I've had so many food intolerances before I had this surgery. Milk was a huge one. Having milk now and OMG it's settling my gas pains. Wow. Just went for a walk as well. It's cold outside and I think I have phlegm on my chest so trying to stay up as much as possible.

GAS SUCKS - I was ready for heroin to stop the pain. Walking and moving made it better.... No joke walking is huge and really helps. Fluids drink slow and don't gulp...... Not to cold or sweet ----- it gets better I slept on my side last night with a pillow splint and slept like a baby

I'm new to using this site. Is there a way to "friend" people so we can follow each others progress?

Click on a person's name in a thread. It will bring you to their profile. On the right hand side it says "Add Me As Friend"

If you're going to cough place a pillow over your stomach and hold it.

      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!!
