The only problem is that I had to wash all the clothes I wore right away. The Reservation still allows smoking in a public place even though it's a State law and has been for a few years.

You should have sent them to me to sniff!! LOL

(in case that sounds creepy, it's because as of tonight, I'm 1 week smoke free)

Mandi, next time my clothes go to New Brunswick for you to sniff first. Will you send them back clean? This could be the start of a beautiful friendship, I ship my clothes to you and you do the laundry. What do you think? On second thought don't answer that!

How are you now Mandi, are you still tight? I just got back from a dinner meeting. Took my first few bites and it was stuck had to leave the dinner table to Pd, good thing everyone was eating and no one was in the washroom. Now I'm thinking do I really want a fill? The last 2 days I've been feeling a lot of restriction. What's up with that? My fill is on Tuesday. I am confused. There were a few questions like "you hardly ate anything did you not like it? or Are you not feeling well" First time I had to use little white lies.

Yoda, my band is a 4cc band. 2ccs in a 4cc band means it would already be half full or will it be half empty???

Haha.... if that's what I gotta do for a sniff, OK! :peep: LOL

No, I think I'm back to 'normal' now. I had a pretty decent size bowl of Soup for dinner.

Hmmm... maybe you should give that fill a 2nd thought. And you're half full!

Wheezy: you might need to re-think it for sure. (your fill I mean). Have you been losing an average of 1-2 lbs a week?

You see that's the problem... I haven't loss any weight at all for quite a while. I know I am definitely eating a lot less than before the surgery. So what's up with that!!! Today again, lots of restriction. Could this be what they mean when it could take a few weeks to take? My last fill was 3 weeks ago. I'll see how the weekend goes and decide if I want to postpone the fill.

2 weeks after the surgery I was down 20 lbs, now I am down 18. I gained 2 lbs. I knew I had a metabolism problem before the surgery so I knew it will still be a tough ride. I'm not ready to give up yet. Dr M decided on an extra .5 ccs to top up to 2ccs but I'm considering asking for only .3 ccs. I don't think that the Dr in Ottawa would object considering the restriction that suddenly appeared. Who knows by next week I'll probably be able to eat a whole caribou!!!

Wheezy... yes, that would be really frustrating. I feel so special, that *I* saw you on your surgery day! If nothing else... it's been 3 months since surgery, for you... and 18lbs. That's an average of 1.5lbs. I know it was all in the first couple weeks, but, if you think of it that way... you ARE on track. :straight

7 of them were pre-op. Thanks for trying. I don't know if you have noticed but I gave up my ticker. It's was getting embarassing. It's OK though, like I said before, I am NOT giving up yet.

      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!!
