Congrats! It is so inspiring to hear how well people are doing. It makes me very excited!

It was very encouraging to read this line of posts. I'm having a really bad/emotional pity party day, but it is so wonderful there are people ahead of me having better days.

most days i don't feel like eating but once i do, it seems like i get hungry quicker especially in the evenings. i am fighting it hard tonight. i know it is just head hunger. i can and will do this. i am 22# pounds away from wonderland and i feel like it will never get there. i am going so slow with weight loss. i am starting to work out everyday. i am feeling like such a failure. some days i am so bad with the things i eat.

My goodness! I look at your numbers and you are halfway to your goal! That is amazing! I think we are often way too hard on ourselves. We need to set smaller goals so we can Celebrate more often.

Tomorrow is a new day. Do something special for yourself :smile:.

Well....it does...and it doesn't, which is a good thing! You will eventually enjoy EVERYTHING you did before on a much smaller scale. I should probably post more often because I am a veteran almost 3 years out and I have a different perspective on things. I do get hungry often but it doesn't take much to fill me up but I can now eat a whole sandwhich if it doesn't have alot of filling in it, etc. but I can't eat chips or drink with it. I am everyone's favorite lunch date because they all want to split with me which really isn't a split because I eat about 1/3 and they eat the rest. Ice cream was my weakness but after about 1/2 a cup, I don't want any more because it makes me nauseous. My sister had her sleeve today and I am very excited for her! I now have to be reasonable about what I eat because I can put on a few pounds if I eat candy, etc. but it goes away really quickly and it is MUCH easier to behave than pre-surgery. Good luck to everyone, it gets easier and easier as time goes on...

      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!!
