I've never lost this much before in my life ! I feel so much better then what I did! I'm getting my life back. I am a lot happier then what I was. I'm starting to take pictures again . I could tell you the last time I enjoyed taking my picture because now every picture I take is going to look better and better every time I take one cause I will look back and see what I have accomplished ! I've got a ways to go but I can tell you this I've already got my life back because I didn't want the wait to beat me and it was about there and I took by the throat and I said NO MORE I'm sick I've you controlling me! I'm tired of setting back and watching my life go by and not enjoying it! There's many battle's I have to face but one for instant is my mother has spiral staircase and it had gotten to the point when that when I went to visit I wouldn't go down them because they hurt my legs so bad! I went and spent the day with her last week I went up and down them at least 8 times! Yes my legs were sore but I did it ! Its the little goals ! I can't fit in dr. office chairs! Like I said I've still have a ways to go but now I have a handle on it ! Thank you jesus!

Congratulations, Im currently sitll completing my Dr. Visits. It has been a long process for me. But I am 38 years old and have not lived in 13 years, I know exactly what you mean when you stated life is passing you by. I cant wait to I get approved so that I can have a life. I just feel my life is not what i should be, I want to be happy and enjoy life with my 13 year old. And feel beautiful again. Im currently 5'2 and 268 pounds, and looking forward to not complaining about my feet or blood pressure. I take full blame for my situation now, but like you I'm tired of feeling sorry for myself and working on doing something about it. It was very inspiring reading you post.

I've never lost this much before in my life ! I feel so much better then what I did! I'm getting my life back. I am a lot happier then what I was. I'm starting to take pictures again . I could tell you the last time I enjoyed taking my picture because now every picture I take is going to look better and better every time I take one cause I will look back and see what I have accomplished ! I've got a ways to go but I can tell you this I've already got my life back because I didn't want the wait to beat me and it was about there and I took by the throat and I said NO MORE I'm sick I've you controlling me! I'm tired of setting back and watching my life go by and not enjoying it! There's many battle's I have to face but one for instant is my mother has spiral staircase and it had gotten to the point when that when I went to visit I wouldn't go down them because they hurt my legs so bad! I went and spent the day with her last week I went up and down them at least 8 times! Yes my legs were sore but I did it ! Its the little goals ! I can't fit in dr. office chairs! Like I said I've still have a ways to go but now I have a handle on it ! Thank you jesus!

Congratulations on the loss, Mandy! I hadn't thought about this in a while, but your post reminded me that I realized I needed to do something about my weight when I sat down in a chair at the dentist, and when I got up, the chair came with me. NOT a good feeling.

      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!!
