Morning all! Hope you all had a good Valentine's Day!

Globetrotter, we have these mini challenges that we set our own goals and try to achieve them, the next one is for Easter! so that is 10 weeks away, so what do you think you can get down to by then. there is a whole thread for it, and it is kind of motivational and challenging at the same time.

I also love seeing what everyone is eating so I know where I am with how much I am eating and get ideas of what else I can try! That is why I started this thread, i love some of the things that you come up with!

Ok so here is LND and Dessert: 1 turkey meatball and 6 strands of spaghetti.... 2 slices of chocolate covered banana 4 medium chocolate covered strawberries (we melted the chocolate and covered our own fruit) the kids loved it!

PreB- Protein shake (choco powder, 1/2 banana, PB, SF caramel, milk)

B- yogurt w/ blueberries

L- roast beef roll ups & cantaloupe

D- i'm making: smothered chicken with bacon & cheese

vites - as soon as i get the yogurt in

Water - need to work on getting more in

exercise - need to work on this more

I'm really unsure of what my day will hold. Right now I'm just working on drinking because my throat hurts so bad. This is the third time I have been sick since surgery :( (haven't been sick in over three YEARS but I know a lot of it is the weather here compared to Hawaii! hehe)

What has your Doc or NUT recommended, mine pretty much said eat what you can tolerate, so at five weeks I was on soft foods and meats in the food processor. Soups are great too.

I am 5 weeks out, How much should I be eating cause that sounds like alot of food to me?

At 5 weeks out I was starting to incorporate solids. So I think I was having bites of hamburger. I do not think at that point I was eating more than a few bites of food per meal. If you weigh out your food, 2 oz is not a lot. most of the time it was like 2 TBSP. I was still eating creamy Soups and yogurts. Now, my yogurts are about 4 oz but it takes me like 30 minutes to eat. my meat roll ups are 3 oz but takes me 30 mins to eat. I eat so slow that when my mom cooks dinner, I never even bother to heat mine up when I get home from work cause by the time i'm on my 3rd bite it is all cold again anyway! LOL!!! I cannot eat any more that 3 oz per sitting of solid food!

      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!!
