This cracks me up a but but my hubby has lost 12 pounds since my surgery and my daughter lost 9. ALL because we haven't eaten out one time. Guess who the real problem is in this family?? Ha- I already knew I was.

My son has been begging me for something. I may agree to subway tonight. Wish I could eat that :(. Not on to salads yet. I don't eat bread. I love oven roasted chicken breast. Hmmmmmm

lol. My husband has lost 10. Before I went on my pre op diet I did a bunch of cooking and put everything in single serving containers for him. The Portion Control was huge for him :) As he saw me not eating as much he chose to eat carrots, celery etc.. with his lunch instead of pop tarts!

Now when I donate clothes I can donate his too I bet!!

No eating out for us either!

my wife has lost 62 pounds since my first meeting with the NUT on april 1st. she is a freaking rock star!

(i do all of the cooking and grociery shopping, so, she said if she was going to eat healthy food, she may as well work on portions and excercise too)

That's so Awesome! My hubby by no means is trying. If anything he's annoyed by my eating now. I think it's funny.

My wife went on the 10 day preop diet with me...liquids only. And we've been hiking, cycling and jogging together since I was cleared for exercise. She said she was only going to eat what I was allowed to eat. But one day I was taking out the trash and I saw an empty Doritos bag stuffed down in the trash bag. God love her for eating it when I wasn't around....I never mentioned it to her. She's the best.

How long was it before you were cleared for exercise?

I lost 25 lbs before surgery (yesterday), but my husband lost 37. I cannot wait to catch-up to him.

Just the opposite in our household. I haven't wanted to cook much, just little bits of things for myself. I'm 5 weeks out and still experimenting with foods. My guy has probably gained a couple lbs since feeding himself equals Mac n cheese, frozen pizza, ramen & burritos. Poor thing, I better get back in the kitchen soon!

Don't know if you can have lettuce yet? But if you have Jimmy Johns in your area, they have the best "unwich" - it's any of their sandwiches wrapped in lettuce. I love their totally tuna unwich and am looking forward to having that when my diet allows.

That is awesome Bean! My hubs has said he is going to do the liquid diet with me. He has also told me to just cook the things I am allowed to eat once I get on full foods after surgery. He is already very active and has been bugging me to go with him to the gym. He is hoping to lose about 10-15 lbs himself because he wants to lose the "Marriage gut" I gave him lol.I am keeping some treats around for the kids but only stuff that won't tempt me:)

      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!!
