Well. I made it. Yesterday was rough! I was so tired I couldn't walk at all. Threw up once when I took too much liquid pain medicine. I'm feeling better today. I'm sitting up more and will start walking in a little while. Still haven't had anything to drink since around 4pm Sunday.

Good Morning Dr Borland patients .... how's everyone doing? I'm losing slowly but getting close to goal, although not sure what that goal is. Just taking it a day at a time. Losing about 1 pound a week (at the most). Family telling me to stop now but my BMI is still a couple points shy of "Normal Weight". Would like to drop below and then start lifting weights. Merry Christmas everyone!

Moose, I lost exactly 17lbs in 1 week too. In four weeks I'm down 34lbs! When I was 1 week out I was drinking Water, Powerade zero, Jello, Popsicles, chicken broth, gumbo juice. In this stage it seems like you can get more down than the size of your stomach. Then i started pureeing egg salad, or gumbo with a little meat. The thing I tried to do, and still do is to remember what the size of your stomach looks like. Look up a bogie if your not sure. Once you start progressing to thicker foods this will be more important. My daily meal plan is now a small or medium smoothie king shake gladiator, no carbs, with Peanut Butter in the morning. Water the rest of the day. For supper I never eat more than 6 to 8 bites. I had 4 grilled shrimp the other night. Last night I had refried Beans. I do not eat carbs at all except Beans. For a while I had head hunger, but now I have to make myself eat. I will not eat carbs! I am losing any where from 3/4 lb to 1.5lb per day.

This is exactly what I need to read appreciate it so much..I'm worried about the amount of water I can drink at one time without discomfort. But I will be mindful of it now.

I've been doing awful with Water. The first 5-6 sips make me a little queasy. After that I'm fine, but it's tough to get past and then just having a busy life I forget to pour a glass and before I know it, the day is over and I haven't had any! I do drink 2 Premier Protein shakes a day, so I do get Fluid but I've got to get better about the water!!

I forgot to mention Fairlife milk! I love milk and it's the only kind I drink now. It has less sugar and more Protein than other milk.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
