Hey. Sorry I have been away from this. I'm on day 2 of post op and I'm doing well. No issues and moving along. I start full liquids tomorrow. Still a little gas here and there but other than that and lack of sleep I'm good. How about you?

Yeah same here. I'm still not sleeping that well but it's improving. Other than that everything is going well. Water and Protein Shakes are going down great. Gonna walk a bunch more today since the weather is nice.

Waynejr83 im having a tough time getting Water and Protein down,seems like my tastebuds hate them i tried sugar free Jello and pop sickles and they seemed way to sweet. Any pointers?

I wish I had some tips. I seem to be getting everything down just find. As long as the Water and shakes are cold. I mix Jello in between Almost have a whole shake in today. Have you tried different flavored waters?

I have been eating Jello and Popsicles I ran out of shakes and can't drive so hoping my friend can take me to get them tomorrow. I swore I had more but couldn't find them. My first dr appointment is Tuesday

Oh man. Sorry your having those issues. Hope it turns around. My only issue out of all this is I'm not sleeping well. It's frustrating! I did notice today without my shakes I found myself a little more hungry than usual. Getting more shakes tomorrow.

Waynejr83 how are you doing? Im struggling to get fluids in and am close to dehydration and no real luck on my Protein drinks they turn my gut.

Hey hope things are progressing! I started my purée stage today. So far so good. Taking everything in with no issues. I really hope things turn around for 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!!
