Thanks. I am post op day two. For the most part the nausea has subsided. Not much pain to speak of. The rumbling gas started this morning. I got some much needed sleep last night. But I woke up with heartburn this morning and that was the one thing I was most concerned with because it was terrible with the band. I am taking nexium. I am hoping this works and it may be because I am only on liquids. I hope I can get more liquids in today. Yesterday I did terrible. I may have been lucky if I got in 6oz. I guess its because all the swelling. Hoping for a better day today. I ran low grade fever last night but I know thats expected with surgery. How are you coming along?

Yesterday was rough with rumbling. I took magnesium citrate and BOY did that help. I had really bad acid reflux and took the antacid the doc prescribed. Woke up this morning and feel fabulous! I am not having trouble sipping but I am not even trying to deviate from the diet plan. I don't want to test any limits after being so miserable with the band and going to the sleeve

Had mine May 26th Baylor Plano TX. First 2 days were hard, mostly just the gas. Today, 4 days post op, or 5 days if u count operation day, and I feel normal again. So much energy. It is a full time job getting down fluids and Protein. Haven't weighed yet, thought I'd save that for first post op appt at dr office. They sent me home with a drain, that has been the biggest pain. Good luck!

      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!!
