Was 5 pounds heavier yesterday. Today was 5 pounds lighter. Seriously' date=' I'm about ready to do a colon cleanse if this keeps happening. It's the TOM or the Poo. Probably the poo. Massive blowout and bam! 5 pounds lighter. How is that even possible with the extra Water and little bit of food? I'm about ready to set un an IV of Benefiber. TMI? Sorry.

I just used to be so regular and then all of a sudden for no apparent reason, it decides to set up shop and invite squatters.[/quote']

I completely understand. I'm pre menopause and my body doesn't know what it wants to do. I have finally gotten my sweet tooth vs salt back 4 months post op thanks to this. And all the internal mood swings with no idea of timing. Just one more thing to have to listen to my body.

I have finally moved the scale and hit the 60 lbs lost mark! Hitting the gym consistently and upping the speed and incline on the treadmill seems to have helped!! Anyone who says surgery was taking the easy way out is going to get floored!!! LOL

Awww what's wrong girl? I'm with ya though I'm in a bumpy patch. I threw up last week for the first time. Ever since then my stomach is very very sensitive. Not sure why but I'm getting very little of essentials in. Uggh guess just another bump in the road. Hope it gets better sister!!

becca i left me lunch at home :unsure: so i had to figured out what to eat with no money so the boss ordered pizza and i had a slice of pepp and a slice of cheese was full but not stuffed, than my other manager bought in this huge cheese danish and i had a slice of that, than i had my regular Snacks but i then added some doritos with my greek yogart, than later another slice of danish, and i dont crave sweets anymore. DAMN CARBS lol. than at lunch they had fried chicken so i had 2 wings with salad than later when i was clocking out i hit the vending machine and got more chips, ate them on the way home, than i got home and had a homemade healthy brownie, than a piece of dark chocolate. WTH HAPPENED TO ME. i think it was that damn pizza with allits bread that started that crap. not today im going to do well today . oh and the scale went back to 229 now i have to change my ticker bummer :(

parker i am scared also, when i was eating the pizza i felt like my old self and that scared the crap out of me and the way i spiraled out of control god give me strength, this surgery is not the easy way out at all, what have i done to myself? :wacko:

New gma.

Don't be so hard on your self! We all loved pizza and we all want it again. You had it you sufficed that craving now all you can do is jump back today like you said. And don't change your ticker :) it's just Water weight! It will be back Down to tomorrow promise :) Also yes, we are in the loosing phase bit eventually we will be normal and able to eat normal foods again but hopefully still in small portions and we have to learn control. Yesterday was a " learning" curve day for you dear:) that's all it was so not even a terrible eating day - learning day ;) do better today mama xo

Hi friends, I've been MIA for a few days. I went to NYC for a visit and I didn't so a great job getting in all my Water and Protein. I had a great trip except it was sooooo cold!!!! I did get in a lot of walking.

I'm back now and time to get back to the basics.

I'm a little scared to weigh myself. I so don't want to see a gain.

      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!!
