They have been giving me liquid Tylenol and toporal for pain round the clock...so then I shouldn't have Constipation from meds...walked around the floor 4 times yesterday...IMG_7270.JPG

Also, I've been walking, had bad gas pains, morphein made me spit dry heave, only 2 times and I switched to Percacet. Belly sore but bearable, tons of weird sounds when I drink anything. Burping and headaches.

I am having it right now. Last night I thought it was behind me, got in a cool delute Protein Shake in a half hour, no pain. Even had 1/3 cup of Malto meal an hour later. Woke up took a few sips of Gatorade zero....boom the tummy thing u explained, feels like a real quick spasm or twinge. Trapped gas?

I was sleeved on the 7th and had a massive hernia repaired too. I was so nauseous day one in the hospital that I could barely walk. I'm now 6 days out and off my percoset (crushing it and trying to get it down was soooo horrible), and just trying to get my liquids in. The main reason I went off the pain meds is bc they would zonk me out and I'd sleep for hours instead of being awake and sipping fluids all day. I had a nonfat Greek yogurt yesterday with granulated Monk Fruit sweeter and that went down well. I too feel some pressure from liquids and then get odd sounds. I think a lot of us have trapped gas too. I've had some relief with gas x dissolvable strips.

I actually tolerated a muscle milk 40g Protein shake...but that pain still comes...it feels like a contraction I have to breathe it out to go away...it took an hour to drink the shake

      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!!
