Thanks :) I hope that it does...find for the first time today I am hungry even though I've eaten. It probably is because I am used to having huge amounts to eat at night and not eat at all during the day. Plus there are less distractions at night...perhaps I will have to work a bit more lol...keep myself busy.

I am driving to the coast on Sunday (day before) as I have to work on Saturday - I've been trying to fit in all my clients at least once this month before I take three weeks off...it's hard!

Thanks to everyone for your support...it really does make a difference!

Cheers, Lila

Not long for you either Susie, wow 5 ltrs, you might find it hard to get in 1 after the op.

I did notice a increase in going to the toilet, there must be something in them that helps that, as it suppose clear your liver.

Omg girls, decided to walk 10 levels of stairs at work today and for a exercise that took possibly 15 minutes, I have never been in do much pain, my heart was going so fast and at the end, I was light headed, unsteady on my legs (still am 8 hrs out)!! I am going to do this 3 times a week such a great work out and heart rate perfect for weight loss. I started to struggle 2 floors up but just pulled myself up, then had to come back down.

Susie & Lila - time will fly by and before you know it you will be on the other side. It was about 2 days before op I started getting very anxious but surprisingly on day of op I was really calm and couldn't wait to have it done. As soon as I was wheeled into theatre, I was a bit shaky and then my sleep doctor asked how I felt then I was out, woke up 3 hrs later :)

Thanks Shellz :) I'd been going pretty well up until about 7pm. I'd had dinner and was feeling like, what that's it? I kept drinking Water hoping it would fill me and it did but oddly enough I am still h-ungry :( I've also started to get a bit of a headache which I'd avoided so far, so I think I'll try to have an early night and with luck, will put it behind me!

Lila, I had a throbbing headache for about 4 days straight on my Optifast and honestly struggled for the first week. 2nd week I got through no problems. Hang in there, it'll be over soon :)

Hi' date=' I was done on the 13th, so you're a bit further than me.

"nothing tastes as good as skinny feels". I say this to myself whenever I want something I used to love, so about 237,000 times a day. I may just get it tattooed on my wrist, like a rubber band you snap when you think about it. Hopefully once we get to eating normal food, we find we don't want crap anymore, like some of the others here.

Chin up. This too shall pass.[/quote']

Thanks ladies for all your replies . That's so true that's gonna be my new saying! Does anyone find when they drink fluids they feel sick or get the hiccups nearly every time I have something. I vomited last night not sure why . Could it be because I had a hemmrage a day after the surgery that's still effecting me?

Hi Lila, the headaches are normal, and mine passed after day 2. Just keep up the Water and i did rhe same as you and went to bed early to avoid picking. You could always have a bt more salad or vege or i found a stock cube in a cup of hot water reaaly took away that hungry feeling.

Don't stress. It will happen :) I was so worried about it too... How many coloxyl did you take? You can take up to 4 tablets. Go easy though cause next thing you will have diarrhea.

I had one bm on day 5, one on day 11 and again on day 15.

As long as your not in pain? just let nature run its course

      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!!
