Yep, even this old lady has re-discovered how great sex can be after some weight loss! It's amazing and I am much more active than before. DH is very happy and so am I!

Very inspiring blog post ChaCha! I missed you! You've made some major food changes for your diet. I was just at Whole Foods and looking at better quality foods, thinking that just might be the way I want to go. I'm 4 wks postop now, and eating soft foods. Quantity is still very small, and I too always put more on my little plate than I can come near to eating!! Which is okay with me. Weight loss has been slow, but who cares?! I'm fine with that too. Congrats with your progress!

Way to go!!!

I'm 4 weeks post surgery & having the same issue with how to put meals together. My Husband & I went to breakfast this morning. My first meal out! I had oatmeal & It was really good, but now I have enough left overs for all week! I worried about what to eat. I need to go thru the sample diets they gave me.

Wow 6 weeks! Sounds like things are going well for you!

So glad to hear everything is a GO! Be prepared for the pre-op diet. To me, the first 3 days was the worst of this whole process! If I can do it, anyone can . . . . not easy, but I did it, and it helped set the mindset that I needed to get through the recovery process. Best of luck, and keep us posted!

I will add you to my prayers! I had an Xray taken of my left hip, and they saw "something" and I had to wait 2 weeks before they could get me in for a CT. Found out it was nothing.

I stopped my daily weighing by my 3rd week because I realized I was obsessing about it. So now, I only weigh on Fridays. I'll do a weekly weigh-in with you! Sign me up!!

Hooray!

I love your insights, and the way you think!

wow i am 3 day post-op cant wait to get to 30 days sounds great. glad for you

You are doing so great!! I hope and pray to be just like you!! Congrats!

Happy Surgeversary!! Mine was on yesterday. I am glad you feel better and more energized.

So happy for you! So many things I dream of, more energy, smaller clothes, eating less. And the recognition from loved ones is always appreciated! Good for you in making the right choice for yourself. You're like dyno-mite!!! Keep it up, I'm on your tail, lol.

Congrats on your NSV's! I'm so glad that your doing so well!!

Well done you're doing so well! I have a friend who is at the 6 month stage and still had no head or physical hunger - can't weight.
Joni & Ruth, you'll be leading the way in April, my date is the 26th. The very best of luck to you both. This is our second chance to get things right:) Alison x

Hi there from australia its hard to believe that i will have the same feeling of not being hungry lol as i seem always to be at the moment i have surgery on monday 2nd april and im very anxious....thanks for your blog .......congratulations

Sounds like you're doing fantastic. Glad you're feeling stronger. You need to get lots and lots of rest right now. I like the idea of staying off the scale too. I think I'll plan to do once a week too.
Got my insurance approval and OR date set for 4/23. I'm close behind you! Hugs - Joni
