Recommended Posts

I just saw a comercial for crab cakes.... :tongue2: OH Lordy they looked sooooo good! Will I ever be able to eat one of those again.

I'm still on liquids, only being 5 days out from surgery. I want a sandwhich, some chips, pizza sounds good, a bowl of past-a-roni, peanut butter.... just FOOOOOD! lol

I am so done with these shakes! Ugh. 8 more days of liquids!!! BOOO!!!!!:wub:

I have been on Clear Liquids since my surgery (Friday) and I'm going on "full liquids" tomorrow. I can't tell you how excited I am to eat the Cream of Wheat I can have tomorrow! And even the Protein Shakes I was so sick of last week are sounding fabulous. Cream Soup? Oh, yes, that will be awesome!

I'm 8 days post op... and sooo sick of gatorade! I was finally able to eat half a yogurt last night. Never knew how good vanilla yogurt could be lmao.

There's an amazing Chinese food place around here that I can't stop craving! That and pineapple pizza with hot sauce... YUM! lol

What sounds good to me right now?! I've been where you are and I understand. But what really sounds good to me is-- not being the fattest person in the room, wearing great clothes, being fitter and feeling good, having lots of energy and all the other things that come from sticking to your doctor's orders! I know it's hard, but you can do it. Try and distract yourself from your cravings.

      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!!
