Teesaa

I am coming up on 3 weeks post op. I have not had a problem eating foods, but really stick to my Soups, Protein Shakes and Water, water, water.
Next week I can begin puree foods which will be heavenly.
My biggest problem is gauging how much is just right. I always seem to take a spoon or two too much.
Typically I find a pound a day gone.

Surgery tomorrow for me too. Good luck everyone.

I'm also 9/14. All of a sudden the days are flying by and it will be here before we know it

I was quite surprised by:
- the intensity of the gas pain
- my entusiastic reaction to pureed chicken after drinking nothing but liquids
- my new obsession (weighing myself in the morning, without clothes, with clothes, before pee, after pee, at my friend's house, after a nap, in the middle of the night, with my hair up, with my hair down, on the bathroom floor, in my bedroom, 3 times in a row, 4 times in case the previous 3 were wrong etc.)
- the feeling of not being hungry (yes I know it's normal, and I did not it would happen, but the feeling is still new)

Wow, time flies when you are kicking butt. I am happy and down 125 pounds from my high weight. I am a few pounds from my self made goal and the scale has slowed to a crawl. I am okay with that. I have done things I wouldn't have ever dreamed of in this past year. I am physically active, have stopped abusing alcohol, eat much better, and feel amazing. Oddly enough my brain can not catch up with the size of my body. I still see that same big boy. I KNOW how much I have lost, but my brain hasn't fully adapted to my new body. weird weird weird. I can't wait to see what my 1 year follow up will be like as I prepare for maintenance mode.
Thank you to all of you on this site as this site was a huge factor in my success.
Pictures will follow in a different thread.

Yay!! I too am one year out today. Down 110 lbs. I would like to lose 20 more but that is also a self-made goal. I've gone from a 2XL to a M. I don't snore, was able to get off anxiety meds, have energy and hope, and physically I have not felt this good in decades. My life is back. I am so grateful to my surgeon and his team and for the support of people here. God bless.

Tomorrow is the big day!!

I'm also 9/14. All of a sudden the days are flying by and it will be here before we know it

I posted this three days ago and I am already feeling better. It is difficult to have such a drastic lifestyle change but we chose this for a reason - to be healthier! I don't want to sit on the sidelines of my life anymore. I would rather be able to do things with others than eat a whole pizza by myself. It is definitely a mourning process and incredibly difficult to come to terms with. But you will eat more than 6 teaspoons again and you will enjoy food again! It's not the easy way out, it's very difficult and mostly a mental battle. Hang in there!

Me! I'm 9/14. 3 days after my 32nd bday. No wine for me

I am scheduled for 9/14/15. Terrified, but moving through it. liquids start Labor Day for 7 days

9/14 for me too. Good luck to all!

You are warriors remember that! I am one week out til surgery and I am getting nervous and scared as I am very high risk...BMI is 79 a couple of weeks ago after losing 75 lbs. I hate this 2 week liquid diet too, but I keep telling myself this is how it has to be to reach my goal to live a happier healthy life. Just think about your health, shopping, quality of life, being more active without hurting and that will get you thru I promise. Wishing you and everyone else the best.

Tomorrow! Surgery tomorrow!

???????? prayers sent

Im 10 months post op and i have 22lbs to go. I honestly dont see me reaching it in a year. It took me one month to loose 2lbs. I lost 40lbs my first week post op and after that the other 20lbs were hard to loose and took longer.
SW259lbs
CW191lbs
GW170lbs
I exercise 3-4 times a week. Not sure what to do. I cut back on my carb intake and lowered my cheese intake (i love cheese) im trying on my Water (i fail on days im off or when im crazy busy at work)
I do (most days) 1 shake a day and get my other Protein through food.
I have 89lbs to loose in total and I watch everyone elses journey and people with same stats and they are closer to goal then me. I know everyones different but im nowhere where i want to be.
I dont need tough love i just need a hug.

So glad your over the worst if it.
