I go in at 8:30 in the morning! It's finally time.

I've worked so hard for this. All of the people on here give great insight as to what to expect. I'm ready.

Hey, how are you doing! I am so sorry I am having a hard time learning how to reply and respond back on this sight. I'll get it soon I guess.

Not sure how it's works for you, but when using the app on my phone and I want to reply to someone's post, I hit their post to highlight it, then I hit the message icon at the top. It'll provide the person's quote/post, then I text my post.

If I just want to reply to the entire post, I just hit the quick reply at the bottom.

Hope that helps. I don't normally use my computer to post, so I'm not so sure how that part works.

Thank you... Right after I posted that message, I took the cover off my iPad and saw the reply bar that was hidden under the iPad cover. So I think I am good. God bless.

I'm doing great. Home the day after surgery. No pain after the 4th day. By day 5 I was able to get my Protein quota. Water was easy and I've been able to fulfill my quota most days.

It's been a great experience so far.

Today is day 22. Only issues are the fact that I'm so tired I can't do much more than take a shower.

And I haven't lost a single pound since day 7......

Aaaarrrrrgghhh.

But I'm patient.

      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!!
