Yea I got a canker sore also on the inside of my upper lip and figured it was from the tubes. I started puréed foods Sunday and let me tell you...it was the best ever lol. So glad to be off Clear Liquids. Now I'm looking forward to soft foods.

Hey there! I was admitted back to the hospital. The Friday after my surgery on the 2nd, I came down with a really bad cold that turned into feverish chills on Friday. They have continued until last now. My husband drove me to the ER yesterday. My white blood cell count is very high and I'm showing signs of and infection somewhere. they'll be doing a endoscopy or something along those lines tomorrow morning. They're thinking maybe there was a small leak that healed itself but that has left fluids in my abdomen. I should know more today. I'm not worried, but I'm freaking out for my kids and my mom! My parents leave for South Africa on Saturday. I will keep you in the loop.

Good for you!!! That's awesome!!

I was sleeved on Feb 11th and I'm down almost 60 lbs and I'm down to a size 14 (when I started in Feb I was a size 22). I've gotten off 4 medications and I can actually walk up and down stairs without my knees hurting or being out of breath. I get up early every morning to walk with my husband and our dog. What an amazing difference my life is now.

I just keep remembering what my doctor told me: If you don't change your habits and get more active, you won't lose the weight like you plan to.

I was sleeved on February 17, and I'm down 65 pounds from my highest weight. I'm off of two medications and I move around much more easily. So happy that I had surgery. I feel so much better.

I started at a very high weight, I'm off of all blood pressure Meds, soon to go off last diabetic Med., and all other Meds for nerve damage they have me on a third of the dose. I have been diligent about the Protein first and have eaten very little starch products. I m still working to get the Water intake up. When I do drink water it's usually electrolyte water because my potassium drops to low quickly. Other than that I'm way more active than I have been in a long time.

      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!!
