I was sleeved 7/6 and I am getting very bored. i weighed 253 on surgery day and 260 when i got home. I am 247 today. i have this pain on my right where they did the surgery not the incision. I am having a hard time getting in the 60/60/60 but I am trying my best. I will be glad when all the pain is gone.

Hi lilbigprsn.I am also very bored.Thinking of maybe trying to go to Wal-Mart today just to get out of the house.My starting weight is my highest weight before surgery.I weighed 251 day of surgery and 252 when I went home.Today I weigh 244.I was a little uncomfortable pain wise yesterday but feel really good today.I just cant wait to be a month out and be pretty much recovered and back to solid foods.Solid foods do scare me at the same time though thinking it wont be as easy to loose weight once solid food starts.I hope you are feeling better soon.

I have really struggled a lot with pain, and I was not expecting that! I cannot eat or drink anything and today I woke up feeling very dazed and confused I know this is because I haven't gotten any Protein in!! I'm so regretting this every day. I'm sure this will change but ughhhh!


What is 60/60/60?

Fortner22 stay strong. I have had 2 cesareans and a tubal before. 40 yrs old. I think we all handle pain differently. I forced myself to get up and move around the day of surgery. it really helps. I gauged myself with the small 30 cc/1oz cups they gave me in the hospital on my Water and Protein intake. If you are not getting anything in you will be nauseated. They gave me meds for that but i never needed to use them. I have been eating Jello and broth as well. Also I have a lemon and ginger non caffeinated tea. Try something warm. The tea is by Bigelow.

Jamiebatke. I agree a walk around Walmart would be great. This liquid diet is also boring and I am excited about the puree stage just so I can have more than I have now. I am all about healing right now though and scared to even think of actually eating. I do not want any problems. I am ready to heal and workout. I am so determine to be successful with this. I wish you the best as well

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
