I came home and had 3 cruskits with low fat cheese spread , it was so much better than having yogurt, I like Yogurt BUT after 2 weeks I wanted a change.... icon_e_smile.gif

FOR dinner

I managed 1/4 salmon fillet ,1 potato 4 asparagus spears a spoon of Quinoa (instead of rice) and am as full as a goog, a bread and butter plate and I couldn`t finish it ....I was so looking forward to it real food after 5 weeks and thought I could demolish the lot no problems ...But thats great proves to me the band is working even though I don`t have a fill yet..

I am Booked for Tuesday 6th April (Easter Tuesday) for my first fill............3 weeks ...

I told the dietitian I was going to have a Easter egg to Celebrate ... icon_e_smile.gif will be my first chocolate since February and I LOVE CHOCOLATE......... icon_e_biggrin.gif

You sure "sound" happy enough! LOL. You go gal!I bet it is good to taste all those different tastes in one meal! Instead of a conglomeration of everything.

I am having problems with the mushies still...or with anything other than liquids. Thank goodness there's only a week to go until I see the surgeon again........:thumbup:

Oh ! yes I was extreamly happy to have ameal like the rest of the family , I was a bit dissapointed I couldn`t eat it all after looking forward to it , BUT I was also happy to discover the band is actually there and I was FULL ...I have had no problems whatsoever in eating the mushies and felt I didn`t even have a band but I discovered I DO... :wub:

I am sorry your having a tough time with mushies ...maybe you had a lot of swelling after the operation and its taking time to reseed....Just be patient and do exactly as your doctor/dietitian says....

At least the weight is coming off , you are doing GREAT....

Hi Marion....I think we BOTH deserve a pat on the back for our weight loss! Doesn't it seem strange to see that needle coming DOWN?I am so used to it going up....

Spoke with the surgeon today, he rang me in response to an email I sent yesterday, and he is very perplexed.Has told me to take Mylanta or Losec and record the result each time to help him pin point what is wrong. He is making extra time for me next Tuesday to try and solve this issue- he has never come across it before. DUH, just my usual luck to be the one weird one.He says it should not happen with the hiatal repair done at the same time...oh well.. we will find out next week I guess.Thank you for your encouragement.

(As you see, I have changed my ticker info, but I still don't know HOW... each time I have to set it all up once again....being a bear of very little brain, I guess that's about par for the course, eh.:wub:)

Teeli, when you go to your ticker just put your pin in and click on edit info and then a new page will open edit your info put your pin number in again and click next your ticker will be up dated and will update on all your posts....

You have lost such a good amount of weigh ..I can`t wait till I have too...But your right I am so happy to see the dial going down each week slow or not its a fantastic feeling....:tongue2:

Good Night its late and I NEED my beauty sleep :wub:

Chat later ...Marion

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
