I had my barium swallow today. It was waaaaaay better than the manometry study. Everything looked good and there's no hernia. I met with the NUT and I've lost 6.5 lbs on the pre op diet so far. 12 days to go!

How's everyone doing?

Trying to adjust to this protein...not easy but mandatory. Realizing change isn't my preference but this is the only way I can move out of this body to my new slimmer frame. Slightly stressed.

I've been working on exercising - at least 30 min. a day. So far so good! Although yesterday I did EA Sports Active for the first time - I set it on Medium intensity. BIG mistake. I made it through (though I couldn't do the reverse crunches) but I am HURTING today. Tomorrow I'm changing it to Easy intensity and praying to god there are no reverse crunches. :)

Hey July sleevers! I am also going from a band to a sleeve two weeks from today on July 5th, with Dr Jayaseelan I Dallas, TX. I start my full liquid diet tomorrow after my blood work appt. i was cleared for surgery yesterday by my heart dr, so all that's left after tomorrow's appt is my pre op appt next Thursday on the 27th, then my surgery the week after. This was a hard journey, but God had my back and still does! I can't WAIT to rid myself of this extra 'person' I've been carrying around on me!

No Internet over the weekend! :P hope everyone is doing well! I had a really rough time sticking to the liquid diet this weekend. I wanted food soooooo badly. I didn't cheat, though. There's a WLS support group at the clinic tonight that I'm going to, so I'm looking forward to that. Trying to wrap my mind around the fact that this is the last week my stomach and I will be 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!!
