Revision on 12/1! Very nervous!



Recommended Posts

Yes, that's what my nutritionist said as well. She said to try to get 3/day. I'm just curious how much u can really drink at a time. I eat my first meal in a few hours so I guess I'll see how I tolerate liquids.

Good luck on ur procedure! Ull do great!

Hi! I'm recovering so well! Thank God! Honestly I thought recovery would be horrible, but it really hasn't been! I finally got to eat my clear liquid diet last night and couldn't finish (I should say) didn't want to finish my 4 oz of broth.

Today I did eat my 2 oz broth, 2 oz Jello, 2 oz apple juice and 1 oz Protein packet. It took about an hour to eat but I feel good!

I hope ur surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

Glad you are doing good! I also felt like my Sleeve was easier recovery than the band... maybe I just knew what to expect. When do you progress to full liquids? I remember that being such a relief... to have thin Soups and yogurt! The liquids get old fast.

Thank u! I went to full liquids on day 2! Although that was just 2 oz of Soup, 2 oz of Jello, and 2 oz juice at one meal. Lol. Each day I'm getting in more and more. Have to work on getting my Protein Shakes in. I hate sipping and then it gets warm. I go to purées on tues! So tuna and canned meats are ok...can't wait! Lol

I'm doing great--so sweet of you to check in! I'm a public speaker and had a big event in NYC this weekend so that kept me busy. I was feeling pretty apprehensive on Friday and have scheduled an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow once I've flown into Kansas City. Since I had lap and erosion and ended up in Intensive Care I think I'm a bit more fearful than I would normally be. I had a severe gastric bleed with the erosion and I never want to go through anything like that again. I'm sure after talking to Dr Hoehn tomorrow I will feel peaceful and ready to rock and roll on Tuesday.

      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!!
