Had my postop yesterday. So happy to get those staples removed. Down 18lbs since preop. 11lbs since surgery (1.5.15). Moving on to the next stage of food. Yay for pureed (mash potatoes, Soup, anything blenderized, soft eggs, soft fish).

Had surgery January 14, everyday I feel better than the day before. Today I will try to meet my Protein goal of 80gr, I sip Water all day but it takes a day to drink a 20oz bottle. I have to take Prilosec for 3mo, It really helps with the loud gurgling in my belly????

Jan 14th VSG. 1 night at hosp,1 night at a friends, and last night at home.

My routine is: sleep 4 hrs, take pain pills (dilaudid), drink some Protein Shake, and then back to sleep.

I have a compression band around my tummy that helps a lot. Taking GasX strips now and then for gas.

I've found using the medicine cup for sips hurts way less than taking a sip on my own. I've started breathing out before I take a sip. I think I was actually taking in air with every sip. I would sort of suck the Water in.

Im sitting here still in awe that I can drink my water/powerade zero and Protein Shakes with no problem. I'm so so thankful to not have any complications. I didn't have any problems with the three Big gulps I had to take for the leak test either. I still kinda can't even believe that I've had it done. Anyway, hope everyone is doing great! Veronica, I'd say you're full of iv fluids? Ya think?

@@downsizingdiva Mmm I don't think so since Ive been off of iv since tuesday. I just think that it is the natural process of slowing down. I'm ok with this at the moment just hopes it starts up again next week otherwise I will go to the doctor.

Is anyone else feeling a lot of pain when getting up or sitting down?

I am in HORRIBLE pain when I get up out of a chair or when I sit down! Once I'm in position I'm fine but the transition is excruciating! I'm hoping this is normal although I don't how much longer I can tolerate it!!!

Congrats where did you get liquid Tylenol?

My dr prescribed me liquid tylenol. Thank goodness I haven't needed it yet because getting my daily liquids is enough intake for now.

Yep! That's the only time it hurts pretty bad. But when I finally get straightened up and out the door to walk my driveway, I feel so much better so I'm trying not to sit very long at one time. I got all my Water and almost all my Protein in, and all my Vitamins except for Iron because it says it may cause upset stomach and I'm scared to death of that. HOW ARE YOU?

      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!!
