I've lost 5.5 lb since surgery.(14.5 lb on the 2 week liquid diet) As long as the scale keeps going down, not up, I'll be happy!

Ok ladies and gents .. Issue here.... Im having some tachycardia (fast racing heart beats) I'm not sure if it's anxiety or some real heart racing .. I called the doctor and he says if it continues to come into the ER.. Is this normal???

Surgery tomorrow, I haven't done liquid diet at all.

Well hello fellow sleevers. Hope you all are blessed and well. My current status is that I am doing better each day, but I need to get back to work Monday. My biggest issue is this dent in my side. I feel that if it were not for that I would be so much better. Doc says it will expand or pop in about 2 weeks. Said it will feel like someone stuck a knife in me, that's scary. Still walking bent over, still having hard time getting up from sitting or laying down. Can anyone give me more insight to the "POP" and tell me how your doing so I can make sure I'm at the right stage for this heeling process.

@@Mrs. Vee I find that if I hold in my stomach, it feels better. Yesterday I was wearing compression yoga pants and could barely feel a thing.

Ok. Strange request. But for those that are vomiting: what does it look like? Mine is sort of dark with flecks. I think it's old blood.

Ok, I will try that. I have big boobs and tried to put a bra on last night, it helped but then I started feeling constricted and had to take it off.

      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!!
