Home and in my own bed. Pain is pretty much minimal, almost gone. I can't imagine eating anything. Sipping is a little challenging because all I want to do is sleep! Walking and bending are easy though.

I don’t know how people do the several week liquid diet. I have a sleeve so don’t get too hungry but Tuesday and today are Clear Liquids only for surgery Thursday. I’ve cheated with chewing gum. Not eating feels weird even though I basically can’t eat! The mind is such a silly thing.

And thoughts to all those having surgery today. I am flying out to San Diego this afternoon for surgery tomorrow.

On the plus side, this morning my weight sans clothing was 329.6. That is the first time it has been below 330 in at least two years, maybe longer.

Regarding a clear liquid diet today, after 10 days of a full liquid diet, I am pretty much up for anything. Now if I can only get my 15-year-old to get her behind in motion.

Haha! I hope you were able to motivate her! Good luck today and with surgery!!

Thanks everybody, good morning. My surgery is in six hours. Yesterday's magnesium citrate had me in the ladies' room all last night, so I'm a little sleep deprived but I'll be fine. My tummy keeps rumbling. It hasn't had proper food in days so it's angry at me, but I don't feel hungry for some reason. Very thirsty! I am required to drink two bottles of preanesthetic fizzy beverage a couple hours from now so maybe that'll help. Mostly looking at before and after photos of other GB patients online and wondering what sport I get to get into after I heal.

I am really excited I get to exercise with less or no more pain soon. That's what is keeping me going. Excited for everybody undergoing their procedures today too!

I am April 1 also. They discharged me much sooner than I expected. I was told 3 days, only had 1 overnite. I got very nauseous from the OR meds. That is done with Thank God. Now i do not have pain, just uncomfortable and forcing myself to drink drink drink.

How are u doing?

From the earlier today. Feeling better. It was tough there for a couple hours but finally the pain is more manageable and I’m able to get some decent sleep.

Killerqueen86, I know how you feel. I am on my second week of shakes diet and the fear is intense! I keep trying to stay positive. I know it’s the right choice.

      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!!
