Hello all, I love in Katy and also going to true results dr riley. I just got approved a few weeks ago, got the call from his office and surgery is scheduled for May 24th. I'm on day 3 of my pre op diet and doing well. I'm really nervous and anxious. I'll ready to be my real self and lose this weight.

Looking forward to the support from this group and this thread.

I was just thinking that we should form our own support group to start doing activities and things we couldn't do before after everybody has their surgery . I think it would be fun. I believe Cassandra suggested it! This will keep us motivated and moving forward' ! I'm praying for all of us on this journey' we can do this

Maybe we should do a meet and greet or something but i'm not sure where we can do it considering we're either on pre or postop diets.

Hey ladies ! I'm so super excited .... I just had my last appt for my surgery . They will be submitting paperwork for my approval this week! So I pray all goes well. Then I am well on my way . I can't believe I'm going thru with this. I still have not shared it with anyone other than my husband . I will tell my mom like a week before the surgery. I don't need any negativity . I made this decision on my own.

Congratulations ! ! ! ! It does not take BSBC long to approve. It took them about 3 weeks or so to approve me. Did you do your psyc eval? Then your EDG? ...........GIrl I know what you mean about the negativity. Everyone around me saying you are fine there is nothing wrong with you but it is more then the physical apperance. I need to be healthy you know what I mean,

Yes I've had everything except the edg. I don't have to have it . I think most ppl say that because they may want u to stay where u are. Not having it ! I'm so ready to have this life change. Once I get my approval I feel like I can really live the life that I was meant to live . Ur right this is abt our health . I'm tired of breathing hard after tying my shoe .

      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!!
