It's going! Lol. I get random abdominal pains if I do too much and have to take a pain pill. But I'm finally eating some actual food that I can chew so that's exciting! Lol

Same here as far as the pain, but did start riding my bicycle. As for food still on puree, but see my nutritionist on the 18th which will be 30 days after surgery and was told I would more than likely be able to eat what I miss the most. Can't wait!

the transition from purée to soft food was so great. You actually get to test your sleeve and see what works and what doesn't. I've found that dairy and I now have a rocky relationship which I hear is normal. The first bite of a meatball was awesome. But I can hardly eat one which is such a new experience! What do you miss the most?

Can't wait to basically try everything, LOL but the first thing I will probably have will be lentils and turkey albondigas.

Still on purée , pain was starting to go away (which made me happy) then randomly came back still trying to figure out if pain is surgery related or bowel related (near hernia) ...just walking around the house is a chore... I’m hungry all the time and when I eat my purée it seems to get stuck and hurts.. I know it is all temporary but as of today I’m a bit bummed
Sorry if it seems gloomy .. I’m just struggling as my 4 year old needs his mom and being almost 30 days out ... I feel bad/useless and really missing his super squeeze hugs!!!

Same was happening with the puree food getting stuck so I mixed in puree vegetables and this seemed to help. I am getting the itch to eat more; and more often, but the worst I have done is have an extra yogurt. Pain has almost completely subsided so happy about that. Hang in there and before you know it you will be able to receive and give those awesome hugs!

Update: just got back from hospital, appears the new pain Im having is possibly from a pulled muscle on my left side!!! I hope they are right and that it gets better soon. Stairs , sitting , getting up, reaching causes sharp pain below all my incisions.

Yes, hopefully that is the cause and you should start to feel better. All in good time and I know it has been tough, but just keep reminding yourself why you decided to do this. We all have our personal reasons to have made such a huge decision and actually gone through with it. Now we are living the dream!

      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!!
