Hi All,

Nanaviv-congrats on finding a drink that doesn't make you sick! Wonderful. Bariatriceating.com has a lot of whey Protein samples that you can try out so you do not have to buy the big jugs until you know if they work. Good luck.

Chrispy-thanks for the hello! I have not been online at all this past week. We had a death in the family and it was very crazy around here. Things are settling down a bit now. Sorry to hear about the bronchitis. Take care of yourself so you can get back to dancing soon! :confused:

John-congrats on the date! You must be psyched. Way to go on the weightloss. I could not have stuck to a liquid diet pre-op. I am impressed. I too had major fears about the fatty liver and I joined WW for 2 months pre-op. It helped me immensely and I acutally still go because it keeps me accountable. I don't know if that seems ridiculous but I still like going.

Sherry-I hope your code in node is getting better. I hate being stuffed up.

Rainbow-power tools? watch out. I would love to get together over feb break, let me know what your schedule is. My kids are off but I still have school so it may be hectic but worth a shot.

I am sleepy tonight. I had a bit too much wine last night and it has me wrecked today. I normally don't drink but went out last night and the winde went down too easily. I learned my lesson though. I am really glad I didn't get sick since that would have totally freaked me out. I did eat a handful of cheez-its before I passed out though...but I chewed them really well in my buzzed state. <---bad girl!

Have a good week everyone.

Hi, I,m fairly new to this site, On 1/29/07 I had my first appointment at the BIDH, blood work , met with the nurse and dr. H. Already been to two info meetings, My next appointments are on 2/13/ altrasound and nutritionist. Psch eval on 3/1 hope everything goes alright, Dr H seems I,m right on schedule and should not have any trouble W/ INS with my HBP. only thing that would slow my process is the altrasound of the G/B. Anybody else near these stages.

high blood pressure and a BMI that high will help your cause to get the band. I had Tufts at the time and my BMI was 47 and I had HBP. They approved me no problem.

      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!!
