Knock, Knock!!! Who's there? Me!!!

I'm back!!!! Everyone I have been so out of whack not being able to get on here and get motivation. As soon as I returned from a visit home (3 hrs) away, my job sent me out of town. This has been a stressful 5 days.

So how's everyone doing? I missed chatting with yall.

April 29th! Just started my 2 week pre op diet today.Using Bariatric Advantage banana Protein Powder. Not too bad-but it is day one. Getting nervous and excited as the date nears. Never had major surgery before but know I made the right decision!

Good luck everyone!

Home today. Surgery was Monday. Day two of Clear Liquids. Walked evening of surgery three rounds around ward. Tuesday walked 30 rounds in three stages of ten rounds. Wednesday, release day, walked a mile in neighborhood. Gas pains are pretty severe and burping a lot. Walking definitely is the key to recovery. Haven't been able to get down more than a few ounces of clear broth. One more day of clear liquids and then 11 days of puréed food. First check with surgeon May 6.

This is workable! Water retention is a problem. Came home 8 lbs heavier than when I went into the hospital.

Surgery in the morning. I did my Clear Liquids today, cleaned the house & wrote a 5000 word research paper for school. I am too tired to be nervous.

See you all on the other side!

      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!!
