Hello New Mexico!! How's everyone doing??

I will be 6 weeks postop tomorrow(Monday)

I am doing ok... I'm trying to go to the gym at least 4 days a week and usually eat around 400 cals or under--- this weekend was diff!! I kinda grazed and ate out alot and granted smaller portions.... But alot more than I had.... Kettle corn street movies, ghengus grill cake etc!!! But I am actually down a lb!!

I gave an appointment tomorrow w an eating disorder specialized as I do not want to fall into bad habits etc..,

So we should all try to meet up again and hopefully we can all make it!!

To post a pic it is easier on the smart phone, I think. After you reply, look for the little 'plus sign' next to the send button. See if that works for ya. :)

Hi!!!! :)

It went realllly good! No complications! I stayed 2 days in the hospital no issues besides the nurses coming to bug me to walk! Cindy was great!! Very sweet Liz as well!

I've seen him 2 times since- I haven't been Taft impressed after-- as I realized other drs take pics and give u stricter guides like dobt go over a certain cal a day or carbs and they give guides but follow paleo- I just wish it was more definite answers - just my pref tho-

When do u have it? It has def been worth it? What's your stats? I was 319 -- In the hospital I gained what I'd lost pre surgery and it stayed that 1st week but then I lost it plus some!!

I was sleeved feb 25th so almost 4 months-- I am down to 250.4!!!! Went from tight tight tight 26 to 22 some smaller --:)

Good luck!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
