Hello all. I had surger this morning at 10. Everything went great and I feel fine. I have no pain as of yet. I am walking on the hour and washing my mouth with Water as I am very, very thirsty. Water tomorrow. Yay! I haven't had any food since last night and I am not hungry at all. :) Very tired and groggy. They give me meds when I need them. Met two other Canadian girls who are here. All the doctors are wonderful and have spent lots of time going over things with me. A very positive experiencs so far! :)

Thank you ladies for the well wishes. I emailed my daughter tonight and told her to take my scales home. I don't want to be a "scale whore". lol Having a bit of insomnia so went for a walk then on here to kill some time. Hubby is sleeping like a baby with his cpap machine. It is very quiet here so there shouldn't be any reason to not sleep, other than the fact I can't seem to get comfy. Well back to try some more zzz's. More tomorrow.

Hey Wendy,

If you can't sleep and want something they will give it to you, hopefully rest came your way. Good call with the scales. I am driving myself crazy and I've learned that my scaled hovers for about a week then BOOM one day it is drastically down, it ends up leaving me disappointed 6 out of 7 days! I really need your daughter to come get my scale too.

I had trouble sleeping there too - strange place, bed not very comfy, arm swelling up and IV popping out - ha. Don't be afraid to ask for a sleeping pill, it helps and resting your body is important to the healing process. I'm so glad you're doing well. Keep up the walking and just know that each day will get better and better!

      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!!
