize in advance if I forget someone. It's getting harder for my little brain to keep track.

Best of luck to:

      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!!
