Ok you guys....18 days and counting. Looking forward to pre op diet because it will be official then!!! I seem y doc on Monday to go over the pre op test results and I've been stressing about them a bit. I have really been taking care of my "head hunger" and dealing with it...i've been of soda, sugar, bread, walking more and drinking plenty of Water and I'm already down my required 12 lbs...BEFORE PRE OP DIET!!!!!

Funny how much better I already feel. I used to take a nap everyday because I was always so tired but now, I have more energy and don't nap. I wonder if it has anything to do with much fewer carbs???

Monday, I also see my new therapist for the first time. She has worked with bariatric patients before and I want everyone on TEAM MEG I can get....I went to a support group thursday night, talked to many people and got phone numbers...So, are the rest of you all excited??? What's going on with you guys??

Take Care,

Meg:biggrin:

Hi Megg, where are you in FL? I am in Ormond Beach, near Daytona on the east coast. I don't have to do the liquid diet except for 3 days prior to surgery and even than, its full liquid. I am so excited! I'm going to MX for my surgery so my anxiety is the plane trip back home. That is the only part that I would change if I could.

      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.

      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!!
