Good morning everyone,

I've been reading, but just haven't posted. Must have caught the "grumpies" from Lisa, LOL. Just kidding, Lisa. You are a positive person to me.

Hippmom, Lou is doing good. School keeps her hopping. She's at Region VIII now. I'm hanging in there.

I'm not feeling any restriction at all. I'm not disappointed because I've read that sometimes it takes a few fills to get to that "sweet spot". I have been getting a little hungry a lot and sometimes I have not been so great on my eating. I guess Lisa will have to put me out with the "puter".

I was another discussion in here, can't remember which one, but a lady suggested that she needed a kick in the butt ( for eating too much), so someone sent her a reply with a guy kicking another one and it read "you've just been kicked in the butt". I thought it was too funny. So I guess I need that kick. LOL

Glad all the "sick and shut in's":sick are recuperating well.

Glo, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone goofs up. Just start over the next day. You have to take it day by day and work hard on it. It's a long term thing, but you still have to work hard every day to get to that goal. so.....:rolleyes: we are all here to support you. :cheer2:

Good morning everyone! Hope all is well with you this morning

Priss, go to the noscales website and click on e-store. Then, I think you have to go to post-op stuff. Just look around. There are some vials (i think they are 3 oz.) that pack a lot of Protein in them. lo2us has bought some, maybe she can tell you a lot more about them. You might be able to check at the health food stores for some.

Yall have a good day!

i have bought some Protein powder at Walmart. it is pretty good with a scoop of fat free choc ice cream and a cup of ff milk. I bought the vanilla flav protein. Walmart doesnt have the protein bullets. I guess I can add the protein scoop to anything that is cold. I dont know about something hot. I heard it would curdle up. LOL

I bought the nectar from the website. I haven't tried the bullets. The Nectar is sorta like Kool-Aid, but with a funy smell. I would like to try the bullets though!

I will say that I'm disappointed that the company has YET to send my Biotin. I ordered it WAY back!

I think I would be giving someone a call about it. There should be no reason for them to be back ordered or out of stock on something like that. Call and give them grief about it.

great lisa ! ! . You know i am ready for that feeling. But.. it is getting better with the eating now and moving around. I saw some papya enzme at Walmart, had to go ahead and get it for later on. I guess I think walmart should have everything I could possibly need. Now i have the Biotin, and papya enzme and some Protein Powder, just not the bullets. , anything else I need? Of course, I had to break down and buy some benefiber. LOL. Ya'll are such great support and full of info for me. Thanks again for it. I even got to move my ticker today.

      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!!
