MONDAY - How do you start your week off? Has the Sleeve changed things for you?

I'm still pre-op so I can't say Mondays are much different for me now. Although, it seems the closer I get to surgery, the more I think about the life changes I'm going to have to make to be successful.

Just tonight when I was on the phone with a friend, the topic of drinking Water came up. I have managed to cut down from 3 diet cokes a day to 1. It's probably going to be the hardest thing for me to give up totally.

BTW, I was "on the throne" when this conversation occurred. And there may be a lesson here for others. When I woke up today, I didn't feel good, stomach a little queasy. Hmm, I thought, maybe it's because I'm constipated ... better do something about that. I decided to take a swig of prune juice that I recently bought. Not sure how much to drink, I gulped down a random amount -- probably about 6 oz. A couple of hours later, I did "an Al Roker." Like Al, I popped out a tiny fart and was surprised it was not all air. I made the mistake of doing it again ... to be sure ... and voilla, explosive diarrhea! Needless to say, I didn't make it to the bathroom as soon as I'd like.

Can anyone relate to this? I really didn't think I drank that much prune juice! Well, that's how the end of my weekend went. Sure hope Monday is much less dramatic!

Hope to hear back from you guys!
