I want to get a good exercise routine going. I'm far to hit and miss right now. I want to lose 7 more lbs by my first fill Jan 24th. My big goal is to be down 60 llbs by the 4th of July. That puts me under 200 pounds for the first time in my adult life. I'm really going to have to work for that one, and I'm going to.

I want to be under 200 lbs(currently 245). I want to be in ONEDERLAND!!!!! Im starting a hike every Tuesday with my cousin. She said it is a 3 mile hike. I need to get my butt into motion. I've lost 34 lbs since August 27, 2010(day of surgery). I got off track a little for the holidays. This last fill i got on December 15, 2010 was awesome! I think i have hit my "Sweet Spot" but i still eat things i shouldn't. I dont eat them often or nearly as much as i used to. I gave up smoking 2 years ago after smoking for 21 years so i know i can do this. I havent been obese as long as i smoked. My goal ultimately is to get to 120 lbs. I love it when people tell me they can tell i've lost weight & they ask me how i did it(they dont know about my surgery) and i just tell them i changed my eating habits and started working out, which isnt a lie. Im starting to like myself again too. Im able to wear clothes that i bought a couple of years ago & i love it. It really does make you feel good about yourself. I know i can do this & i will.

Hey guys, I NEED to drink more Water, continue to exercise regularly despite my busy schedule (it is so easy to skip a day), and eat more Protein (I want to get more than the 60g I average).

1. Stick to my excercise routine.

2. Weigh and measure, drink and eat right.

3. Journal everything: eating, emotions, excercise.

I want to get a steady exercise routine going. I was banded in August and have only lost 17lbs since surgery, needless to say I am frustrated. I am hoping to lose 20lbs by summer.

1. Get back to writing down everything I eat (whether I want to or not). That's what keeps me on track.

2. Get back to measuring my food. It keeps me honest.

3. Keep track of how much Protein I eat. I bet it's a lot less than I think.

4. Drink more Water.

5. Keep exercising.

6. Try to lose one pound per week. Key word--TRY. Or maybe, as Yoda said, "There is no try, only do."

I think I might pull out my diet paperwork that I got before surgery and go over that. It might help to inspire me.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
