Well, I actually get constipated just before I go see the doctor.. just about every time. And then I drink a lot of liquid hoping it will make me go and all I end up is being almost full when I go to the doctor. I weighed 211 right before I went to the doctor on my scale (that last month weighed me exactly the same as the doctor's) and this month now that I'm not on a liquid diet, I weighed almost 4 lbs more than I weighed on my scale. And this morning I weighed 209.6.

My doctor said it wasn't as good as he would have liked. I'm pretty ok with it though because, if I lose 3.4 lbs per week - my average so far - in a year I will be at goal. Course, it will probably slow down more - but even if I only lost a lb a week in a year I would be down to 157, which is only 27 lbs from goal and I will have lost 83 lbs.

Hey, I had a full mth liquid diet not sure what you had to do, also I'm eating pretty much only Protein and still shakes because my input is still small.... Prob around 2-3 oz at a time. I do a shake in morning and then lunch then dinner sometimes a nightly snack of Greek yogurt or protein. I would love love love an enchilada! Scared to try anything bready also don't wanna start carbs! Cal intake is prob around 700-800 on a good day. I'm really trying to up it a bit. And boy do I have to get my tush in gear and workout!

Brandywine I was put on any and all food that my tummy would tolerate at 4/5 weeks. popcorn, nuts, Rice Pasta and breads my nutritionalists wants me to eat 100 carbs a day i cant do it yet. I get most of my Protein from foods I will drink a shake sometime during the day if I'm falling short. Love shrimp chicken turkey and salmon :). My input is still small well no more than two or 3 ounces it at any meal. I do take in 800 or so calories a day. When I'm not sick I burn 400/900 calories a day.

I was just cleared to take my arthritis medicine. It's really been too painful to walk much without it. And I live upstairs so even a walk to the car and back has been difficult. He told me I had to take some food with it so I usually eat yogurt.

      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!!
