Maybe we can all help each other out. My surgery date is April the 27th with Dr. Garcia and to be honest I'm more scared about the plane ride..It's my first time. lol

I'm being sleeved by Dr Garcia on April 23rd. Haven't rode a plane in 25 years. Nervous about fitting into the seat! Hopefully your plane ride is short!

Well maybe I'll see you there Jthurman. I arrive on the 26th and I've never been on a plane before EVER! lol My plane ride isn't short either. I'm flying from Philadelphia but I did manage to get exit row seating for all the flight's except for 1. I was told those seats are a bit more roomier.

Oh, geez. I can't remember which Hotel it is (I know) I should remember these things, but I believe Alma told me the Marriott as well. So you'll be leaving out the day of my surgery. Will you be traveling alone?

Yes, we should be able to see each other. I 'll be with my husband, but I'd love to come by and see you if you're not too tired or groggy.

      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.

      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!!
