Congratulations LadyDi!!! You're doing awesome! Welcome to town!!

I just had a great checkup with my bariatric surgeon. I am getting brave and decided to share a "before" and "during" shot.

Lapbandit, you look WONDERFUL! What a difference!

A lot of posts were lost on the day the LBT server crashed (Wed, maybe?). It looked to me like they had to recover back about 24 hours. Maybe your post was during that period?

Here I sit smack on Midtown today. Looking forward to the Road to Onederland that begins once I'm down 1 more pound....

Hi all,

I had to update my signature again as well.

I finally gave in!! I've bought some scales! said I wouldnt do it, but I'm sick of getting weighed all over the place so best to have my own...just have to learn not to get weighed evey hour on them....lol

Just had a NSV, I waved at an old school friend yesterday as i arrived at my parents and he stopped my brother last night as they were passing each other in the car! and said that I looked great and it looked like I'd lost loads of weight!!! this is a fab nsv for me 'cos he's not the type to make comments like that!! and it came at a good time, I was feeling great having lost 4 stones(56lbs, well im 1lb away but...) so i took some photos, and it brought me down to earth with a bump!! I realised i'm still soooo fat!! i know I'm fat but 'cos I've done so well I was concentrating on the weight I've lost not the weight I still am... Has this happened to anyone else?

Julie nyc - we'l miss you in twoterville, but you go girl and maybe one day i'l see you there....lol

well done everyone else...c'mon all you people who haven't updated your xmas challenge...lets do it together!!!

      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!!
