I've got a killer headache and since my family is pigging out on thin crust pizza (my fav!) I'm going to go take a bubble bath! Ha!

I am getting nervous. I need to stay off Google...lol

How did you make out Imready2015?

My surgery took a little longer than expected and I lost some blood bc my spline was attached to my stomach and they had to detach it first. A little sore today especially where they removed the drain line near the spline. I'm tolerating Clear liquids really well, gas pain not bad at all. Feeling much better than I expected!!

I am doing ok...I am sore for sure. Bloated from the gas and that was pretty painful. The had to hold off my diet because I had not had my leak test until this morning. Waiting for my tray now :)

How is everyone doing? I slept in the recliner my first night home then tried the bed last night. Came down to t h e recliner about 4am. I have not taken any pain meds yet today cuz I don't want to be sleepy and groggy on Christmas Eve. I'll probably take it before bed tonight. Tolerating liquids just fine. Just can't get that Protein in. I ended up buying New Whey shots that have 42g of protein and i can hold my nose and choke it down. But I will only be able to do that once a day. Otherwise healing well. Took a shower this morning which felt so good!

Feeling very lucky to tolerate liquids just fine. Still a little short of my Protein goal but def getting in all of my liquids! I'm either reclined in the bed or what my husband calls "wandering" around the house. Went for a nice long stroll today with my 2 kiddos! Felt great but once I got home it was like any energy I had was just gone! I rehydrated and needed a nap. No real pain. Just some soreness which gets better by the hour! Still in a bit of shock that it's over with and that I did it! Hope you have a great Christmas...it's a new beginning for sure!

I feel the same way. Tolerating liquids very well. Just sounds like I have aliens living in my belly. Very noisy and kinda comical. Having a real problem with Protein because all of the clear protein is disgusting. Can't wait until I can have Protein Shakes again. 2 more days!

      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!!
