I'm definitely ready for surgery. Bought a fitbit so i can record my steps and flights and I'll also log what i eat on my fitbit android app. It also records your sleep pattern because the correct amount of sleep is also important in losing weight.

I fully expect everyone on here to whoop my behind if I slack behind.

Long day. Home from the Cardiologist and EGD. The ticker is working good, got some medication for my blood pressure, and found a small hernia which helps with my insurance;) Got instructions for pre-op diet which is phase 1 of the South Beach Diet. Surgery date is June 15th and I am super excited and ready!!!

cfurrey...This is an exciting time! It's natural to be nervous. You made this choice for a reason. Take a deep breath and remember why you are doing this. It's going to be hard, but soooooo worth the journey. We will all be here to support each other. You can do this. I am 54 years old and not nervous at all. I'm not sure why, maybe my excitement has taken over. I have less than a week and can't wait! Hollar if you need a pick me up!!! Big hug!!!

I have thought about this for a long time and decided this is what's best for me to get control of my health and my life , time for me to make better choices for my health and this is it, we will do well or we would not have made this decision.

I have been adding crushed ice to my Protein Drinks with a little sugar free pudding powder shaken in. It has made the drink thicker and tasting better. I am trying to get one down a day with low carb high Fiber the other two meals.

I am 58 yo and at the low end of the BMI scale ( 35) I weighed 325 , lost 127 pounds but have not been able to keep it off. I was down to 198 but have slowly crept up to my preop high of 242. I am hoping to regain a sense of control and my health back since I don't want to go back to my previous weight. Banding scheduled for 6/5.... have had lots of surgeries so not nervous but wish it was over.

      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!!
