If you order a child's plate and still ask for a doggy bag for leftovers, you might be a gastric sleever.

If your arms flap in the wind like a sail due to loose skin, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you go days without seeing a single turd, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you have to bear down like giving birth to get a turd out, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you can't get through a day without someone making a compliment, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you are obsessed with the scale at your house, you might be a gastric sleever

If you go to the store and grab 3 sizes to try on because you have no idea what size you are, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you walk into a regular size department and feel like everyone is staring because you don't belong in there (but you do), you might be a gastric sleever.

If you involuntarily gag watching other people gorge on food, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you used to shop at Victoria's Secret for undies and bras, but find yourself at Wal Mart for cheapies for multiple size replacements, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you find yourself in the pictures of Wal Mart (the Internet pictures that float around), buying underwear in loose fitting Goodwill clothes, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you trip on your feet constantly because your shoes that are to big, you might be a gastric sleever.

If you can no longer tell time because your watch is so loose and sits halfway up your arm and backwards, you might be a gastric sleever.

That's it for now. I'll see if I can think of more. Fun thread!

So me! Yesterday my mom and I went shopping because she needed some help picking out some new clothes. She shops in the plus size department (she is a banding slowly making her way down) and I was in the regular department. I felt like the people were looking at me like "get back to the fat girl clothes"....even the sales associates looked a little differently at me. I did have one sales associate ask if she could get me started in a dressing room, I politely declined because I had to stick to tradition.....side-by-side dressing rooms with my mom so we could try on and then evaluate each other's outfits. Thankfully we both were able to make out on some amazing sales!!!

      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!!
