You have made a good choice to come here for support. Congrats on being 2 years post op..... How can we help you? I'm 1 year post op and finding that I can go off track really easy. I can eat more now and that scares me. I find myself grazing a lot and am working on changing that. I am just going to eat 3 meals a day, no snacking 1 hour before meals, also fix my own meals. What really helps me here is that I have some cute dessert plates and bowls that hold very small amounts. That helps me not take too much and then I feel content. I find that I'm always thinking about food and what I'm doing is asking myself, "Am I Hungry?" and if my answer is no, I work on not eating it. I really don't need it anyways. So How can we help you? :)

Coming here is a great way to get back on track! Are you on my fitness pal? It is a great way to track your Protein etc.. many of us are on it and friends so we can see what others are eating. Great for ideas and accountability.

I am 10 weeks out and full of enthusiasm due to the success I am having. Would u like to email each other every day or every other day? I have read that a successful tool is to know each day what we r planning on eating for this day.."then we don't have such an opportunity to just grab something

You can go to my profile and email me on this or we could do something else.

You are having many changes in your life.......You and your nephew are grieving the loss of your sister and his mom, but how awesome is it that you took him in and giving him so much love and understanding. Be gentle with yourself and just get back to basics of all Protein for a few days. cut the sugars and carbs out and start with there. You will do fine and your sister is very proud of you and her son. She's so thankful he has a wonderful home.........You are an Angel! :)

      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!!
