I'm day 10 post-op. Lately, I've been getting 60-80 grams a day ( 3 sessions of 20-29 gram drinks per day). But I focus those over pure Water (since they;re all liquids), so maybe I'm not getting enough pure water. I'm at least as hydrated as I was pre-op (which may not have been ideal either, I wager), but the last few days really opened up for me and I can drink more often for longer. I'm a little worried I've done something wrong because at a movie last night, I got down a 29g Premier Protein shake (11Oz, 29g) and most of a large glass of water (must have been 20 Oz), which seems like too much for 2 hours... but I wasn;t feeling full or in any discomfort. Worried I might be stretching the sleeve without knowing it though...

8am tomorrow. Ready for the next stage of the process!

I'm on day 4 of my pre-op diet, and I know for sure that the only reason I'm able to stick to it is I know its only for 2 weeks. I could never do this if I had to lose 100+ pounds this way; as we all have, I've lost plenty of weight on diets and gained it all back and more after they were done. I'm looking for something more permanent this time.

I'm not really broadcasting it, and for many, I am just saying that it's hiatal hernia repair (which it also is). For some, I will tell them that while they're in there, they're sleeving me too. I guess in the end, I'm not entirely sure why I'm not talking about it more. Some feels like to avoid uninvited opinions and comments, some because it's not really anyone's business but mine. My wife and kids know, and my sister-in-law (who's had a BPD-DS, very successful), and my partner at work knows, but I don't know whether or when I will tell any others.

October 2nd in Dallas with Dr. Nick for me.
