I'm so excited to see you here! What did the fish stick do to you? How did you go from mushy to fishy? I think maybe you could have eaten the insides of the fish, yes/no???

I forgot to mention that my back is killing me, too. My doc even gave me muscle relaxers, but they don't help an ounce (except making me go nighty night. The only relief I get is from my heating pads. I have one in every room now. I even brought one to work because sitting is so painful on my back - I can't sit still at all, ouch! A couple people said it's the anesthesia, however, I discussed this with my primary doctor and she said "that's nonsense." She was the 2nd person to tell me it's probably a "table injury." She said that during surgery you get flopped around like a dead tuna on a boat. You get jerked and dropped and your guts are really traumatized during the whole ordeal.

I remember your shoulder hurt really bad right after surgery. My shoulder acted the same way 5 days later. Is your better now? Is the back pain the same type of shoulder pain you had?

Answers anyone?

I had the same problem...back pain. About 2 weeks after my surgery I could not stand it anymore and went to a Chiropractor and got "adjusted" and not a problem since. Just a thought for you to keep in mind. Hope it gets better.

Kellymoos, I've been thinking about you and almost just sent you a private message to say HEY! Oh, a chiro does sound lovely, but I can't miss any more work. However, I live right by a massage school and a half-hour sesson sounds is only about $20.00. I'll go this weekend, but is it too soon to lay on my belly? I'm only 2 weeks post op.

Meanwhile, is it just me or did they remove part of my brain while implanting my new band? When I write posts they make perfect sense flying from my brain off my fingertips. But when I read them back I find all these typos and my mirds are all wixed up. What's up with that?

Kellymoos, I can't figure out how to send you a private message. I want to post my little picture. You said you'd help me shrink it. Well, I have some pics from over the weekend... what do I do? delarla@juno.com

Thanks!

      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!!
