I'm on my way to the ER now. The doctor sent me. No nausea or vomiting though and with a stricture there would be.

Was talking to the patient care tech here in the ER who had the surgery 10 months ago and she said it could be a problem with me being able to drink thin liquids

@@layknee hope they figure out soon. Water is not my friend post surgery, cramps and liquid burps immediately, though Powerade zero is ok so far.

Same as Smiley. Gatorade 2 works really well for me.

What are your favorite flavors of Powerade zero? I am making an epic shopping trip tomorrow. I feel like I live in Alaska and I am making my yearly pilgrimage to Anchorage from chicken (a real place named chicken, wow). Last time there were so many colors of "Gatorade" and so on, I was overwhelmed and in a hurry, I gave up.

Hey all, weighed in at 168, haven't seen that in 15 years. With my short height and lower bmi at surgery time, it did not take long, long ways to go.

Also, had to get a treat for some guys who repaired my bumper while I was not driving. Went to a gourmet cupcake shop. Amazed that I could not even smell the buttery sweetness u know was there. No desire at all, and I love cupcakes.

Last amazed at no headhunger, and really no appetite. Hope everyone else is the same.

I like the blue, orange and strawberry. The red fruit punch tends to be too strong and the lemon lime reminds be of the bowel prep at this point

      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!!
