Thank you, my sweeties. Because I was and still am phobic about the scale thing I can't tell you guys about all my details on the weight loss stuff. You must know that I chose not to weigh myself after I turned 25 and now I am an ancient fart of 57 going on to 58 years old! Ugh.......

All my weight experiences over the years have been NSVs - the good, the bad, and the very ugly!

I gotta tell you that even though my husband has been telling me that I have been losing weight, I was afraid to jump on the scales today. I was terrified and came close to opting out of the experience. For me this bizness of a weigh-in is not only a question of learning about personal weight loss facts but about conquering complicated personal neuroses.

Oof! You have no idea how afraid I have been to deal with all this scary stuff of getting weighed and knowing just how fat a grrl might be. Why, I've been avoiding all of this crap for decades. I still don't know whether I am happier about weighing in at 170 lbs or having the courage to allow myself to be weighed in the first place. Weird, eh?????????

Thanks for the good wishes. My total weight loss has been 30 lbs and I have gone from a size 18W to a size 14 pant.:) I weighed myself for the first time in 31 years the morning of the operation.

Congrats Green. That is so great! I can't help but weigh myself every week, but I think that the victory of trying on the smaller sizes and having them fit is just as good if not better! :biggrin1:

Whoops, sorry greenine: that IS awesome! Congrats! :myscared:

So, now... back to me.

Fill yesterday = fabuless. Anyone who will be going to Nova Scotia for fills with that lady, have no fear.. She IS awesome. I've never had a better attempt at a fill than my very first when Dr. Cobourn did it himself. Not attempt, cause she did it, on the first 'shot', no wiggling around or any gross-ness. It was awesome, and she was very nice.

The roads were terrible when we left at 6am, but by the time we go to Moncton, they were much better, and we decided we would continue on. Got the fill, went and had some Soup, and drank 2 bottles of Water. An hour and a half later, after a trip to Penningtons where I found this awesome bra I've been searching for in a small size, which I can't get here (40C yay!) We left.

I obviously forgot somewhere about drinking before lying down, and had some flashbacks of the choking on water episodes from my past, again last night, but... yikes. I won't do that again tonight. I have to figure out what a good cut off time is, though.

Anyways, I have lots to do. So... I will. I'd love to go through and read all the posts I've missed the last couple days., but it'll have to wait til later!

      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!!
