Gone For Good Club- August 2006



Recommended Posts

I'm back! Judah (my 10 year old son) bought himself a Vault this evening and he is not even close to ready for bed. I wish I had his energy on a regular day--tonight he is bouncing off the walls literally and non-stop yacking! I told him to go play his gamecube so I have some time yet. This has turned into such an enjoyable evening!

Oddly enough, this day has turned out to be great. I've gotten so much love and support from people here that it would be difficult for the bad to overshadow the good that's come out of it. I'm going to bed tired but ok. Being ok is a good thing I think. :confused:

Someone's gone a little deloony. C'mon, lets act a little more mature and just put stuff behind us. I dont know the story behind it all and dont really care. I do know that asking it to stop is a lot to ask for but, I didnt come here to watch people scream at each other. If your intent is to scare people away from posting on the LBT then I think you're doing a good job. I'm sure Moderators will agree. Keep it up and people arent going to want to be here. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a newbie... who's not enjoying watching people fight... and is kind of, put off from posting, hey... turns out I do know enough.

Hey CanadaSunshine,

Thanks for taking on this thread for the month. I'm sure it's a lot of work--especially on Wednesdays! I'm sure Susan appreciates the break too.

I find it challenging enough to keep track of my own stats let alone everyone elses. You're doing a great job.

I like cheese.

Fin.

I love cheese! It's my favorite source of protein! In fact, I just finished a half cup of cottage cheese. I got a fill earlier today (no, my doc does not require 24 hours of liquids, not even mushies) and it has been a struggle to get in enough calories and Protein today.

Yes, I love cheese of any kind! Even the really smelly ones!

You know, Peanut Butter never settled well with me. I had to overpower mine with the jelly to be able to eat it as a kid.

I'm fighting my chocolate craving tonight by eating grapes... not quite the same.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
