I'm scheduled for 09/09/09 and can't wait! I'm getting a little sad that I won't be able to have a 'regular' meal with my husband anymore - eating together is a big deal for him. I feel like I will eat my meal in 15 seconds or less!

Howdy from Colorado! I am scheduled in Denver for 9/24/09 with Dr. Metz. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I just hope and pray I am making the right decision for myself so I can continue to lead a happy, healthy productive life! I can't stand the thought of altering my tummy but I can't make headway any other way. So, we'll all be in this together! Rebekah

I think it actually takes 30 minutes for us to eat a meal. You have to chew...and chew... and chew some more. And then rest.....lol

Actually, I find that if I take about 45 minutes to eat then I stay fuller much longer ... so it may be your hubby is done before you.

See, I am the opposite. If I take too long to eat, then I end up eating a lot more because some of it has started digesting and I have more room. I am usually done eating in about ten to fifteen minutes.

Two nights ago I actually took the time and forced myself to spread it out over approx. 45 minutes - I was able to get down a small piece of meatloaf and 2 slices of homegrown tomatoes ... it was the first time since moving to mushies/food that I actually felt full and stayed full and didn't eat the rest of the evening. Generally I eat, get full fast and am hungry again in an hour. I did the same thing at lunch yesterday and got the same results.

I guess everyone is different in this regard.

My surgeon recommends we take 45 min. I used to do 10-15 and now I'm up to 20-30, which I see as a big improvement. I don't think I'll ever do 45 on a regular basis but I wouldn't mind doing 30-45.

      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!!
