Hi@Diana Prince! I'm feeling great! Doing liquids (clear week 1 postop, full week 2 postop) was a little hard, and I did cheat a little-at a family reunion meeting ate the ham lunchmeat & cheese from inside a hoagie quarter-but didn't have any problems, so I figured no harm-no foul. Went back to work 3/20 on purees, now on soft/reg foods. Only problem at work I've encountered is if I eat too fast, I get palpitations and feel nauseous. Not a feeling I like, so I've been trying to pay attention to my timing. I'm at 183.4lbs now....feeling wonderful! Can't wait for 4/19.....my next dr appointment-looking to get approval to begin working out at the gym (right now, I walk, walk, walk.....I'm a phlebotomist at a children's hospital, so it's been pretty easy to walk between 7750 and 9000 steps daily)


That is awesome !!!! I'm so happy for you!

Not going to lie-AND I KNOW THE LOGICAL REASONS AGAINST IT-had a VERY SMALL amount of soda without any negative effects! Now maybe the reason I didn't have any problems was the way I had it.....I was down to the last of my Crystal Light jug (about 24oz was left); was too lazy too make more, so I added a little orange and ginger ale soda to equal 32oz.......no problems going down, no problems with regurgitating liquids. Now I didn't try to drink 32oz in one sitting-took the better part of the day to complete the jug......but it was good to know that I could ingest soda IF PUSH CAME TO SHOVE

      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!!
