Hi' date=' I'm scheduled for Sept. 11th! I started my liquid diet on August 14 and I'm so proud that I haven't cheated at all. Only 6 more days and I'm getting nervous. I have a 9 month old and 3 year old. Anyone else with lids?[/quote']

Since mid August?? That's nuts! Hope you don't mind me asking but where do you live? Your only the second person I've heard have to go so long.

Just checking in with all my September peeps. Tomorrow is 2 weeks post-op for me and so far, it has really been an amazing experience. I think I got myself REALLY worked up before hand (with good reason- it IS major surgery with life-altering consequences) and I am SO happy to report that things could not have gone any better.

My surgery was on the 17th and I was in the hospital for about a day and a half. Admitted Monday morning, discharged Tuesday afternoon. The first week was a teesny bit rough. But I took the drugs, drank as much liquid as I could and walked as much as possible.

SInce I've been home, I just have been following instructions and sleeping when I felt like it. Tomorrow I am back to work.... so that should be interesting. I don't know how to inlcude this info in my ticker, so here's my progress "by the numbers"

Pre-"everything" = 225

09/17 Day of Surgery (after 2 week liquid) = 216

09/24 One week post-op = 208

09/30 A day shy of two weeks post-op = 205

20Lbs down 65 to go!

Hope everyone else is having a speedy and healthy (and easy!) recovery.

Hey SkinnyAnnie :-)

I'm officially 10 days out today. I was sleeved on 9/21. I'm a lucky girl. Recovery has been fairly smooth. I'm still struggling to get 65g of Protein in, but I'm pretty close. Today it's my goal to meet it. I'm getting about 32 oz of additional liquid in, still working up to my 64. Tomorrow is the surgical follow up....then I will know weights.

I am finding after walking around for a little less than 15 min or standing still in one place too long gets me a little woozy. I'm trying to move a bit more everyday. Is anyone else experiencing that? Otherwise I feel good. Hope everyone else's recovery is as smooth ;-)

      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!!
