Yes - it wasn’t a good time. Stay on top of your pain meds, if you need more or they aren’t working call your DR. It’ll get better within a few days and much better in a couple weeks.

It will get better I promise!! I was sleeved on Valentine’s Day last week and I know everyone is different but this will give you hope. First 2 days were really tough for me. I had awful nausea and gas pains first 24 hours and threw up a lot. Which was pretty much dry heaving and that hurt my stomach even more. I could barely get out of bed and my husband had to pull my arms to help me change positions bc i was in so much pain and was scared to move. BUT!.....there is a silver lining! Every day I kept feeling better and better. I even went back to work yesterday (desk job) and if you had told me that last Thursday I would have thought there was no way in hell I would be back at work that soon. I have even only been taking my pain meds at night to help me sleep and am taking nothing during the day. The last 24 hours everything has finally started feeling more normal and I’m adjusting to the schedule and I think timing your Protein Shake and Water and Snacks is the key to feeling the most comfortable trying to get fluids and Protein down. YesterdAy I didn’t keep much of a schedule and it was so much harder than today. Today I set off reminders on my phone and it made everything feel so much better going down. I hope your pain gets better as quickly as mine did and you can start enjoying your new stomach and the scale dropping every morning. You can do this! A couple or three miserable days is worth a lifetime of a skinny New you and happiness!

Sent from my SM-T820 using BariatricPal mobile app

I can't get my Protein in due to my severe gas.

      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!!
