Hi my date is the 29th for surgery. Kinda nervous same time just want it done n over with... Reasons why im doing it is that i have chronic back pain that 4 of my doctors have told me that the surgery will improve the pain.. Not to mention the polyneuropathy i have and the crazy pain that is caused by it. That has been my downfall with weight gain i hurt to much to move... So im crossing fingers that my 310 weight will drop along with pain levels.

Huggs to everyone that already went and those that are prepping!!

I am 2.5 weeks postop and had been struggling with energy since returning to work this week. It was suggested that I try walking. Well I'm proud to say that yesterday I walked 15 min and today I walked 20 min. It wasn't easy but I definitely felt good afterward. I'm going to keep working on this. Good luck to everyone!

Awesome pindoctor! I'm so glad to say the yesterday and today have been much more successful with intake at my 3 meals and Protein Shake. I ventured out with my husband and daughter today and had half an egg over medium and a small piece of sausage at Bob Evans. We went out to Applebee's for dinner and I order the chicken grillers from the kids menu (just have to tell them you had surgery) and I was able to get in about 3 ounces of the moist grilled chicken. It is possible to still participate in the real world occasionally, even at a few weeks post op!

Dragonfly78. Good going. I'v ebeen able to eat eggs although they are not tasting as good. I'm not sure I could stomach a piece of saugsage. I have managed a couple of eat out meals. One I had a cup of Tomato Soup and that was good. The other I had a bowl of chili. I had a few bites and took the rest home and packaged into 2 oz condiment cups for 5 additional meals.At this point cottage cheese seems to agree the best with my stomach.

I found making an egg over medium so the yolk breaks is so much more smooth and flavorful. The sausage surprised me going down as well as it did. I've had an issue with ground chicken as it's rubbery and an issue with reheated grilled chicken since it dried out a little. I got some nice moist turkey from Boston market today and some chicken Soup, very brothy and did really well. It's nice to find some good variations to have now.

I'll try the egg over medium. What diet are you on now? I am still on pureed foods for another 9 days. I am not allowed grilled chicken yet. The moist turkey from Boston Market sounds good. At nighttime I have been eating a couple slices of turkey lunchmeat (well chewed) and this has been good as well. Today for lunch I had Tomato Basil Bisque Soup and this was delicious but I could only consume a 1/3 of the bowl.

As of day #15, I was allowed regular textured Protein except red meat, which will be allowed at day 30. Here is a picture of my diet plan.

      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!!
