36 Hours Post Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Still a bit sore in my mid-section, but pain meds make it manageable. I've had nearly three full bottles of Water, some thinned Protein shake, and a bit of unsweetened apple sauce.

Also took one probiotic pill.

Hoping to get another solid night of sleep and to be a bit more human tomorrow (Sunday).

Took a very brief shower tonight. That was nice.

That's all for now...

Thanks. So far so good. I need to try to hit 40 grams of Protein tomorrow. I didn't have much yet, just a third of a glass or so.

What brand of unflavored Protein did you order?

I've been diluting Lean Body shakes with almond milk. Zero sugar. 40 grams per bottle but I'm not sure how much I've had with the dilution.

I do have done unflavored. Didn't think about adding that to my Water. Good idea.

Day 5: Feeling quite a bit better. Hit my Protein goals today for the first time. unjury chicken Soup to the rescue... SO much easier to get down than the diluted stuff I've been trying.

Yesterday, I was feeling a bit crappy and knowing I hadn't hit my numbers yet once... one serving of Unjury chicken Soup and I felt better within 20-30 minutes. Mircale!

Also hit the scale today... and was shocked. 421.8 down from 432.8 on Sunday... that's eleven pounds in four days. Nuts!

Day 7: Feeling almost 100% normal today... lots of energy... almost no soreness. No more pain meds. Doing quite well. Having ALL my Protein each day... and today I even snuck in (most of) a tall iced late from Starbucks. I was worried about how my stomach would do with the coffee... but it's been having coffee since I was 10... so it took it like a champ. Just sipped it slowly as I have everything else and all was well.

Weight loss continues... down 2.8 lbs from just yesterday... and counting. Really shocked that I'm losing so much right now, but thrilled as well.

Watch the Starbucks drinks. They have massive amounts of calories...

      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.

      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!!
